The women jumped up and swarmed in the companion-way of the saloon, making for Ihe deck, M here they were met by the stewardess, who sto! in the May, and hnlf forced, half persuaded them to go back, telling them there M-as no danger. After the screw had broken the engines alo failed, and the sails proved tiseleps; the male pas sengers then cheerfully formed themselves into gangs and Morked at the pumps, but, as one said, they "Mere pumping at the North Sea," and as it M as obviously im possible to make a clearance ot that the task M-as abandoned, and the oflicers, creMr and passengers re'.apsed into a state of expectancy of succor from without. That this could not'long be coming hsip pilv seemed certain. The rockets Miikh had been sent up had liecn ansM-ered from the shore. The lightship, Mhich had helped to mislead the Captain, M as plainly visible, and at last two ships sailed by so near that till they began hopelessly to fade away, one to the northward and the other to the southward, the passengers M-ere sure those on Iraard had seen the M'reck, and were coming to their assist ance. Perhaps it M-as this certainty of the nearness of succor that kept off either the shrieking or the stupor of despair. How ever that may be, it is one of the most notable features about this fearful scene that, with a few exceptions, after the first shock everybody Mas, throughout the first day, Monderfully cool, patient and self possessed. There was no regular meal on Monday, but there was plenty to eat tind drink, and the opportunity seems to have been generally, though moderately, im proved. The women kept below all da-, and, Mhile the tires were going, were served Mith hot soup, meat, bread and wine, and seemed to have been inclined to make the best of a bad job. But toward night the horror of the situation increased in a measure far beyond that marked b the darkness. All day long the sea had been washing over the ship, but by taking refuge in the bertlis and on the tables and benches in the saloon it had liten possible to keep comparatively dry. As night fell, however, the tide rose, and at midnight the Mater came rushing over the deck in huge volumes, filling the saloon and mak ing the cabins flonting coffins. Then the women were ordered up and instructed to take fa' the ringing, but many of them, cowed by the wilduess of the sea that now sM-ept tne oecK lore ami art, and shuddering before the fury of the pitiless, sleet-laden gale, refused to leave the saloon. Then happened horrible scenes which the pen refuses to portray in their fullness. One M-oiflM- driven mad with fear and despair, deliberately hung herself from the roof of the saloon. A .man. taking out his pen knife, dug it into ui'j ' P"d worked it Hliout & long as lie had stfe'iW' '.r'"F Miiere he M. Another man.incoh( H fft'y nlHng on the wife and child he had left Iri (Mt manv. rushd about with a bottle in his hrtnd frantically shouting for pter and j'ei'ti'. neloIy gave him Ixith, and scribbling a ln.'.'v "h o'Jted it down in a bottle and threM- it oveto.'.1fd- fotlowiug it himself a moment later as a great -ie came and swept him overboard. There were five nuns on lioanl, who, by their trrr"r-tricken conduct, seem to have added greatly fo flip wcirdness of the stTne. 'The were deaf to all cntrcalie1o leave tlie !ifo"if, and when almost by main force the stewardcM (whf5e rrmdnrt throughout Mas plucky in the clfr-rn?) TMn;ged to get them on to the companion ladder, tin' y .?! U down on the steps and stubbornly refused irf g" nother step. They seemed to have returned to the saloon again shortly, for some time in the dead of the night, mIicii the greater part of tlie cr?w nnd passengers were in the ringing, one was wen Mith her body half th'rot'go the skylight, crying aloud in a voice hc-ifd flfrrV the 'tonus "O, my Hod. make it quick! make" It qlili'M" At daylight yesterday morning, Mhcti the tide had ebbed, leaving the deck clear, -opto on the rigging M-ent down and look ing into (JJC rsWn aw the nuns Moating about face upward, a'i th.'tkl.- It whs not so dark but that those in the rl'i could distinguished each other's features, nhd tho have the comfort of companionship. There -em to have been a wonderful amount Of unelflhness displayed; every body cheering and trying U' help every liodv else. One ot the pas.scPFern h cheery Teuton, named Adolph Herrmann took a young American lady under his special charge, nd had the satisfaction of peel in; her olf to London this afternoon. He tok her tp the rlgglnjr and held her on there all through ihv n'gtht., and Mtys she was as brave and as sclf-'OVres,d as if they had been comfortably on shore Sunt t'oie during the night an unknown friend passed ,'lcwn to him a bottle of whisky. The cork Mas in tb lotile, and as he Mas holding on to the rigging with one hand and had the other round the liidy there was some difficulty in getting at the contents of the bottle. This he finally solved by knocking the neck off, and then found himself in the dilemma of not htiug fl.de to get the iMtle to Ihe lady's moulh. " Volt re pouring it down my neck,'' was her quiet response to his first essay, but in the end he succeeded in aiming the whisky in the right direction, and 'W taking some himself passed it on, feeling mUch. refrenhcnl. Just before Hits a tcrr'ihlr acr-hu-nt oc curred, M hich threatened' death tO onn or both. The purser, Mho had fixed him' self in the rigging some yards above them, gelling numbed, loosed his hold, and failing headlong down struck against the lady nnd liounded ofl' into the sea. lint Herrmann kept hi hold, mid the nhock was scarcely noticed, On such a night all the obligations were not, as Herrmann gratefully acknowledges, on the one side; for when one of his ieet got numbed his couipfinioo, following his direction, stwmpcd upon it till circulation Mas re stored. From their perilous post, Mith waves occasionally dashing up and blind ing them M-ith spray, they saw some ter rilile scenes lielow. A man tied to the mast nearer the deck had his head cut oil by the M-aves, as Herrmann says, though probably a rope or a loose spar Mas the agent. Not far off a little boy had his leg broken iu the same manner. They could henr and see. the nun shrieking through the skylight, nnd when fhe was silenced the cry was laken up by u woman wailing frof "the wheel-house: " My child is dnQncth Hit little one, Adam." At day light a sailor, running nimbly down the rigging, reached the poop and, bending over, attempted to seize some of the hall-drowned people who were float ing about. Once he caught a little child by the clothes, but before he could secure il a wave carried it out of his grasp and his shrieks were hushed in the roar of the waters. At nine o'clock yesterday morn ing the tide had so far ebln-d that ihe deck M as clear and, coining down from the rig ging, the battered and shivering survivors began to think of getting breakfast. A provident sailor had, Mliile it mhs possi ble, tnken up aloft a couple of loaves of black bread, a ham and some cheese. These M ere now brought out nnd fairly distributed. An hour and a half later ail peril Mas over and the galmnt survivors were steaming for HarM ich in the tug boat Liverpool. (atlicrinsr Honey and Pollen. Tmk honey is taken from the flowers by the bees, and on their M ay home it is pass ing through a churning process, and churned. '1 lie body of the bee is put to gether in three sections, or bands, and un derneath the two front bands on each side there is an outlet, or small hole, where the butter oozes out after In ing churned. This butter is pure white wax. It is received by other l-es and placed in the comb, or cell, and by the mouth of the bee it is pressed out in ils proper thickness and the balance remaining w hich, to carry out our simile, we may call buttermilk is thrown up by the bees into the cells, and the longer it remains there the sweeter it gets, as it extracts the sweetness or the vir tue from the comb, bringing back the Ixxly of the sweets which is contained in its first gathering from the flowers ; one pound in the comb three years old has as much medical virtue us three tHitinds one year old. Besides the honey there is the pollm, Mhich is of more lwncfit to the bees than the honey.. Alter it is dejiosited in the comb it is called bee-bread, as it is their principal living in the winU r and their young iced on it altogether until they are ready to work. The pollen is gathered in this wise; The back of the bee "is covered with a line wool, or hair, and on entering the flowers the pollen sticks to it. and when necessary to release it, it is combed out. The bee has six legs, three on each side, and. the middle one on either ide has a comb on the under side, from the forked to the first joint. As this can reach only half-way across the back, it is combed from both sides and the txdlen is taken from the comb by the two fore-feet. It is then flat tened by the two fore-feet and caught le tween the toes and passed back to the thighs of the hind legs, each one receiv ing the same weight as nearly as possible. The pollen is taken from the end of the petals of such flowers as the bees cannot enter while on the wing, the front feet being used for this purpose. The pollen is removed by putting the leg in the cell, when it is pushed olf w ith the forked toe and. stepping to one side, the other is cleaned in the same manner. Aaerim Bee Jvurnd. A Dkpltv-Siikrikk near Hampden. Conn., lately brought a 'thief whom he was pursuing to a halt pretty suddenly and w ithout harming him in the leat. The two were evenly matched as to run ning powers, and the officer, though c lose upon the culprit, could not gain upon hni'. Suddenly the officer threatened to shoot, and throwing a hard piece of snow at the man tired his revolver in the air. The lump of snow hit the thief fx hind the. ear and he instantly fell, believing he was shot, and remained perfectly quiet until lie was csotured. A WEDDlXU.3rARCU-OS' TUIM,.
