CRUSHED H M ICE Thrilling Experience on Board a Sealing Vessel HOW THE SHIP WENT DOWN Smashed In Amidships and Powerless to Escape She Was Swallowed In the Icy Deep The Wild Rush of the Crew to Escape on the Floe Constant peril menaces the hardy crews that fearlessly sail into the icy northern seas aud risk theii lives In the dangerous work of hunting the seal In Harpers Magazine tieorge Harding the author writes dramatic ally of the sinking of the ship on which he sailed with the Newfound land sealing HeeL His experience was uniquely perilous The ship was crushed like an egg In the Ice On the bridge were the captain and watch anxiously awaiting the chance to head the ship out of the moving Ice Into the stationary pack of which the big sheet was part The bowline lay on the barricade ready for heav ing when the crew should be ordered on the floe to haul the ships head round Aloft the spyman searched the gloom for signs of a hull In the confuted and tremendous waste Then ihere came a terrific crush The vessel caught In the trench be Iween the raftering sheets was pow erless to escape The smash of break ing timbers rose above The gale as a great corner of ice crushed the ves sels side amidships The captain and watch rushed to the engine room It was filled with steam the Inflowing water having already reached the ires A glance showed that nothing could stop the Inrush of water The firemen were retreating The first of them like a creature from another world coal becrrimed undershirt clad rearmed the Ice sheathed deck spreading panic in his path Above the hailing of questions and shouts that no man could understand came the voice of the skipper he knew the situation as no other man Men he shouted the ship ll go Pack your clothes save the grub Then it was confusion everywhere The crew poured up the hatchway hauling clothes boxes and bags crowd ing over the side colliding in midair as they half tumbled and half slid down the ropes then back for food Laboriously the heavy pork barrels were hauled by hand from the after hold where men bravely tolled Oth ers fought their wav aloft where the sails were stowed The canvas cut loose bellying out in the force of the gale was dropped to the deck Punts were slipped from the davits Some hitting the ice with a crash were stowed in Throughout It all the cap tain shouted Haul them punts and grub farther off Farther yet Farther The water rapidly rising drove the iuru iiuui iue iuwit umu i uev re treated to the deck Then the inflow level with the ocean ceased The ice for the time held the ship in its grip Second by second passed bringing no change In that brief interv each man suddenly thought to save the thing he most desired A wild rush was made to wheelhouse to cabin to the ships storeroom every man for himself a scullie to get the thing most coveted and escape to the ice With one it was a rifle from the ships ar mory to replace the antiquated muzzle loader at home with another the ships compass or the barometer with the after galley cook it was the cabin dishes In the cabin a crowd surced to the medicine chest scrambling for liniments and pills smashing anything that was an obstacle in their way Such was the scene when the cry arose on deck repeated by fifty men and echoing throughout the vessel Tis time to take to the ice Then a great rush to be clear of the doomed ship as the mass of men some empty handed others laden defending their spoil trom the unsuccessful plunged on to the ice The ship was sinking fast It was but a short leap for the last man from her deck to the loosening ice The men stood on the floe looking the slip over from the bow lifted high to the stern now below water A pity to lose the vessel they said Wonderful bard to lose the trip o fat Then came the final plunge The mainmast reaching over the floe broke as the weight of the vessel pulled It under The great anchors slidiug from the bow added to the tumult as every thing not frozen solid to the deck crashed into the house and galley For a second a flash of flame shot from the overturned stoves then nothing save a few seal pelts and broken oars lay on the surface of the troubled hole in the floe where the Grand Lake had dis appeared Parisian Amiability The mother-in-law question is as acute in Paris as in London but there are ladies who do not seem to be al ways at loggerheads with their daugh ters husbands According to a wit ness in court some sons-in-law are ex tremely tolerant fellows A lady was giving evidence as to the disposition of her daughters husband and as evi dence of his kindly nature she explain ed to the judge Ob M Ip President the young man is of the completest amiability Believe me he has been married to my daughter eighteen months and he has Dot once threat ened

Is a field a stick the ball it self and police protection for the um pire One advantage of the game as played professionally is that those sit ting In the grand stand can play the game a great deal better than the eighteen men on the diamond It is also true that any one of the specta tors even thouirh perched on a tele phone pole across the street or looking through a knothole In the fence be yond right field can Jud jre of the pitch ers skill or the runners tleetness much more intelligently than the ar biter who stands behind the battery The great merit of the game Is that the people can participate in it It is not like bridge whist Its science Is not synonymous with silence The thing to do is to take off your coat and root as long and as loudly as you can even if you dont know what is happening Philadelphia Ledger Taking It Out In Trade The proprietor of a certain Turkish bath establishment seeing a strong looking young man working in a butchers shop and being impressed by his magnificent muscles told him to resign and take a rubbers position with him Ill give you more than you are get ting now he said The young butcher resigning in good faith turned up the next morning at the bath house Well said the proprietor to him Ill put you on at once What did you get at the butchers Six dollars and my weeks meat returned the young man What did that amount to About 3 Well said the proprietor I of fered you more to come here didnt I Ill give you 5 in money and S4 worth of baths weekly That is a dollar more than you got at your old place Dutch Engagements A custom among the Dutch Is the exchanging of engagement rings which are narrow bands of plain gold with the initials of the betrothed and the day of the betrothal engraved on the inside They are worn on the left baud before and on the right after marriage Dutch engagements extend over a period of from two to five years During this time the young woman gives up all amusements in which her fiance does not participate If he is not of the dancing sort she refrains from that recreation however much she may desire to engage in it She never goes in company anywhere if he Is not present and when they go to

Point of Refinement HOME OF THE WATER DEATH A Worse Infliction Than That of Being Tied to a Besm by the Thumbs and Big Tees The Bastinado and Flog ging With Split Bamboo China Is a land of contradictions and mysteries It bristles with surprises The phlegmatic nature of Its natives Is In marked contrast to their Inherent cruelty What a poor weak looking baby you might say to a Chinaman about his offspring and he will merely shrug his shoulders In reply Meet him In a months time and ask him how the youngster Is getting on The disease was a fatal one he will answer with another significant shrug If the child were a girl you could safelv draw your own conclu sions us to Its fate John Chinaman has no use for deformed or very sick ly children particularly girls Torture of prisoners has been car ried to a point of refinement One of the most terrible was surely the cage In which a man was placed so that his head just protruded at the top while his toes only touched the ground suf ficiently to prevent dislocation of the neck His hands were hound behind him so that he could not relieve himself and he was left to be jeered at by the public until hunger aud exhaustion put an end to his sufferings The day of the bastinado too Is by no means over The prisoner is strung up In a reverse condition and the naked soles of his feet are pounded with a cane with the result that the victim seldom recovers Rut the more common form of flog ging Is to beat the thighs with the concave side of a split bamboo which cuts at every stroke Into the flesh China by the way was the home of that terrible death by water drops The victims head was placed on a low hard block aid drops of water at short intervals were allowed to fall from a height on to his forehead- a far far worse Infliction than that of being tied to a beam by the thumbs and big toes The caugue Is regarded ns a com paratively mild sort of punishment This consists of a wooden collar about four feet square and four Inches thick which is placed over the prisoners head so that its full weight falls on the shoulders A description of the offense Is also I attacned to tne victim s body and as he cannot feed himself he has to rely on the public for sustenance Conservative to a degree It Is not surprising to find that the wheelbar row us u passenger conveyance is still in vogue as too is the ferry consist simplest and most out of date descrip tion possible The rice is placed In a cement basin over which is a heavy stone at the end of a long lever This is worked up and down by two boards in the form of a cross attached to the axle of a huge hand turned wheel For simplicity of keeping a city in formed of the time Canton would be hard to beat In one of the temples are four large earthen jars on succes sive shelves Water descends by slow drops from one to the other a brass settle on a Boat In the bottom one indicating us it rises the hour of the day At 5 oclock every afternoon the low est jar is emptied and the upper one refilled On the outside wails of the city are displayed boards with the number of the hour on them so that all may see And this has gone on without a break since 1321 ZZT
