Exeter Advocate, 1906-6-14, Page 7• THE PROPER TEST Living Religion Should Rule All Our 'Action The dead praise not the Lord.—Psainas tx.v. 17. How many of us censider ourselves rengious, although ours may be but 9. ctagnant, kind of religion, stirred mice a 'week at. public worship? A transient wave of emotionalism arouses us from our apathy, and then our religion loses hie and movement again for ancithei., Week, to prove at last as useless as a noxious swamp lit not by stars but by fireflies,' and within whose bounds no- thing sweet or inspiring can endure, Such dead souls and characters cannot praise the Lord. Some of us, however, make our reli- gion a living factor, which finds not its Sole satisfaction in formal worship, but demands the translation of that religion into life as well, so that in our daily work we may show its influence as a motive force !or good, Can tenet be said .of such people that their life is a reli. gion and their religion is life—not merely a prayer, a ceremony, a bending of the Imes, a folding of 'the hands, taut a radiant, useful, consistent life, a bless- ing to God and man? THEY TRULY PRAISE THE LORD. For that, after all, is the test of our religion. Does it impel us to right thought and action and help us to rea- lize the highest ideals of manhood and womanhood? Does it make our charac- ter firm and genuine and mould into harmonious growth the hidden powers oof our inmost soul? All else is largely .sentimentalism, upon whieh no edifice ^can be securely built. Religion must not be limited to our relations to the Almighty, but et con- cerns as *vitally our relations to Our neighbor. Does it enter our heath and Make it more helpful and loving? Does il.e.nter 'the shop, the office, the mill, the market, and promote juetice tend Mercy between debtor and creditor, employer and employe, the humblest wage-earner and the lordliest proprietor? Does it aid in banishing trickery, dishonestY, graft? Does it help in enforcing right- equsness as a vital element in society? If men and women wotild regard re- ligion as a living force extending over thee whole range of individual activity in every relation there would be nothing visionary in such a readjustment of con- ditions as would make the atmosphere of business as fragrant as the atmos- phere of worship. Dia not the monk who wrote that "TO WORK WAS TO PRAY" suggeet the idea.1 side of our daily call- ing? There is something inspiring in a live tng religion that appeals for breadth and symmetry, not narrowness and one-sided growth, which makes the church doors swing outward and sees through the synagogue window a wider stretch of sky, which views all life as its altar and every field of human effort the seed ground for highest endeavor. How the world would sweep exaltingly into the newer day with such religion exempli- fied and earth be made the heaven of heavens, as justice, mercy and peace abide forever with men. Make your religion, then, a living one. Be satisfied with no other. Let your re- ligion have the genuine stamp. Trans- late your creed with your life. low rimfot000ff***11 HOME. * :******vomxfof SAVORY SOUPS. Scotch Mutton Broth.—Tveo quarts ol water, neck of mutton, four or five car- rots, four or five turnips, three onions, /our largo spoonfuls of Scotch barley, salt to taste, some chopped parsley. Soak the neck of mutton in water for .an hour, cut off the scraps, and put it into a stew pot with two quarts of water. As soon as it boils skim it well and theti simmer it an hour and a telt; then take the best end of the mut- ton, cut it into pieces two bones in each), take some of the fat off, and put he as many as you think proper. Skim ihe moment the fresh meat boils up and every quarter of an hour afterwards. Have ready the carrots, turnips, and orn nnione all cut, but not small, and put in soon enough to get quite tender; add the Scotch barley, first wetting with cold water. The meat should stew three hours. Salt to taste and serve all to- gether. Twenty minutes before serving put in one spoonful of chopped per- sley. It is an excellent winter dish. Soup a la Dauphine.—Six pounds, of lean beef, four carrots, two turnips, four 'onions, one head of celery, four ounces lean ham, pepper and salt, a little soy, two bay leaves, a bunch of herbs, a few allspice, two blades of mace, five quarts •of water. Cut up the onions, carrots, turnips, and celery into small pieces and lay in the bottom of a large stew pan; cut up the six pounds of lean beef and lay on top of the vegetables, sprinkle a little salt over it, and cook ever the fire (taking care it • does not turn) for tevo hours; add five quarts of -water, and bring it to a boil; take off the fat and scum, add a little more cold amine, and throw in three blades of mace, two bay leaves, a bunch of terbs, four ounces lean barn cut up fine, and a few allspice, color a light brown with a little soy, and simmer for five hours, and then strain through a fine eleth, and with a sheet of paper take eff any floating fat; hail again, and be- fore serving throw into the soup some green tanagon leaves and a little cher- vil. Celery Soup With Whipped Cream— Thewhite part of three heads of celery, ano-half pound of rioe, ona onion, one .quart, of stock, two quarts of milk, pep- per and salt, and a little roux. Cut up the celery and onions small, boil them in the stock until tender, add the milk and rice, and boil together un- til a pulp, add pepper and salt and a l'ttle roux, strain through a fine hair sieve or a metal strainer, and boil a few minutes, takinr; care it does not burn. Serve in bouillon cups with whipped cream heaped on each. Potato Soup. --Two pounds Of pota- toes, a pinch of celery. seed, a sprig of parsley, two (marts white stock, pepper and salt to taste. 13o11 or steam the . potatoes dry. mash them finely with a fork, and add them gradually to the boiling stock . Pass through a sieve, add the seasoning, and simmer five minutes, adding one ounce of butter anti one-half pint of milk. Serve N,vith crou- tons of bread. Corn Soup.—One can green corn, one entail of milk, flour, butter, one egg. Put corn in saucepan wiih two quarts of writer; let it cook gently one-half hour, then put where it will cook more rapid- ly When the corn is tender put in one pint of milk and season to taste. not it hoil up, then add two tablespoonNis of flour mixed with three of better.

Weida are helpful in solving the problem of gelling a sufficient number or dishes for the light breakfast, as there is almost an unlimited variety. Te be euccesSful the pan should he demi and Moth, they, must be eaten iminediately, the omelet, must be small, tom: cep being better than six, and the cggs must be beaten too much, Plain Omelet—Beat the yolks of four eggs, add- out tablespoonfuls 01 Watch with the two ends tie a double nriot W- ore cutting them off close to the Stiteln ng. Ostrich feathers Must be sewa on very securely, in the first plane mama he quill, at the point where the fen: there terenthate, and a dozen tUrne 0E cotton, at least, being necessary, When it is wished to keep the plames in the required position round the crown or allow them to droop over the side, four strands of eotton should be passed and knotted over the quill about the middle of the plume where the feathers are closest. Instead of pulling the ootton taut it should be left loose'so that the plumes not dragged or bent in ailY evay, but, all the same, is prevented from becoming untidy on a windy day or vvben driving. After trimming a. hat— whether with feathers or flowers—it is cften recommended to try the effect of the wind by holding it out of the window Amateur millinerial triumphs should not be fine weather trophies, but should be sewn sufficiently secure to stand any strength of wind or weather. THE S'UNDAY SCHOOL first mixing one-half teaspoonful of Cour in a half tablespoonful of the water; put in one-half teasponful of salt and a dash of pepper, then gently fold in the beaten whites. Drop one-half tablspoonful of butter into a. hot fry- ing pan, tipping so that the sides and bottom will be thoroughly covered. Turn in the omelet quickly, and when the centre looks dry run a knife around the edge. then under the half nearest the handle and fold over. Slide carefully on to a warm platter and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately. Ham Omelet—To the yolks of four eggs add four tablespoonfuls of water, a small teacupful of finely chopped ham, and a few sprigs of parsley, and beat vigorously. Beat whites stiff and gent- ly stir them into the mixture. Have a tablespoonful of butter treated in a spider, pour in the omelet, and stir with a fork till it becomes quite thick. Cook five minutes over a brisk fire, fold and serve garnished with parsley. The E,stheiic Side—Garnishing should never interefere with carving or serv- ing, and should at least have an ap- pearance of being simple if not so in fact. Parsley and watercress are the most practical garnishes, for they look well with almost any dish. If parsley is not obtainable fine celery tips may be used. Fried Parsley.—Use fresh, curled, dry parsley; have a dish of fat hot enough to brown a piece of bread in a minute. Put the parsley into a frying basket, then drop the basket into hot fat; let it remain half a minute, then lay on coarse brown paper till wanted for gar- nishing. Eggs are used either hard boiled or sliced, or the hard boiled yolks may be grated and sprinkled over or around a dish; the grated yolks are effective on spinach. Lemons are used more for fish than meats, 'such as fried oysters and lob- ster cutlets. They are cut in quarter3 and a portion served on the plate of each person. Paper frills for decorating broiled chops are made by folding and fringing thin letter paper, then wrapping around the end of the chop to keep the grease from coming through. ' Boiled carrots and beets, sliced with vegetable cutters into fancy shapes, are nice for cold meats, and have a pretty effect around a white entree. FOR THE WOULD-BE MILLINER. The art, of Making successful millin- ery bows is not to be learned in a mo- ment, and the amateur "chou" or bow of ribbon is likely to lack the deft touch which practice, in addition to natural aptitude, alone can give it. In accord- ance with present fashions, the bows which are used to trim the crowns of the bats are 'upstanding, but must be soft, and carelessly posed. When the ribbon is sufeciently stiff, wiring should be dispensed with, but in case of the soft satin and washing ribbons, ome support is necessary and evire—fine and pliable—has to be pressed into service: One of the newest bows of the mo- ment is that feshioned of ten loops, re- gardless et any end. This bow, to be explicit, is, in reality, formed of four large and six short loops, divided in the certtre by a single twist, of ribbon, the loops being made to stand out some- what stiffly, the taller ones grouped in tile centre. Another favorite ribbon arrangement,i5 MO butterfly bow, composed of two loops and one end of broad 'sash rib- bon caught in the centre with ne flat buckle. Some of the newest of these buckles are frequently made of wire, covered with chenille and an intrelac- beg of rosebuds or other flowers, a strikingly pretty millinerial accessory which can easily be manufactured at home. The new French sailors, with their ex- aggerated forward "tilt," require a high upward bow at the side, the loops being web wired, so that the bow May ASSnino the correct shape. This how Is usual - le made solely of loops, Somewhat at - ler ihn elele of a growing lettuce. each loop s'e elven a tuen—inside out—af- ter Um hew is mode.

The Transfiiruration Golden Text: Luke 9, 35. THE LESSON WORD STUDIES. Note.—The text of the Revised Version is used as a basis for these Word Studies. In Retirement with his Disciples—The events of to -days lesson like those of the last belong to the third period of the Galilean ministry, during the second northern journey. In the sparsely set- tled regions near the foot of Mount Her- mon and not far from Caesarea Philippi Jesus at last found the long -sought, place where he might for a short time at least be alone with his disciples. Here it was, then, that he revealed himself more fully unto the twelve. And here doubt- less he instructed them concerning many, things not recorded in our Gospel nar- ratives. Tradition fixes the site of the transfiguration on Mount Tabor, a comparatively low mountain, regular in outline, about six miles from Nazareth on the north-eastern boundary of the Plain of Esdraelon. But Mount Tabor at this time was fortified on its summit, and being only thirteen hundred feet higher than the surrounding plain, with no projecting points, it hardly offered the seclusion necessary for such a reve- lation. Moreover, Jesus when last mentioned, was in the vicinity of Cresarea Philippi, near Mount Hermon, where, in all probability, he had re- mained with his disciples during the intervening period. Mount Hermon was more than nine thousand feet high, with many protuding spurs and lower foothills. On one of these spurs of Mount Hermon, therefore, we are in all probability to think of the transfigura- tion as having occurred. SEA WAIFS LONG TRIPS Dimmers THAI' CRUISE FOR 1110USANDS Or MILES.

It, is not unreascautble to conclude vthaantisitihredotlinghFselblerutlarye,ause1893, with 72 the NarOnie 'SOUIS; the Georgia passed from human ken in March, D1897, with 54; the Hu- ronian was blotted oft the ocean in February, 1903, with 49, or that a score •of tramp freighters •were sent to the bcttom in, the last fifteen years. Special interest attaches to the Dun- more because hers is one of the com- paratively rare instances where a metal derelict has remained above water any length of time after being abandoned, and because, moreover, she lies in the Meer track and is thereby a more serious danger to transatlantic shiping than any other tenantless shell of mod- ern times. Usually when a steel or iron craft is enandoned she is ON THE POINT OF SINKING. Verse 28. About eight date' after— Matthew and Mark each have the words "after six days." Both phrases are ap- proximate expressions, meaning about a week. The time from which the evangelists are reckoning is the time of the retirement of Jesus into the vicinity of Ccasarea Philippi, mentioned in the last lesson. Peter, and John, and James—Repre- seittative men and leaders of the apos- tolic group. Together they form a sort of inner circle or sub-commatee of the apostles. 29. Was altered—Matthew and Mark use the term "transfigured." Luke's word gives us more nearly the literal meaning. 30. Who were Moses and Elijah— Apparently the three disciples recog- nized the two heavenly visitors. It is not, however, necessary to assume that they did from the wording of the narra- tive, since it is quite possible that the identity of the men was revealed to the disciples by Jesus. 31. Appeared in glory—,Similar to that which Jesus assumed. a/ Decease—Lit. departure; Le, his death and departure from this world. Which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem — The conversation between Jesus and Mases and Elijah was thus about his impending suffering and death, and doubtless concerning the significance of that suffering and death to himself and to the world. $2. Were heavy with sleep—Iesus had been praying, possibly by himself, a little apart from the disciples, as later he did in Gethsemane. During this tirne the waiting disciples had become drowsy, even as on that other yet more solemn occasion in the garden. When they were fully awake—Ap- parently they were aroused from their sleepiness by the vision of the trans- flgueed Christ before them. Saw his glory—It is to this event, in part, no doubt, that John refers in tbe first chapter of his gospel in the words "And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father (Sohn 1. 14)." 33. As they were parting from him— Their intention to depart became' evi- dent to the disciples, whereupon Peter interposed with his suggestion to build three tabernacles or booths, 34. They feared as they entered into the cloud—An .explanatory remark given by Luke only. 35. My son, my chosen—Or, as many ancient authorities read, My beloved Seen. (Comp, Matt. 17, 5; Mark 9. M. 36.

Her crew were taken off and she was left adrift, remaining above water for three months, being sighted by more than twenty passing steamers thus far. The complaints of owners of • other ships spurred the British admiralty to action and they ordered cruisers from Bermuda to proceed in quest of her, while the underwriters had the Adven- ture sent out from this port on a simi- lar quest, to tow her to port. The Ad- venture failed to locate her, not possess- ing wireless telegraphy, and, therefore, being unable to learn where the wreck was last seen, and the two cruisers scoured the ocean for a long while in the endeavor to bring her aimless voy- age to an end. The most common derelicts ere lum- ber -carrying vessels of wooden build and moderate size which meet bad weather, become dismantled, and hav- ing no steam power are helpless waifs in the Atlantic fairway, sometimes drifting about for months, if not for years, because their buoyant cargoes will not let them sink. One of these, the Alma Cummings, an American schooner from Boston, made a record voyage of 54 days, during which she covered 5,000 miles, and was sighted over 50 times. She was caught in a blizzard off Cape May in Febru- ary, 1896, and her masts and rigging were carried overboard, the jagged stumps of the spars battering her sides apart. The seas swept everything overboard, flooded her hull and cabin, drenched her food stuffs with brie and termed a coating over the deck three fet thick. The wretched crew, tho matches being all soaked, could not make a fire to warm themselves until they fired a rifle into a can of kerosene or that set the tinli on fire, and the blaze attracted the steamer Queens - more, which rescued the crew, tile idea being that she would burn so that the seas would EASILY TEAR HER APART. But the wood of the cargo was too wet„ the fire failed and she started on het long voyage around the Atlantic. At various times she was seen, till she nearly reached England; then she drove south past the French coast; next she was sighted off the Azores; late sr she appeared near the Equator and, finally, after eighteen months she drifn ed ashore at San Bias Island,near Colon, Panama Isthmus. During her amazing cruise at least six ships tried to :set fire to her, but without avail and though she was burned to the water's edge, she remained afloat. A derelict lumber carrier with an al- most equally curious record was the Denude Wolston, which was afloat for 1,407 days and covered more than 9,000 miles but her voyage which was apparent- ly much longer titan that of the Cum- mings, was really not so, because she spent much of her time crossing and recrossing her own tracks, moving around in circles about 200 miles off the Atlantic .coast, being sighted by no few- er than 46 ships during her aimless wan derin gs. Her rimge wee from the Delaware cepes south to the lonely Sargossa Sea, iter swinging round this circle occupy - log about tevo years. She then went back and forth through this ghostly re. cion, and next started north for Florida, �r which coast she was sighted 23 times by other vessels. She then made two more circles and then, went north, be- ing about 600 miles off Cape Cod when last sighted. It is supposed she went down, probably by being struck by an- other veseel, as she wes never seen again. The Norwegian 'bargeRirgette of Grimstad, while bound from Mobile to Queenetown with pitch pine, was aban- doned, with all soils standing; but her towsprit gone and her hull leaky. On February 17, 189e, her crew were taken off by the British steamer Snowflake near the Irish coast, arid for four months she drifted to and fro across the tracks of the Atlantic paSsenget liners. She was sighted no lees than te times and the British admiralty sent, out a war- ship evlikle found her and TOWED HER TO LAND, This process was alse adOpted by the. French adMiratty with regard to the British brig Hyaline, which teed trayen led 3,500 Miles and been adrift 411 done, reing sighted nineteen times before se got near enough to the coast a Franco to enable a warship to secure her. She had been several nines set afire, but refused to burn, end she was merely a hulk when secured. These oases refer to crafts which are tenantless on the ocean, but there are as many instances on record of waifs which retain their crews. Perhaps the most remarkable of all Uwe was the shy sail clipper T. V, Oekee, the first American iron square rigger ever launched. She enjoyed the distinetion of being one of the very few vessels ever posted at Lloyds as missing and subsequently showing up, She left Hong Kong on July 4, 1896, for New York, for vichith vayage her usual time was but 120 days, She was out more than 250 days, and not reinsurable, her agents hiving given her up as lost, and the relatives of her master, Captain E. W. Reed and his wife, who was on board with him, had gone into mourning. 'I hen on the 260t1t day, March 22, 1897, she was breught up in New York, having been towed in by the oil tank steamer Ieasbek, which came upon her 300 miles east of Sandy Hook, the steamer being outward bound from Phil- adelphia.. In .trying to take her in tow the haw- ser caught in the steamer' e screw and Jammed it, rendering her helpless. The Oakes wee equally helpless, her crew being stricken down by scurvy, and the two ships barely escaped a collision, there being only a beans length between them when the wind drove them apart. The steamer was helpless for eight hours, during which period the Oaleee was driven out of sight by a storm. The Kasbek's engineer had to „force out her shaft by means of wooden plugs. The hawser was worked clear of the propel- ler and then the steamer started off in quest of the Oakes, sighting her again some hours later in a worse storm, which lasted for two days, during which time it was impossible to send a boat te her, but the steamer lay by her till the weather abated and then took the effective steps to succor the crew itnd get the craft under control. ft was found that everybody on toard the Oakes was afflicted with scurvy, of which five seamen had died, itiekteHlrekeinlreirtHeiletdried Fashion Hints*. *444-1+14+44+1-144+4444* FASHION NOTES.

These and long scarfs in chiffon, =Pe de chine, Japanese silk, and net both in black and ere= with all SOrtg, of de, °ovation, such as embroidery, trickle ruf- fles; Lec., are the latest thing. A new shoulder cape is shown among the latest walking and carriage suits. Althougle it is considered new it is only a revival of the well known shoulder cape of the sixties. It Is wade of the same material as th,e dress and the OnlY, change observable is in tha cut of the neck, which is very low, exposing the bodice top. The bolero still remains the leading novelty of the season and grows in fa- vor. It comes in fine linen and baby Ire ish nue combinations and in lawns trinimed with valenciennes and baby Ire ish lace or renaissance. There has aris- en lately, so popular has the bolero or bridge jacket become, a heavy „linen ea duck affair, a tailored variety with a. little patch pocket on the left side em- bellished with an embroidered mongram. The latest news from the fashion centres in Europe indicates the vogue of dark colors in women's tailor made suits and costumes next fall. Accord- ing to this authority a very dark blue crow's, wing, dark prune, the deepest w ine shades and black will be the lead- iog colors. Gray will continue it:, be popular, but will be in much darker shades and in gun metal tones. Novelty, fabrics show coin spots or polka dots. All black costumes will be extremely, fashionable, as a contrast to the alt white of the summer reign. In separate outer garments or wraps long loose black silk coats and eton or bolero jackets share in popularity. The pony coat, a jaunty and attractive garment, is used among the models foe street suits of wool and silk, but the bolero is the acknowledged of the sea- son. In Paris one of the most chic cos- tumes is said to be a skirt, of the dark, est wool plaids, sueb as blue and green, with a one tone coat of cloth or silk. America has never affected plaids to any great extent and it is not probable that this particular combination will find any great popularity. . In silk shirts accordion plaiting is Universally seen. They are made ill checked and plain taffetas and messa- lines. Some of the manufacturers of ready made garments exhibit princess gowns with accordion plaited skirts, and the corselet skirt licilds a leading position. The latest models in the late ter style have the,corselet el a moder- ate depth, out down at the middle front and rising higher at the sides and back, thus fitting the figure to greater ad- vantage than those of the earliest mod- els shown. Pekin stripes in mousselines and silks in all the leading colors combined with white, and black and white striped silks trimmed with narrow black velvet rib- bon are the materials used. by eome of the best importers and manufacturers at costumes. Blouses of fine lingerie or net and boleros go with the corselet skirt,. For 1906-07 lightness in weight, soft- ness of texture and many novelty, weaves characterize the principal neve goods. Panamas, twills, batistes and sages, as weal as chiffon broaclolothe are in demand. Heavy rough mo.nnisti goods have departed. Feminity has come once more into ifs own. Never have more beautiful geode been shown. The softest, lightest weight broadcloths, prunellas, medium and light weight poplins are all in the new- est samples. Ombro plaids in dark tones and • suitings in narrow stripes and small checks are seen for street wear in autumn colorings. Grays evill be quite as popular for early fall as they have been for spring, although in some- what darker tones. Mohairs Snit' to be coming back into favor. All kinds of velvet ribbons in tlie leading shades will also be in active de- mand, but black leads. 11 18 expected to he largely used as trimmings and in nittlinery. In plain silk ribbons heavier weaves of taffeta and faille in wide numbers are very active. At present white is very brisk, running up to sash ribbon width. Advance business shows that dresden and warp prints will be large- ly favored for fall consumption. Ribbons which have been extensively used in millinery this spring promise to be also used on dresses apd summer wraps in the shape of ruching's, frills and plaitings in narrow widths. They also will be employed in deep corselet belts, and in sante cases entire waist- coats will be made of them. These waistcoats will be worn witli tailor suits of plain materials; also those made ef warp, printed or oriental de- signs with black satii edges will gd with white pique or plain black costumes SAVE THE CAPTAIN'S Viellet,, upon whom, through sheer pressure of necessity, much of the labor of working the ship fell. The second and third mates were unable to go aloft. The Chinese steward was also incapable of sailor tasks. Twelve seamen lay in their berths helpless. The captain had teen stricken with paralysis. In the China Sea two typhoons drove the ship out of her course, and, though intending to round the Cape of Good Hope, she had to make for Cape Horn. Another remarkable case was that of the steamer Perthshire, off the Austral- ian coast in 1899, which drifted about for 45 days helplessly, covering 1,400 miles before being rescued. On Aprtl e6th she left Sydney for Bluff Head, a four-day voyage. On May 26111 a schooner put into Sydney reporting4hat she had sighted the missing steamer two weeks previously, when the Perth- shire had been adrift ten days without sighting a sail, her propeller being broken clean off in the thilshaft and her spread of canvas being too limited toegive her even steering way. As site had nearly 70 persons aboard and was drifting north toward some evil reefs, every available craft was sent in quest of her, including two war- ships, several liners and a flotilla of tugs. Eventually, the steamer Tolune came upon her before daylight on June 13111, some 750 miles off her course, the Perthshire being described just an hour before the Tolune's captain had deter- mined to abandon the search. A tow line was passed and for 36 hours the Tolune got her along. Then a heavy sea tore them apart and to get them coupled again rockets, witii lines at- tached, had to be fired from one ship to the other. Another almost incredible story of a derelict is that of the woden bark Sid - derelict is that of the wooden bark Sid- ary 16, 1899, lumber laden, for Liver- pool, and became dismasted in a gale, a heavy sea then drenching her from stem to stern, destroying all the pro- visions and carrying away the galley. For twenty days her crew of twelve subsisted ON RAW POTATOES. The captain had his forehead laid open and one eye blinded by a blow frora a stanchion; the boatswain had an arm broken, the chief mate and two sea- men were stricken with serious illness due to their weakened condition, and as day succeeded day without prospect oI rescue despair settled upon all. Two steamers passed without sight- ing her, and and then the Norwegian bark Verdande 'came by and took them cff. For nearly five months after this the derelict drifted helplessly about the ocean, covering more than 1,800 miles, and being reported no fewer than 41 times. The captain of the steamer Oak - more set her on fire in hope of ridding the seas of such a menace, but the fire failed to destroy leer. Ultimately, after a chorus of complaints from steamship captains as to her obstructing the liner track 300 miles off the Irish coast„ H. M. S. Melampus was sent out and se- cured her, towing her into Bantry Bay, nhere she was subsequently used as a °Oat hulk.
