SEA
Steamer Volturno, Bound for Halifax from Rotter.
dam, Takes Fire on Voyage
:A despatch from London, Eng
, 1'a id, says : The Volturno, of the
Uranium Line, burning and help-
less in a raging Maid -Atlantic storm
i Last Thursday, sent .a wireless call.
over the sea and drew to her ten
ships that t came up in time to save
1121 of her 657 passengers.
The others, 136, were swallowed
by the ocean. when the •lifting waves
crushed four of the Volturno's life-
boats against the ship's side. For
more than twenty hours the ten
rescuing ships that had wheeled in
their courses when the S.O.S. pall
halted them in the storm cruised
around the Volturno, unable to
give aid because of the dangers of
;wind and waves.
The rescue ships reached the
++scene of the disaster in plenty of
time to save all, but for hours stood
by the blazing vessel, impotent be-
cause of the storm to reach the
agonized men, women and children
crowding the afterpart of the ship
and within a. stone's throw.
All night long Thursday the life-
boats made a desperate effort to
get alongside the Volturno, but the
waves beat them back again and
again, and not until the storm
abated at daylight Friday did the
rescuers succeed in removing the
survivors from the doomed :ship.
The Rescue Ships
were unable to lower lifeboats, and
apparently most of the boats
launched from. the Volturno were
smashed or upset and the occu-
pants drowned. Two of the boats,
crowded with passengers, were re-
ported to have got away from the
ship, but a search for them has
proved fruitless, and they have
practically been given up as lost.
The occupants of these boats are
included in the death roll.
The steamer Carmania, bound
from New York to Liverpool, was
78 miles away when the eall for
help sounded. Captain Barr, or-
dering full steam inspite of the
gale, drove through the seas at 20
knots an hour, and was first of the
fleet to reach the .burning vessel.
She was follow: by Le Touraine,
Minneapolis, Rappahannock, Czar,
Narragansett,- Devonian, Kroon
land, Grosser Kurguerst, and Seyd-
litz at various hoilrs throughout the
day. But try as they might, the
rescuing vessels could get neither
line nor Iifeboat to the Volturno,
the forward part of which was al-
most hidden by a dense cloud of
smoke when the Oarmania arrived.
The burning steamer lay in the
trough of the seas, pounding help-
lessly, with her propellers fouled
by the boat's tackle. The terrified
passengers were huddled together
as far as it was possible to get from
the flames, while throughout the
day the officers and crew fought
desperately with whatever appli-
ances were at hand to hold the fire
in check.
Explosion Ends All.
But night came on and the seas
abated slightly. The circle of
steamers kept their searchlights
playing, and waited patiently with-
in the danger zone for the first
moment when they might again
launch the lifeboats, The hope-
lessness of the situation was mani-
fested at 9 o'clock in the evening
when a great explosion tore away
a part of the upper works, and
flames burst from the engine room.
It then became a, matter of how
long the Volturno would stay above
the water.
Meanwhile several of the terri-
fied passengers, wrapped in life-
buoys, dropped over into the sea.
One of them was taken -aboard the
Carmania. It may be that others
found a haven with other vessels of
the fleet, but some undoubtedly
were swept away.
When day broke the Volturno
was still afloat. The gale had mod-
erated and the seas had calmed
down. From almost every one of
the encircling steamers lifeboats
were sent out, and into these the
women and children were lowered
first. Several trips were necessary
before the survivors were removed
to a place of safety,
Could have Saved AIL
Had it not been for the great
storm that made the launching of.
small boats a desperate venture, it
is likely that few, if any, of the
Volturnots passengers would have
been drowned, for the wireless
served again in time of need,, and
the ships that were passing on their
ordinary occasions sped up in time
to have picked up such small boats.
It appear.,$ that the Volturno was
sufficiently equipped, but no sea-
manship or Courage could overcome
the fury of the storm.
Six boats were dropped into the
sea ,shortly after an explosion for-
ward d had ki11 d severalcrew
o£ the c ew
and some of the immigrant passen-
gers and had .fired the forepart of
the steamship, Not one of these
boats were able to get away from
the ship's side. All were gripped
by the waves and hammered to
pieces against the .plates. Their
passengers drowned without a
chance for life. Thereafter Captain
Inch, of the Volturno, made efforts
to launch boats, but the seawas
too furious. He and his officers
were forced to turn all of their at-
tention to fighting the fire, which
was working slowly aft and driving
before it the ship's company of ter-
rified immigrants.
THE PANAMA CANAL.
Waters of Gatun Lake Flow Into
the Culebra Cut.
A despatch from Panama, says:
The Gamboa dyke, which separated
the north entrance of Culebra cut
from Gatun Lake, and the only re-
maining barrier to the flow of water
through the Panama Canal, was
blown up at 2.10 o'clock on Friday
afternoon by an electric current,
switched on by cable by President
Wilson, in his office at Washington.
The explosion threw 200 feet of the
centre of the dyke high into the air
in a, fan-like .mass of rock, earth
and water. The destruction of this
dyke permitted the waters of Gatun
Lake to flow freely into the Culebra
cut, which after nine years of the
greatest digging the world has ever
seen is now almost completed.
GALT'S POPULATION 1.1,932.
Increase of 806 for the Past Year -
Assessment Increased Also.
A despatch from Galt says: The
returns of the assessor, completed
on Friday, show that the popula-
tion of Galt is now practically 12,-
000, The official figures are 11,932,
an increase for the year of 806. This
is the largest addition ever made to
the population in one year: Ward
Five is the banner district, with an
increase of 321. The total assess-
ment is now $8,192,540, an increase
of $332,173. The need for more
houses is accentuated by the report
of the assessor that in some cases
three and four families are housed
under one roof.
A. FOOD DRINK
Which Brings Daily Enjoyment.
A lady doctor writes :
"Though busy hourly with my
own affairs, I will not deny myself
the pleasure of taking a few min-
utes to tell of my enjoyment daily
obtained from my morning cup :,f
Postum. It is a food beverage, not
an irritant like coffee.
"I began to use Postum 8 years
ago, not because I wanted to, but
because coffee, which I dearly
loved, made my°nights long, weary
periods to be dreaded and unfitted
me for business during the day."
Tea is just as injurious as coffee,
because the drug, caffeine, is found
in both tea and coffee.
"On advice of a friend, I first
tried Postum, making it carefully
as suggested on the package. As I
had always used "erewm and no
sugar," I mixed any Postum so. It
looked good, was clear and frag-
rant, and it was a pleasure to see
the eream',color it as my Kentucky
friend wanted her coffee to look -
'like a new saddle.'
"Then I tasted it critically, for
I had tried many `substitutes' for
coffee. I was pleased, yes, satis-
fied with my Postum in taste and
effect, and am yet, being a, constant
user of it all these years. I contin-
ually assure my friends and ac-
quaintances that they will like it in
place of coffee, and receive benefit
from its use.. I. hays..gained weight, .
can sleep and am not nervous."
Name given by Canadian Postum
Co,, Windsor, Ont. Write for the
little book, "The Road to Well-
ville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular , Postum-must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble pow-
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quick-,
ly in a cup of hot water and, with
cream and sugar, makes a delicious•
beverage instantly. Grocers sell
both kinds.
"There'e a reason" for Postum.

On Account of Strike One-third of
Population Is In Need of Food.
A despatch from London says:
Dublin is being ruined by the con-
tinuance of the transport war,
which is now in its fifth week. The
plight of the poorer section of the
population is dreadful, one hun
dred thousand men, women and
children, or one-third of the city's
whole population, being on the
verge of starvation. Rain fell
heavily in the city on Tuesday, in-
tensifying the misery of the strikers
and their wives and children, hud-
dled together for warmth. A crowd.
of girls and boys lined up at the
Liberty Hall, headquarters of the
Irish Transport Union, to receive
a dole of soup and bread, and then
sat down on the nearest doorsteps,
to nourish their wasted bodies. '1311e,.
food which has come in the teltiet
ships is the only thing which has
kept many families from actual
death by starvation, and any ces-
sation of these supplies would be
followed by indescribable misery.
.Ars it is, strangers are dogged by
child beggars, who implore the
price of a meal without hesitation
and without relaxation. Other
children, more fortunate than
these, are to be seen staggering
home through the driving rain with
sacks of potatoes and groceries
from the food ship stores, The de-
cision of the Miners' Federation to
contribute $5,000 a week is hailed
with pathetic joy by the strikers,
whose confidence that with English
support they will overcome their
employers has never been seriously
shaken.

CANCER IN GREAT BRITiIIN.
Distinct Relationship Between Dis-
ease and Dolnestie Coal.
A despatch from London says:
The conclusion'1 reached .by. Charles
E. Green, of Edinburgh, that there
is a distinct relationship between
the occurrence of cancer and the
kind of fuel used for domestic pur-
poses, was accepted as decisive by
Sir William Bennett, the eminent
surgeon, in his presidential ,address
on Thursday at the meeting of the
Coal Smoke Abatement Society.
Sir William said investigation had
shown that the increase of cancer
was limited to those areas where
coal was the staple fuel, while it
was almost non-existent where or-
dinary peat alone was used. The
only exception yet discovered to
this rule, he declared, was in dis-
tricts where the peat was a hard
black substance which crackled like
coal and was quite unlike the
smouldering, ordinary peat. Sir
William Bennett in conclusion
spoke strongly in favor of gas as a
substitute for coal.
