his life, leaving his wife on her way,
to a strange land. without friends and
destitute. The couple were emmi•+..t:..-
steerage passengers and w1.0- intend-

tickets to that, ,dace and twenty pounds
sterlire, me husband carrying these In
an inner pocket of his jacket. On the
evening of the first day out Alford left
his wife to go for a• stroll along tete
deck. She never saw bun again. The
ship was running in a dense fog. and
In some unexplained way he fell over-
board. Several hours later the agonized
wife, aided to the uhnnsl by the oM-
cers, were searching the strip for Al-
ford, but in vain. Two little boy.,
among the steerage passengers told n

pathetic interest was displayed by the
other passengers on board. A collec-
tion was made up among them to en-
able the bereaved wife to either return
to her friends In England or to aid her
to start the battle of life in Canada,
and the proceeds netted 34 pounds.
