AT SEA IX A YAWL About fifty miles nbove Siilney, Australia, an Engli.sh geutleiimn nameil Hone, a retired civil ollicor, liml a fiuo place directly on tbo sea. This was twenty-live years ajro, and tha place mny have fmsscd through half a dozen hands since, Tt was a villa or country seat and farm combined. Howo was rich, but he raised fruits, vtotables, hay and wool to sell, nnd be was jirt owner in a brig which called in at intervals to carry our stuff away. On my first voyage in viitli this liriir tho gentle man took a fancy to me and hired me to work ashore, and 1 had lieen with him three years when tlio distressing incident 1 am atiout to relate came about. Howe owned a pleasure yacht, but as he feared the sea she was seldom tid. "When she wout out I hud charge o( her and could run bur very nicely with the help of a boy. Ve also bad several rovi-boats, and there was . scarcely a pleasant evening that I did not row some of the family out. There was a flue bay in front of the farm, and unless the weather was very boisterous this water was always snfo. On the evening of Dec. 10, 1SC5, the brig camo into the bay to loadwhh cargo, nnd she anchored almost opjxwite the house. She bad a lino new yuwl, in which the captiiiu came ashore, nnd it appeared that Howe and the women folks wero greatly taken with it. Early next morning I was told to get this yawl newly for a sail down the bay to a small isl.'tnd, where a picnic dinner was to tie eaten. The party, when ready to start, con sisted of Howe, his wife, and an 18-year-old daughter named Bessie, a miss of Vi named Ransouie, who was on a visit, and little Ben Howe, who was only 5 years oliL Two ludies from the next farm above were to have gone with us, but a merciful Trovidence detained them at home. It was touch and go whether we should make the trip without them, but it was decided to go iu order not to disap point tho young folks. 1 had iilled tho water keg and taken a big lunch basket alioard, and wheu we moved away there was just breeze enough to till the sail and jog us along about three miles an hour. A more perfect morning I never saw, and the oldest sailor could not have suspicioned a cbnnga. W'c reached the island all right, remained there until :.' o'clock p. m., and then started for home. At nloiit 1 o'clock the sky hazed up end the wind died almost away, and as the title would begin to run out at 2 I became somewhat unxious. My sailor experience warned me that there would be a change of wind and weather, and I was impatient to get away. One triflo and another detained us until the hour named. The people enjoyed themselves immensely, and it was not for me to say w hen we should start, although I did throw out a hint Or two that I suspected a cbauge of weather. All were in good spirits when we finally got away, and as the yawl was a good sailer sho crept nlong at a fair sjieed until the wind suddenly fell as flat as you pleased. We were then opposite the ocean inlet, which was a mile broad, and we began to drift out with tho tide. I had a pair of ours iu tho lioat, and Mr. Howe took one and t the other, nnd we pulled away to cross the space. As ho was not a strone man. and bad had no practice in rowiug, we made no gain, and, to make matters worse, ho lost bisoar overliourd and it was swept away. We were three miles from the brig, and I was getting ready to hoist a signal when the sky darkonitl up with a sort of fog, shutting us in, and the wind breezed up directly off snore, uuu it not reen ror the strong tide I could hnvo beat back into tho bay, even in the fog, but I was soon coiutieHed to tell Mr. Howe that wo were being drifted and driven out to sea. 1 he news at once uu nerved him, and his words and demeanor all the others who began wailing and lamenting. Little Bon was an exceptiou. lie was not only too young to understand the daugcr, but he en joyed the novelty of the situation. He crept nacK to tne stern sheets, stood between my knees to steady himself, nnd whispered: 'I slm'n't cry, Jack. Only I wish my dog was here !" After we hail driven over the bar, which alvgays forms at every iulet, the breeze fresh ened still moro, and I had to run off before it, although I double reefed the sail. Had I attempted to lieat back to tho coast line I should have got amoug tho rocks and reefs which lined it for miles and miles. There was room in the inlet to beat up against the tide, but it was now so dark that I could hardly see tho bow of the bout, and I hnd no compass anil could have run only by danger ous guesswork. Iu heading dead out to sea I expected nothing worse than to have to pass the night on tho wuter. By morning, at least, tho brig would know that we had met with a piece of ill luck, nnd would stand out to pick us up. And, too, tho wind might go down with the sun or veer .to a favorable quarter. Therefore, while Mr. Howe cursed his foolishness In ever stooping foot into the yawl, and while the women cowered and wept, I was encouraged to hope that every thing might turn out for tbo best. At 5 o'clock by my watch, tho face of which I could hardly see through the gloom, the wind was blowing a topsail breeze and the sea getting a nasty roll. Every one but my self became seasick and fell to tho bottom of the boat, and for the next three hours I heard nothing but cries anil groans of distress. Tho real darkness bad como now, and I conld not see half the length of the boat. I hold her steady as she went, and was gratified to find that she mado good work of it and did not have to lie watched as closely as a larger boat might. It was about !) o'clock wbou Mr. Howe roused np and crawled aft to me. He was in despair, but calmer than before. I made light of the adventure, predicting that we would lie back at the farm before noon next day, anil calling his attention to the splendid behavior of the boat, and after a little he seemed to have hopes. I suggested that we have a bite to eat, and he got the hamper or provisions. It contained wine, cake, crncl ei-s. cheese and meats, and also two randies, which hail been taken along to explore a cave said to be located on the Isl and, but which wo did not find. We got a light, roused up the others, and after wo had broken our fast all felt more cheerful. Hail the women been of the common sort I should have known what to say to brace them up, but they were aristocrats, tender as spruig Uowers, and a bit of hardship was cal culated to upset 'em. I made an attempt to belitt le the situation, nnd declared that it was nothing but nn unpleasant adventure, and after a bit they all got some courage and be gan to be more hopeful What worried me the most was the fact that tho wiud kept get ting up stronger and stronger, and by 11 o'clock the yawl was humming through the yeast like a man-of-war in a gale. I knew we were going out into the Indian ocean at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, and that If the wind held as it was we'd be at least a hun dred miles off the shore by sunrise. If it got up much stronger I'd have to bring the yawl about head on, no matter what the risk, for she was uow rolling gunwale dowu and only just keeping ulin.-ul of tho rollers. I got the women folks to lie down in the bottom of the boat, and then hud Mr. Howe pass me the single oar, a piece of board which little Ben Uad put in, a bit of two by four scantling I Wtch was under a thwartand a water pall. While stQl holding tba yawl dead before the wind I tied these together for a drag, told Mr. Howe to attach them to the boat painter, and by midnight was ready to bring her bead on. It was time. The wind was now blowing hall a gale, and there was danger that a lol lowing sea might break aboard and fill us. did not tell bim what I proposed to do, fear ing ce would become nervous and rattle me, but I quietly waited for the right moment. sent him to the bow to throw Out the drae, and when I hauled sheet and put the tiller over I could feel my heart in my throat. She hung for a moment, and every soul aboard screamed out In terror, but the crisis passed, andas she settled into a hollow she was head to the gale, and the drag was holding her thus. I then explained to the people that nothing more could be done, and that they might as well lie down. When they were down 1 got out an old ou cloth and covered them from the flying spray as much as possi ble, and then took my seat amidships to use the bailer. 1 did not rest over five minutes at a time from midnight to daylight, and when day finally broke and I looked about me, my heart was like lead. The gale still held off shore, with no sign that it might change or abate, and the ocean around me was a boiling caldron. The yawl was riding like a cork, however, and the only water taken in came from the wave crests broken (iff and hurled at us by the wind. When the people finally crawled out I hardly knew thorn. All wore pale, hollow eyed and de spairing, while Mr. Howe had a look uiion his face which made me stare at him. It was a look of mortal foar and desperation, and realized that his miud was going. The poor women didn't seem to notice it, having so much trouble of their own, but little Ben did, and he crept over to me and whispered. f .. . . "i icaso, oacic, out you won t let papa touch me, will youf 1 began to call out in a cheerful voice that the gale was irltating, and that we were all right, but Howe only looked at me in a cun ning, crafty way, as if bo meditated some trick. I got out the provisions, roused up the women, and forced them to sip the wine and eat a little. 1 ho gentleman refused topar- tako witn us, and by and by tho women began to notice his strange actious. This brought about a climax. I saw him looking steadfastly at bis wife, and I carefully moved nearer to her. One of the girls changed he position further aft, fearing that a struggle was about to take place, and I turned and extended my hand to steady her. As I die so Howe uttered a sort of scream, sprang upon ana seizes nis wile, and, though clutched her skirts, the fabric tore, aud both went overlxmrd and out of sight in an in stunt. Neither one rose to the surface, or, i they did, they were far bevond reach. The sudden and awful tragedy deeply affected us all, and the girls Huug themselves dowu and could not be roused up again until afternoon Ben didu t realize it so deeply, but it was like a dagger at my heart to see him sittiug with closed eyes and white face, and his hps fram ing the w..'-tls of the lxrd s prayer now and then. ai uoon mo winu auu sea Derail to iro down anil the sky to clear up. The gale hud blown itself out, and I now considered it onl v a question of time wheu we should sight the coast, lhe better state of affairs brouirh new life to the girls, and I was glad to have tliem rouse up and show some signs of life. A rough man like mo is no real comforter to one in distress, but I did tho best I could, and finally got them interested in the question of saving themselves. By 5 o'clock I got in the drag, shook one reef out of the sail, and stood oil on a southwest tack, but before I had made five miles the wind died out entirely und we were left tumbling on the last.of the sea. Night came on as mild and balmy as you piease, iue ocean grew quiet, and every one of us lay down and slept the w hole night through without a break. I was the lirt up, anu iuc iiiiuiiio a saw too si.y i groaned in despair. It portended a hot day uud a dead culm, and both followed. Even before break i fast 1 had to make a shii't to get some shelter from the blazing sun, and when I came to overhaul the provisions my face so be rayed my reelings that the younger girl cried out: "Oh! Jack, but what has happened nowf I could have eaten and drank all we had in five minutes. I hail not filled the water keg to its capacity, ami even some that I did put in bud leaked out by way of the Imii". 1 bad to teil them that we must put ourselves on allowance, and hardly more than a cruml. at that, but they cheerfully accepted the sit uation. I am not going into the details of the next week. For seven successive days we had dead culm or a contrary breeze, which was of little use to help us beat up. We spun the water aud provisions out for four days, and then we had nothing left. By resorting to those expedients known to sailors we kept hunger and thirst iu abeyance until the evening of the sixth day. Then the three wailed and wept, and I took off my cowhide shoes and cut one into strips for us to chew at. there was some slight relief, and the three only called out iu their troubled sleep a few times. We had only the leather all day of tho seventh, and on the morning of the eighth, ulthough a favorable breeze was blowing, and we all felt in better spirits, bad to cut up the other shoe. Little Ben was now reduced to a bundle of bones, and be bail the glassy eyes which go with a fever, while the girls were burned and freckled and starved until I could not bear to look at them. Both were looking ahead in a vacant, uncanny way, and Ben was resting in my arms while I steered, when wo ran straight across the course of a trader corning up from New Zea land, and were picked up. Being a young man, and a tough one, it wasn't a fortnight before I was my old self again, but the girls and the boy were down with fever for a mouth or more, and were a whole year in being restored to health.

San lay School. The Pre BCBtatloa r 1 he National Eta Mem Last Evening and Rev. . W '' He-mark B Helena an ra trlotle 91 nale. The ceremonies attendant upon the presentation of "a beautiful thirty foot American flag by the Sunday school ot the First M. E. church occurred last evening. The Sunday Bchool room of the handsome new stcne edifice at the corner of Fifth avenui: and Nineteenth street contained a larije congregation, the exercises opening ith the rendition by the church choir of "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name," after which the pastor. Rev. G. W. Our, offered prayer. and then read a portion of the Twentieth Psalm. Beautiful Zion" was sung. The flag, which had leen gracefully festooned across the front of the room was then pre tented by Mr. J. F. Robinson, the superintendent of the Sunday school, as an emblem if our christian civilization. Mr. Gue in ac cepting the banner spoke of it as an ex pression of patriotism and devotion. There should be a place r'or the Ameri can flag in our churches us well as in our hearts. There was something inexpres sibly beautiful about it w lerever it ap peared. It had a rifht in the churches as an emblem of christian libertv, of the protection that this country gives to all unu ner oi religious devotion anil wor ship, and the pastor hoped that there would be no lines of tecta ianisra drawn on the subject of reverence and love for it: all creeds and all shades of political faith should rally about it as the standard of religious and polit ical freedom, under whose beautiful folds protection is guartnteed to all law abiding people. It is tin standard of everything that is sacred and pure and glorious, the only flg, said Mr. Gue.that has a right in this country. N other fiitf, be continued, has a right on our streets, and it properly belongs wherever the lessons of Christianity are taught. It belonged in ever? church, and the preach er said be would net go iato a church where the stars and stripes were denied admission, and termed all opposition to placing it oyer God's altar, sickly senti mentalities. He spoke in condemnation of a recent incident where an Iowa church refused to admit within its portals the body of a dead rnldier wrapped in the stars and stripes. He thought every sol dier should be covered ovir with the American flig as a beautiful tribute, such a-i would be imperishable long years after flowers bad withered and the body hsd turned to dust. He was surprise that such a thing had happened in low as tho one just alluded to, but he would not have wonder.d at it in southern Illinois. Pa triotism was a part of Methoc ism and the Methodist church through many of its conferences bad already authorized the placing of the American ling in its churches. The central Illinois conference ti which the Rock Island church belongs, had been one of the first to ornament this movement and the pastor proposed to have another flag for the n :w church when the time came to dedicate it to tie worship of Almighty God. The flig which bad been presented on this occa sion, would, he said, have a cross placed over it, as the American Aug is second only as an emblem of christian love, to the cross of Christ. Mr. Gue spoke of an incident during the recent teachers' institute here, where a teacher from abroad asked if the "flig craze had struck the schools of Rock la- land yet, to which he said a Roman Catholic teacher in our public schools had replied sneeringly, "Oh, yei. U has." Mr. Gue said be hoped the flag sould jrt strike those two teachers In a manner that would bring them to a realization of their senses and their obligations to this country, and that he proposed to follow them both until the teacher was removed from her position in the school of Rock Island, and the instructor who bad asked the question should be known at Normal as be should he. ne again returned inanKs Tor the beautiful and appropriate emblem of Christian civilization. Miss i,lla M. Wilcox sang the "Star Spangled Banner," the congregation oined in singing "America, aid with the benediction by Mr. Gue. the services were concluded. The I'otato Crop. The reports on the potato crop in Illi nois continue to come in unfavorably. The yield for the past fifteen yearn in this state has averaged about 120 bushels an acre and last year's area was about 120,- 000 acres, the yield in round numliers bo ng 16,000,000 bushels, of the value of about $4,000,000. This year's area is about 110,000 acres, and the yield is a little short of 50 per cent, accord, ng to the returns made August 1, and bas prob ably declined since. With cot Untied drouth the crop will undoubtedly depre ciate further; with favorable weatberand good rains it might et improve some what. This indicates that the yii Id of the state will probably be less than 7,000,- 000 bushels. Indeed several sectirns of the state show an entire failure. :oaaty H ildinc.

The Moline Dispatch has the following concerning the visit of the Rock Island municipal committee to Moline, on its light inspecting trip: A party of Rock Ibland officials, in eluding Mayor McConochie, City Clerk Koehler and six of the aldermen, came to Moline last evening to inspect Moline' system of arc lights, they having deter mined down there to abolish the cumbrous and unserviceable towers, when they ' probably adopt a system simMar to ours The delegation was met bv the fire, wate and light committee (Aldermen Donahev McReth and Fones), together with Mayor Wessel, City Clerk Carlson, and Surveyor faddocx, and after a abort and sociable conference in the aldermanic chairs in the city council room, the visitors were shown through the electric light and pumping station and also over the system. The pleasant little conference in the council chamber was jocularly referred to as "the first consolidation meeting. At this conference it was developed that Rock Island now has a total of eighty arc lights, for which she is paying f 7.200 a year to the Brush people, or 90 a light. Hbe also has in kdgewood Park twenty two incandescent lamps, illuminated from the electric lighting station of the Peo pie's company in Moline. The Moline city plant is also equipped ror the lighting of eighty arc lamps, uav ing four 20-light dynamos, of the United States system, but she is crowding them to furnish eighty-two lights. The cost per light in Moline, including interest on investment, wear and tear of machinery ana every possible item of expense is but 160 a year. Besides, the capacity of the engine and boilers used issufBcien for the running of extra dynamos, so that were twenty, forty or sixty more lighl used, the expense per lamp would be re duced step by stp. The visitors were decidedly pleased with the system of lighting used here, and were much impressed with the mil ty of city ownership, which ws able to make the above showing. They ap lieared especially pleased with the neat ness of the arrangement at tho pumping station, which they declared to be the finest they had yet visited. After the inspecting bad been finished the party partook of a nice lunch at the Model dining room p-epared especially for the occasion. It being after street car hours by the time they were ready to depart for Kock Island, they were fur nished with a private conveyance. rws freni Oar Xelhbor.
