IN DISASTER AT SEA
'TRAVELER TELLS OF ACTIONS OF
FELLOW PASSENGERS.
(Little Exeltemtnt, Although All Knew
the Ship Wee Injured, *1 Later
Deep Thenkfulnete (or preser
vation From Death.
I have often wondered how people
would act, how 1 myself would feel.
In tho event of a disaster nt see. I
bad the opportunity of finding out, the
*■ other night, when In the darkest hour
just before dawn. In a dense fog, the
ship on which I bad salted from South
• amp ton, the New York, was rammed
by the Pretoria, 400 mile* from New
Tort
I was awakened by the stopping of
our engines and the violent churning:
of the screw aa the ship backed wa
ter. Then, out of the impenetrable
darkness was heard the hoarse shriek:
I of another foghorn than our own,
which, at intervals of a minute, had,
been bellowing for hours. I knew that
another vessdl was approaching, and
•vary minute drawing nearer.
Then came jr shock, sharp though
not rcry viol eg . and I knew see hr.d
been struck, ft,pliers and ctw sards
rushed pact to * ke up their station at,
tlk* boats, sndtiwo or three jRjnutes
l* «r tiie Hugo hulk of the Hrr, ioria,
(0 erlug above *our emit, glided'by so
ttti r that I coufv touch her with iny
: h*.J, whllo she tore away part of our
bulwarks In pasting.
'then the pacjcigcn loi .va to pour
• epvSfrom tho cabins In sc.’.aty attire,
kteny with Ufa preservers buckled on.
There were no hysterics, and surpris
ingly little evident excitement, hut all
quietly awaited the end which we
thought was near, until in a few min
utes the officers reported that the hole
In our side was above the water line.
It was big enough, however, to udnilt,
two or three trolley cars abreast. and
g huge anchor of the Pretoria, weigh
ing Cve tons, was found Imbedded in
our bow, while tin Iron platen of our
ship were twisted uo Ilka (-.havings.
For nearly twenty-four hours more
the fog continued with brief latcrmis
tion, and this evidently got, on the
nerves of tho passengers even more
than the shock of tbo “rat moment
of tho collision. Some tried to throw
off their nervousness by ringing rp.g
time tunes, othera by playing cards,
ru.d cot a few, i ar.i glad to say, by
looking to a higher power, and rsiuern
berlngttthat tho father In heaven ruled
tire waves.
It was a tlmo when mar.y- hearts
wore tender, and any appeal to their
gratitude and reverence sent home.
Buntlny morning, the next day after
the accident. Just be’ftre reaching port,
I asked permission of the purser to
bold a (bar.* ?r’ring service, which
vis /eudl’.y granted. 1 never know a i
tudlcr.ee to ba moro responsive. There
veto few ife-v eyea in tho crowded
i :usio rcom sa ws voiced our graMtide
' In song urtf-l-rayor ntd brief v.-erda of
thanksgiving. Vjaa-r streams! down
tho faces of many strong men. and tho
Impressive service: will r.evetv be for
pottem by* any who attendod.—-f’brte

Religious Motive.
"A missionary's first duly 1b to latum
to "think black,’ ” said Mlsbop Maplitall
J.uecocfc la a missionary Sunday ad

think black—learns to think, that Is,

’’He won’t understand. for example,
: a man like Alt. All, a fat, lasy rascal,
was converted from the Mohammedan
faith to Christianity. A Mohammedan,

it was afternoon In a small oasts
▼lHago of tbo £U«as. 1 was sested
ou n straw mat In a little garden
space just outside the cafe, and
dreamily regarding the Intense blue
shy through the vino leaves trelllaed
overhead, which (tacked me with their
shadows. Ap old Arab was praying
Just In front. Two groups, one on
each side of jne, were placidly seated
cu clean yellow mats—young men,
whose iturh, pad faces, thiu-featured
nud largeeyed, contrasted with their
white robe*. They were smoking kif
- a translucenre of gold In their clean
hronae skin, e languor of light In
their Immobile ga.-e, content The
garden re,.ale oft before me, topped
v !th palmy distance; the silent..street!
to one side waa out of sight, as It
11 were no). It was a place of peace.,
I had finished my coffee and dates.'
I lilted my brier-wood. The May*
heat was great. Intense; and I sets
( til myself to a long smoke, and fell
Into reverv ai*d .recollection.
How simple It all was! That pray
l;'-g Arab—what an Immediacy with,
Tod! What a nonchalance in the
d’oamy pkasupee of those delicate-,
featured youths! AWhut a disburden
meat was litre! I had only ,to .Jlft
my lades finger to heaven dying, to
l.a <>ue of the faithful; and the fact
v ar symbolic, exemplary, of the sim
plicity of Islam. It makes the mln
i.T.um demand on the Intellect, on the
whole nature ft man. I had but

in .’Hjeetlve, historically. Moham
medanism, the fshiuuel of religions,
'•'»* ike elder brother of Protestant
ism, notwithstanding profound dlf
feroocea of racial temperament be
tween them. The occidental mind la
adsorbent, conservative, antiseptic,
it Is not content, like the Moham
medan, to let things. Ho where they
fall, disintegrate, crumble end sink
Into oblivion. Western education
fills the mind with the tanglo-foot of
the past. Catholicism was of this
racial strain. It had a genius for
absorption. It was the melting-pot
of the religious pest, end what re
sulted after centuries was an amal
gam, rich tn dogma, ritual and In
siitutlcn, full of Inheritance.—Balti
