SAILORS FROZEN T0 THE RIGGING Bodies Found When Life- savers Reach Ship. GOES ASHORE IN STORM Crew of Malian Vessel Wrecked Dur- Ing Gale Unable to Handle Breeches Buoy Tackle When Lifesavers Send Line Across Her Deck. ‘Wellfleet, Mass., Feb. 18—Four men perished when the Itallan mark Castagna struck on the outer bar of Cape Cod, a mile and a half south of the Cahoons Hollow lifesaving sta- tion. Seven seamen, all nearly uncon- sclous from exposure, were brought ashore by the lifesavers. The frozen corpses of Captain Gar- va and three sailors were left in the rigging, where the men had lashed themselves during the hour of dark- ness to avoid being carried overboard by the seas which swept the decks. The Castagna, from Montevideo for Boston, with phosphate rock, struck the bar during a blinding snow storm and a sixty-mile northwest gale. The beach patrol sighted her at dawn 300 yards off shore with the surf breaking over her and threatening to pound her to pieces. Too Cold to Help at Rescue. The combined lifesaving crews from the Nauset and Cahoons Hollow sta- »tions set up their beach gun and shot three lines across the Catagna's deck, but the sailors were so benumbed by the cold that they were unable to han- dle the breeches buoy tackle. The gale had moderated to thirty miles an hour, but the surf was so high that the lifesavers had to wait for some time before they could launch their lifeboat and pull out to the wreck against wind, sea and bit- ing cold. ‘The survivors were carried to the Marconi wireless station, where med- ical attention was given them. All were so overcome by exposure that they could give no coherent account of the disaster. SHIPPED AS HOG WORTH $10 Boy Found in Freight Car With Household Goods. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 18—A boy crat- ed and shipped as live stock was the discovery made by a veterinarian here when he was called upon to inspect a carload of goods billed from Bertrand, Neb,, to Burke, 8. D. The waybill ot the shipment included household goods and “one hog valued at $10.” Being an interstate shipment inspec. tlon was required. The veterinary found the household goods but no sign of a hog. A careful search, however, revealed a boy curled up in a corner of the car, none the worse for his trip. By billing the car as part live stock the shipper is allowed the low rate on the household goods and.in the absence of a hog the boy was sent bv the shinver as a substitute. ' SERVICES IN THE SENATE Members Pay Last Tribute to Augustus 0. Bacon. CEREMONIES ARE SIMPLE No Speeches of Eulogy, No Music and No Flowers—Only the Brief Ritual of the Episcopal Church Read at Funeral of Deceased Solon. ‘Washington, Feb. 18.—TFuneral serv- ices for Semator Bacon of Georgia were held in the senate chambey. There were no speeches of eulogy, no music and no flowers, except one de- sign—the tribute of the senate itself —which rested on the coffin. The ceremonies were inspiring in their very simplicity and the place in which they were held, while the dig- nity. of those assembled to do honor to the dead lent added impressive- ness. Two hours before the body was taken with tender reverence into the senate chamber it lay in the adjoin- ing marble room, where colleagues and associates of the dead senator viewed it for the last time. The pub- lic was excluded. Later the body was taken into the senate chamber. When Vice President Marshall walked slowly to his seat and called the senate to order the short and sim- ple services began. Departing from the customary form Mr. Marshall, in a voice full of feeling and lowered almost to a whisper, said: | “Senators, the hour has arrived at which, in accordance with the orders of the senate, the final ceremonies over the body of Augustus Octavius Bacon, late a senator from Géorgia and an unusually distinguished mem- ber of this body, are to be observed, In conformity to custom and in token of our common faith, the chaplain of the senate will offer a prayer to God, the father; God, the redeemer; and God, the comfarter.” The Episcopal burial service was pronounced by Bishop Alfred Harding of .the Protestant KEpiscopal church and a benediction followed by the chaplain. Members of the Capitol police force bore the body back to the marble room, where it remained until escort- ed to the railway station for the jour- ney to Atlanta, where it will lie in state at the Georgia capitol until taken to Macon for interment.

Cassady, of Thomas-, ville, Ga., says: “My little daughter was enasmic, delicate and nervous, she had no appetite and seemed list- less. We-could not seem to find any- thing that would help her until we were advised to give her Vinol, In- slde of two weeks after takin it she showed a marked improvement, both in appetite, vim and looks. I con- tinued ‘giving it to her and words fail to express my gratitude for what Vinol has done for her.” ‘This Child’s ‘Tecovery was due to the combdiied action ot the medicinal elements extracted from cods’ livers, ——combined ‘with the blood making and strength creating properties of | tonic iron contained in Vinol.
