Here is his account: | | BY R. J. WILLIAMS. “T was hanging on the rail by my elbows—I was going to say by my eyebrows—when I lost the captain, The ship had been going down steadily by the stern, As I hung on the rail I thought she was going to stand right straight up in the air and dive stern first. “But her stern finally rested on the bottom, You see, she was 100 fathoms long, and the water there was only about 40 fathoms deep. So her stern struck the bottom and rested there, and [ could feel the shock as she struck and feel the hull stiffen, For maybe about five seconds she remained sol{d and motiontess. “Then she broke in two, probably abaft the engine-room. I though she would go that way and when I felt the shock I jumped from the rail Into the water, forty feet below. I am a fair swimmer. As soon as I got into the water I turned on my back and shed my overcoat, Then I struck out with all my might to get away from the ship before she went down. | “] was swimming on my back and moving away from her foreward. 1 Gould see her keel when the searchlights played on her.

DOWN WITH FLAG FLYING. “I was about five fathoms away when she went to the bottom. She left a hole for a second that looked like the jaws of hell to me, and then I heard a roar as if I was under Niagara Falls. No more dramatic tale of the sea and isagter was ever told than that con- tained In the offictal log hook of Mar- cont Operator A. H.

ALBANY, Without the constitutionality of Jan. 2 passing Antt: Racetrack Gambling laws, the Court of on the Appeals to-day dismissed the appeal tn the case of the People against Melville Collins, who was arrested on a charge of receiving $5 as an oral bet upon a horse race at Gravesend race track last summer. ‘The appeal was from an order of the Appellate Division, Part 1, affirming an order of Justice Bischoff, at special term in New York, sustaining a writ of ha- beas corpus, and discharging Collins The latter was arrested on June 16 last charged with a violation of Section 31 of the Penal Code, known as the Ag new-Hart law. Counsel for Collins contended that the receiving of $5 on an oral bet was not prohibited by the statutes, and that the new law only referred to acts done In connection with gambling conducted as a business, For the prosecution, it was Id that the intent of the law was to put a stop to all race track gambling, , The opinion, which ts by the Court, ys: “There is grave doubt whether the facts {In this case have been so carefully and thoroughly developed as to justify a determination of the Important ques- na discussed by counsel in this pro- ceeding, We are of the opinion that except in rare cases where the facts be- fore the Court cannot be matertally hanged, qualified or explained the de- termination of important issues ought not to be made fn a habeas corpus pro- ceeding, as it 1# not calculated to thor- oughly develop the facts as In the care when a regular trial is had, witnesses examined and crosa- examined, alleged errors reviewed on appeal and counsel present throughout, The Supreme Court of the United States has recently announced Its ad- herence to thin doctrine.” IN THE LONG RUN Coffee damages the nerves.
