THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, SEPTEMBER 20 1898,
A THRILLING MOMENT.
One of the most thrilling experiences pecorded in the annals of shooters’ ca- reers was that in which Dick Singleton, an old time Bradford shooter, played the role of hero. He played it well too.
' That the sensational drama did not turn
Se
owt to be a tragedy in which six lives were taken in the last act is due to the hero’s cool head, quick decision and su- perb nerve in the face of almost certain death.
Singleton was one of the best known shooters in the Bradford field. He had all the qualities which enter into the make up of a successful juggler with death's agencies. He had shot hundreds of wells and transported glycerin all over roads which at certain seasons had no counterpart for all reund vil- lainy anywhere, but his reckless caution had always averted a catastrophe.
One day Singleton started out to shoot a well located near Bradford. The well bad been ‘‘drilled in’’ two or three days before, but the shooter had been too busy to put in a shot.
Arrived at the well Singleton pro- ceeded to fill the shells with glycerin from his cans. That is a proceeding of some delicacy, as glycerin allows no liberties to be taken with it. Care must be exercised in pouring the stuff from the cans into the shells.
The well was about 1,800 feet deen, and during the interval since drilling had stopped about 1,000 feet of fluid had accumulated in the hole.
There was nothing unusual about that, but something unusual did hap- pen speedily and most inopportunely; something calculated to turn one’s hair gray and make such an impression on the memories of the men present as time could not efface.
The glycerin shell had been lowered several hundred feet, and Singleton was slowly playing out the cord, when he felt the line slacken. Immediately he heard an ominous roar. It was a sound to appall the stoutest heart.
The well had started to flow!
Singleton knew the meaning of that gound. He knew that a column of oil 1,000 feet high, obeying the impetus of the mighty forces of nature, then in convulsion 2,000 feet underground, was forcing to the surface with a velocity of a cannon ball a shell containing 20 quarts of glycerin.
He rer!ized that the

Delicate children! What a source of anxiety they are! The parents wish them hearty and strong, but they keep thin and pale.
To all these delicate chil- dren Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo- | phosphites comes with the best of news.
It brings rich blood, strong bones, healthy nerves, and sound digestion. It is growth and_ prosperity to them.
No matter how delicate the child, it is readily taken.

of that columuh of oil WoulZ project the shell against the timbers of the derrick with tremendous force. No need to speculate on what would follow the im- pact.
All this was flashed upon Singleton’s consciousness as he stood leaning over the hole. The thought flash and the signal of peril wre coincident in point of time.
It was an awful moment—such a | moment as no man had ever experienced ' and lived to describe.
Singleton’s companions understood | the import of that terrifying sound. Acting upon a natural impulse, they | turned to fiee, seeking in flight the | safety which they knew it was futile to hope for. Almost before terror could impart motion to their limbs the catas- | trophe would befall.
If Singleton had lost his head or hes- itated for only a fractional part of a sec- ond, six men would have been blown into eternity, and another horror would aave been added to the long list charged to the account of nitroglycerin.
But he cid not lose his head. He knew that fiight was useless. No time
for that. Whether he should run or stay, death seeemd to be inevitable. If he should stay, there was one
chance—only one. It came to Singleton like an inspiration. The one chance de- cided him. Desperate as it was*a mil- lion to one that it would fail—he re- solved to take it.
Who can say what passed through che man’s mind during the inappreciable fraction of time that he waited to put his plan into execution?
Perhaps Singleton himself could not describe what his mental vision beheld in that brief interval between the warn- ing and the appearance of the messenger of eternity.
He was conscious of nothing but the peril which was rushing upon him and his compan.ons and of the stern resolve to stand at his post and do all that he- roic manhood could do to avert the im pending doom.
Men think quickly at such time. Sin- gleton’s mind acted with the celerity of lightning. His muscles obeyed the man- date of the wil) with electric prompti- tude.
He made his title clear to heroism on that eventful day. He braced himself, and as the shell shot from the hole he threw his arms around it, not knowing but the sudden arrest of motion would explode the charge and not knowing that he could hold the shell at all.
Desperation gave him _ strength. There he stood, victor over death, sur- prised to find himself alive and smoth- ered in the thick, greasy fluid which flowed from the well and fell in tor- rents upon him. But he held fast to the prize which his alert mind, quick eye and prompt action had won in the hand to hand grapple with the forces of destruction.
Singleton is still living somewhere in the lower oil country, and he occa- sionally tries his hand at a shot, but if he should live until the fina) day of judgment he could never forget the day when he played back stop in the game between life and death, with nature in the box and 20 quarts of nitroglycerin doing service as a ball.—St. Louis Re- public.

THE GREAT DESERT.
With a feeling that my words will carry little weight with thcse who think otherwise, I veyture to suggest that the Sahara is not exactly whet it is commouly assumed to be, and yet in many ways it is not very cifferent. Its first sands, when approached from the si% of El-Kantara, are giant rocks, burned brown and red. ender the glow hf the southern sun, standing out in wild pinnacles from the gently undn- lating surface. ‘This is net the desert that is ordinarily pictured by the mind —that flat, endless expanse which fades off unmoved and unbroken to the limits of vision—but it is the desert, neverthe- less, just as much as the mountain snows of the far north are a part of the great arctic ‘‘sea of ice.’’ Beyond, how- ever, is the great plain itself, its swell- Ing undulations hardly relieving to the eye the appearance of absolute flatness which the picture offers.
The truth is, the Sahara presents itself in a donble aspect, that of the flat and sandy plain and that of the rocky ridge or mountain, the Hammada. It is the Hammada that is more particularly dreaded by the camvans, for amorg their wind swept crzgs there are few oases, and only the blowing sands and a relentless sun are the companions of the footsore pilgrim. In many parts of the flat desert traveling is moderately easy, for over long distances the surface has become coated into a hard, slimy crust—a solid basement rock, one may call it. Along our route of travel there were no sand dunes of any magnitude, the highest perhaps scarcely exceed- ing 15 or 20 feet, but Iwas informed by
| the distinguished French explorer, M.
Foureaud, who was then stopping at Biskra, that beyond Tuggurt they rise to the prodigious height of from 1,200 to 1,400 feet. This speaks even more eloquently for the power of the winds than do the high tossed sands of coral islands.—Ponvular Science Monthly.
Perfectly Cured
Weak and Low Spirited — Nervous Prostration—Appetite Poor and Could Not Rest.
‘‘T take great pleasure in recommending Hood’s Sarsaparilla to others. It has been the means of restoring my wife to good health. She was stricken down with an attack of nervous prostration. She suf- fered with headaches and her nerves were under severe strain. She became very low spirited and so weak she could only do a little work without resting. Her appetite was poor, and being so weak she could not get the proper rest at night. She decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as we had heard it highly praised, and I am glad to state thet Hood’s Sarsaparilla has perfectly cured all her ailments.” G.
