LETTER-

From the First Page.)

Ing that she did not move or she would have dropped into 40 fathoms ot water and we should not have been able to tell the tale. The sea was running very high. and as tht-re was some tear of :he ship foundering, the boats were ordered lo be lowered. This took ovei two hours to do, as the boats tackles were atm and the blocks hard to ieavc. There was perfec' order--no confusion whatevcr_.the t :liners bc:ng quite cool. The ladies and children \\ ern all pu! into the first boat. While this wts all going on the ensign was run up to the masthead, upside down, and rockets were tired signalling that we were in distress. -

We boys lrom Charlotttelown all

kept together, managing to get into the same boat. One ot the boats was smashed to pieces while being lowered, When our boat was iilled we started lor the Lighthouse. About half way we sighted a sail, which proved to be a Norwegian trader, which hearing our signals of distress was heading for the wreck. Our boat consisted of 18 pass- engers, one ollicer and a c.ew of three. We continued our course and landed at the lighthouse where we were most hospitably received by the lighthouse keeper and his two assistants. Great praise is due to the :?.~.d cilici-.r,in charge ot our boat, for his coolness and excel- lent judgement in landing us on the lighthouse, as it is one of the hardest places o.. the coast to land a boat. It has been known to take SO days before the lighthouse steamer could land a boat at this place. Alter We landed on the rock the oilicers and crew of the lifeboat went to the assistance of the boats-containing the women and child- ren, which were drifting off to sea.with the intention of bringing them to the lighthouse, but on account of the heavy seas and increasing wind could not make any headway, and eventually were picked up by the trader. She had picked up' all the boats,but on account ‘of the rocks and heavy sea could not send a boat to rescue us. She then sailed for Terrymore. a town on the island of Mullotf the west coast of Scotland,and we being left on the rock set to work to make the best of a bad job. The nearest point to the lighthouse, is Tires Island, where there is a signall- ing station to answer any signals from the lighthouse, _but owing to’ the haze over the land, they could not make out our signals until Friday evening. Skerryvore lighthouse is the largest in the world, being 138 feet high, diamet- er at base 42 feet; diameter at top, 16 feet, containing 10 stories. You can imagine the exercise we had climb- ing up the steep and winding stairs. The kitchen was up 5 stories, and the library,which was converted into a bed- 1'°°N» 8 stories. The keeper and assistants were genuine Scotchmen and Lheiirst thing they asked us when we gat up to the kitchen was “Will ye uae hae; glass o’ beer ta whet your wustle.” (Qf course needless to say we all said“No.”) '

Amongst the number of us on tl.ei

lighthouse were, §Agoncillo, Delegate Extraordinary of the Phillipine Government, and his secretary F, Marti-Bur-gos. Also a Persian priest, who always when saying grace at the table. said in his broken English, “we give so tousand million times tsnrs 0781*.” Our first meal over, which consisted ol canned meal, hard tack and coffee, we then set to work to solve theiquestion ol how twenty-one persons -could get into live bunks. As several of our number were used ta camping oat, it was easily solved. We boys took the kitchen tor our bedroom, put- ting mattresses on the stone iloor, and we can positively state that this is the first timethat the dry goods merchants of Charlottetown ever laid down their arms together.

There was not much sleep for us

owing to the anxiety caused by being unable to communicate with our friends at home, knowing that they would hear of the accident and have no word cf us.

At daylightnext morning we went

out on the rock to see how things looked and behold the sea was cvverfd with wrecicage. We then turned our eyes towards the wreck, and foiled that during the night, the steamer had sunk, only part of her two rear masts sowing above wat-ir. We then climbed up the ten staircases in order to perform our morning toilet, as the wash basin, which consisted of a ten gallon tin pail, was on the balcony, at the top of the lighthouse. Then we had our breakfast. \Ve kept a lookout all day to see if the lighthouse steamer was to be seen, which we hourly ex- pected, but as she did not puti in an appearance we had to pass another night on our “kitchen bed.” Next morning was line and clear and at nine o’clc~ck we sighted the steamer, heading for the rock but owing to the heavy swell they could not send a boat in un- til low tide which was two o’clock.

At three o’clock,after shaking hands,

The grestest preacher is the one who

A cold church will freeze a pastor if

Preaching holiness to unsaved souls

is like watering dead trees to make them grow.

Do not run down your predecessor’s

methods until your own have succeed- ed.

It is easier to talk about what Paul

did than to do as he did.

It is hard to shake hands with the

enemies of truth and be friendly with them, and then make them believe that you believe what you preach.
