WIZEKSIACDRIFT ON THE PACIFIC Thrilling Tale of the Sea Which" Speaks of the Awful Sufieriugs of Shiprecked Mariners in 'an Open Boat » NEW YORK, March 16.-A tale of the sea rlvalling in horror and harii- ship any tragedy of the deep, was brought here today by William Kuhl- mann, a seairian, who was a passen- iicr on the steamer Voltaire, from South America ports. Kuhlmann is one of six survivors of the crew of the American ship Til- ley E. Starhuck, which was abandon- ed last August more than u thousand miles off the Pacific const of South America. He and his companions were rescued by a British ship after drifting about for eight weeks in an open boat. Two of the six men in the little craft died alter succor had come to them and Kuhlmann spent many weoks in u hospital at Vulparaiso,rc- covering from the effects of his ter- rible exposure. No word has ever been received from the .other boat which put oil from the abandoned Stsrhuck. and \t.'ls believed that its occupants are dead. The Tillie E. Starbuck sailed from New York last April bound for Hono- lulu. Down ‘thc Atlantic coast all the way to the 'Horn she had only pleasant winds, and even in the tur- huleut stretch of ocean south of_tbe cape, she encountered no wricus trouble. Il; .was when she \-:~s \\'cli on her way across the Pacific that the stefbnck ren into the storm which euced her career. The gale broke during the latter part of July and on the last day of that month, the vessel's masts were |cnpants of the two boats kept each other in sight, but eventually they ,became separated. Day and 'nigh`t, lweek after week, the occupants ol Kuhlmnnn's boat maintained a con- stant watch lor the sail or wreath of smoke which might mean life to lthem. At last after weeks of inde- iscrihable suiiering, the Kambusk- feth hovc in sight. The signal of distress.wliich had been set as the llirst warning was answered and a lfewf minutes later the half-faruished ship-wrecked men were safe on board the vessel. They w ure cared for as |tenderly and carefully as the facilit- [ies on hand would permit, but so serious was the condition of all that it was necessary, to transfer them to the hospital as soon as the ship reached Valparaiso. Two _of the suf- ferers were found to be beyond human help, however. . __.__._ Biiiiiiii iiliiS_ .

The Admiralty announced on Saturday that it had been decid- ed to provide every warship with a trained staff of cooks. For generations it has been the custom an hoard ship of entrustrug the preparation of food to individual members of the ship's company, told off to act as cooks of the messes. ;Each man in each mess was a cook -by rotation, whether he had any cul- inary talcnt or not. Now this is the case. A paymaster who has done a mouth’s training at the National School of Cookerysin London will supervise the shi 's cooks. and in order to insure that the latter, do their .work satisfactor- iily a lieutenant is to be sent round lthe mess deck at dinner time to dis- 'cover whether there are any com- plaints. This is an old-established larmy practice, but in new to the vnavy.

The thirty-eight annual report of the Mutual Life of Canada,, which appears in another part of to-day's paper, presents very strong evidence that the financial flurry last Fall had little elleet on the Life Insur- ance Companies, and therefore.. must. \ave done but little damage to the great body of substantial_citizens ,who insure their lives. Perhaps the most striking feature nf the report is the amoupt of new business written-over Seven Million Dollars-an increase of more ` than a million and a half over the a- nnd the House was adjourned till Scotia are here to attend the Pm-A mount of business written in 1906.
