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

Do not run down your predecessor’s

It is easier to talk about what Paul
did than to do as he did.
It is hard to shake hands with the

you believe what you preach.
