The bargain-hunting instinct is sup-

possession, but the most incorrigible
bargain-hunter I ever heard of was
a. newspaper correspondent.
He was sent to Berlin some time
after the our, when the mark was
falling rapidly. and he hegured that
falling rapidly, and he figured that
there ought to be a. lot of stun he
could pick up cheaply.
So he went out in search of bar-
gains and returned to the bar of the
Adlon Hotel. where the other corres-
pondents were grouped. late one all

"Fellows," he cried. excitedly, "I've

NANTUCKET
NANTUCKET. Mass. March 8. —
The crew of seven men 0 fthe Cana-
dian schooner E. M. Roberts. after a
Inight. of suffering in a cabin flooded
by water that was freezing slowly
while their vessel was wracked by
great seas. were rescued by the crew
of the Coskata. coast guards station
today.
The schooner. laden with coal from
.New York for St. John, N. B.. parted
her anchors in the storm off Great
Point last night. was driven ashore
and lay broadside on the beach. Cap-
tnln Adolph A. Bohdln and his men of
the Coskata station tried unsuccess-
fully to launch their surf boat through
the breakers. Then they set up the
rigging for rescue by breaches buoy.
but or each of two attempts the line
fell short of the schooner. \
Through the night the Coast Guards
stood by on the wintry shores. A fire
which they had kindled as a. sign of
encouragement to the shipwrecked
mariners served also to keep them
warm throughout the vigil.
This ,morning Captain Bobdln
headed lilo heartics out again and this
time they pushed their dory through
the surf and reached the stricken
schooner. Cianzocring aboard was
difficult. as the Roberts was iced all
over. Captain Bohdln said that when
he and his men had broken through
the ice to get to the ‘ cabin door no
found Captain “’illiam Kelson of St.
John. and his six men inside, almost
frozen. _ ‘
'i'nc Roberts’ men were taken off
with some. difficulty: Ii the schooner
was being beaten constantly by the,
seas. but were landed without injury
to any. They were at the coast guard
quarters today. under treatment for
minor frost bltts.
The schooner lay broadside to the
beach. with several hundred tons of
hard cool aboard. regarded as an even
chance for salvage by wreckers.
