SHIPWRECKS ON THE SOUND
is n log cut-i.
Burning of the Lexington in 1840 —'—How the
Atlantic and the Narragansett Were Lost
The wreck of the City of Columbia has
called out many references to similar dis-
asters on New England waters in years
gone by. anpily, the parallels are few;
indeed, the recent calamity is absolutely
without a parallel, in the heavy total of
the lives lost. Still, there have been a
few c'aiasirophlrs on our Count which an:
to this day painfully remembered by
older people, which had many fratures in
common with the loss of the Columbus.
A writer in the Boston Travellarihns
taken the trcublc to look up the records
of ihcse tragedies of the past, and rehear-
ten their story as follows:
The steamer Lexington left New York
on the afternoon of January 18. 1540, for
Providence, with a passenger list of
seVenty-~ix, men, women, and children,
and an (tiller-(r nnd crew list of tlilriy five;
an assorted cargo under deck and Cotton
on deck as freight. 'The Wralhcr was
intensely Cold but lefll‘. About fit-y
miles out from New York some of the
crew (llEcOth'td fire among the bales of
cotton stowed near the smoke-slack; -the
alarm was at once givr-n but the wind
blowing flu-h and the fire had got under
such headway that iill attempts to subdue
it were finitleis and the impossibility of
saving. the steunier was at once apparent ;
the burning cotton bales were thrown over-
board and the boats, of which there wasa
good number, including a Francis life
bout, were launched, but the Confusion
was so great and the management of the
bolus so bad that they Were. at once un-
uVuilitble for saving Me. Out of the
whole number of one hundred and elevm
on board only four succeeded in escaping
death. Of these was W. A Green, of
Providence, :1 passenger, who wind 8
flouting bule of cotton and was dillft-(l
ashore about thirty miles from where the
steaiiieriook file; the chin Wus Divm

hours exposed on the water, and then
Walked at considerable distance through
the snow biforo obtaining shelter and
help. He is the only survrvor now liv—
-1ng and is in the employ of the same line.
Most of the passengers belonged to Bus.
tin, and among them many distinguished
merchantsundpiofesuiona.men. Giving
to the loan time before the news reached
New York it was lull three days before
the details in full reached Balaton. In
the meantime the exaltemeut was intense.
It was the first disaster of any magnitude
that had occurred since the saw at of
steamers. The New York and Boston
papers were flIItd for days with acclinnis
of the disaster, and opinions as to where
the blame was to be placed. The primi-
lent opinion was that due caution was not
observul in the stowage of the cotton,
and that the steamer and the lives of
passengers and crew wére sucrificeuto
the greed of gain. There were also severe
strictures upon the lack of proper methods
for smug life, and the grucrully accept~
ed verdict was carelessness iind ineffi—
clency.
For nearly seven years after :hc loss of
the steamer Lexington there llhd been to
serious steamer liCCldtnl in' Long Island
sound, and the remembrance of it had
nearly passed away, when the startling
news of the wreck of the stetmcr Atlnntic
reached this city. The steamer Atlantic,
of the Norwich line, left her dock at
Allyn’a point about ten o'clock Wednes
day evening, November 25, 18-16, bound
for New York. It was on the eve of
Thanksgiving day, and had not the

After leaving Ally-’3 point, all went well
till when off Fisher’s island a gale struck

Cnptuln Young, left New York at 5:80 p

with the Sioningtnn, a sister boat on ilir
line, going to New York. It being 111
dead of night rind till the piissengcre in
their staterooms and berths, the Confusion
ciu better bi: imagined than discribcd.
.\It mules were in own taken by the 0111-
t:t-rs on both simmers to save life. In
weather was mild ‘nnrl the: water culm.
Order Wits soon restored, but in the
almost. total darkness, the Nari'ngriuactt‘s
lights [loving been extinguished, a serious
loss of life was inevitable considering the
large number of passengers and tin ir
frantic excitement. Soon nf‘tcr the col
riding of the steamers fire was discovered
on board the Narragansett, caused prob-i-
bly by explosion of gas, the flames spread
rapidly, and this added intensely to the
other horrors. The passengers jumped
overboard recklessly ; the Narragansett
was about eight miles from shore, and she
was run on and benched. Whrh the first
news reached Boston the number of livt-s
rcporlcd lost was, of course, it matter if
surmise or calculation, and therefore
greatly eXuggrrutetl. The CKt‘iltihtht
was intense, till lulcr telegrams began to
hi: received, filled With details, and tie
arrival of survivors in New York and
Boston gave the facts more precisely.
The actual loss did not reach a third « 1’
the number as first. given. Swerul then-
rics were advanced as to the party who
Was to blame, and there were not a few
who cha'rgcd both captrrinsznnd both pilots
with carelessness and recklessness. But
a thorough investigation by tbctzfllcial
authorities resulted in freeing the officers
from any blnme.
It will be seen by the above record, that
during 111:: fifty years since the athent of
steniiiers on Long Island Sound, the dis-
asters resulting in serious loss of life have
been Wonderfully small. This applies in
passenger steamers, and conducting the
millions who have been transported dut-
ing this period, the percentage of loss If;
still more remarkable. The dangers of
sound navigation are in many respects
glefllcl‘ than on the coast, particularly in
filtering and leaving the port of New
York. Thirty years ago there was much
less caution used than now. In the first
place the amount of steam tonnage on the
Sound was much less and the size of the
steamers much smalu-r. Before the all-
rnil flight lines were established, the travel
between the two cities of Boston and New
York was almost confined to the sounll
steamers, and the competition between
the three lures lives so great that often-
times great risks Were. ialrrn by the cup
tains in order to make quick trips, and
racing was not uncommon and frequently
dangerous, especially in coming through
the Gun. But this is abandoned, and the
great dangers now are from thick fogs
- and floating ice.
Finding Hidden Rocks.
The rcsurVey of Ling Island sound,
eastern end, has been completed from the
meridian nf Faulkner'i' Island, eastward
and including the approaches thereto as
fur cm as Point Judith. This luc udts
all the island: in thin. part of the sound,
Gardner's, Fishers, Plum and Block
islands, etc., 511. the eastern end if the
round. The Work is done by the United
States and Geodetic Itirvoy. under the
direction of Prof. J. I. Hilgard. The
runway is it part of a grand plan to be
eVenlnlly consummated relative to the
entire coast, seaward and inland of the
entire country. At the western end of
sound the work has been complcind vas-
i'ar mi Sund'n Point. Among the. results
of the work is the dl-covery of many
rocks d'igorous to navigation heretofore
notdowu on the charts and unknown to
"avisgit r--, such as boulders in the East
River-anon rut Morris between there
and/Fort Schuyler, and a rock above
Port Morris With only fifteen feet of
water on it and deep water all around
it. The stint-y take: in all of Long
Island round, iilso ten mill-s shorewiird
on each side of the sound It will occupy
three year: more, and will be resumed
as soon as the Walther allows. Memo-
rials are to be presented in congress in
furtherance of the enterprise by the New
York and the New Haven chambers of
commerce and by citizws of note and

OLD EGYPTIAN Film
One of the love songs is a remnnge‘
ment and retranslation of twenty-five frag-
ments of a much mutilated papyrus which
has long puzzled EgyptologistS, and
which, after first being mistaken for I
book of magical inoculations, and next
for a. romantic tale. at last proves to be a
love trio recited by three trees—an old
sycamore, ayoung sycamore, and a fig
tree—in praise of a. beautiful woman who.
with her lover, frequents the garden
where they grow. The style of these
songs; and especially of those entitled
“ Chansons recreatives" (Harns' papyrus
No. 500) is very. similar' to that of tho
Song of Solomon, the imagery being
largely borrowed from the same sources.
The fable is the most remarkable novelty
in the volume, being neither more nor
less than an Egyptian version (or ought
we not say the Egyptian original?) of the
well-known dispute of the “Belly and
the Members. ” This also is but a frag.
ment, thopgh perfect as far as it goes. It:
opens than: "Case of Belly v. Head;
wherein are published the pleadings made
before the Supreme Judges in the pres~
ence of the President, who kept watch in
order that the liar should be unmasked.
Accomplished were the customary rites
clue to the God whois ahaterv ofiniquilry. "
Then followsjthe boastful speech of the
Head, who claims to be Queen of all the
body; whose eyes see. whose ears hear,
whose nostrils inhale the air, whosemouth
has the gift of speech, etc. Written in a
fine, cursive, hieratic hand (apparently of
the latter and of the Twentieth Dynasty)
upon two small wooden tablets covered
with stuccoed linen, this precious relic.
which forms part of the Turin collection,
would seem till now to have escaped the
observation of Egyptologists. To Prof.
Maspero belongs the honor of having dis‘
covered and translated it. When it is re-
membered that Dr. Bmgsch not long
since discovered part of an Egyptian ver-
sion of “The Lion and the Mouse, " we
may well be tempted to conclude that the
land of the Pharaohs was the birth-place
of fable as well as of romance.
WHEN TO EAT. .
When people sit up late at night, par-
ticularly if they are delicate, they should
eat something, if only a. slice of bread
and butter, before retiring. This seems
heretian but it is not. Animals after
eating instinctively sleep. Human beings
become droivsy after a. full meal. Why ?
Because blood is solicited toward the
:1 )machto supply the juices headed in
digestion. Hence the brain receives less
blood than during farting, becomes pale;
and the powers grow dormant. Sleep
therefore ensues. This is physiological.
The sinking sensation in sleeplessn 33 is
a call for food. Wakefulneis often is
merely a symptom of hunger. Gratify
the desire, and you fall asleep. The
aeble will be stronger u‘: down if they
eat on going to bed. Fourteen hours lie~
between supper and braikfazs. By that
time the fuel of the bod; has become ex-
"ended. Consequently, the morninztoi-
l tfatigues many. Let such eat. at bai-
time, and take a glass of warm mi“ "
beef-tea before rising. Incremei vigor:
wfll‘ result. “ But theslomnch mun: rest. "
True. Yet when hungry we mil'lf: can

merely because his food requires more
digestion. Seldom can one remain uwnkc
until half-past ten or eleven o'clock with-
out hunger. Satisfy it, and sleep “rill bu
sounder. Dumng the night give wake-”“1
children ‘food. Sleep will follow. »
sick should invariably eat during- the
night. This is imperative. At night,
the delicate and children may take, slowly.
warm milk, beef ten. or oatmeal gruc‘i:
Vigorous adults may also eat bread and
milk, cold beef, mutton. chicken and
bread, raw oysters—all, of course. in mod-
eration. Do not eat if not hungry. Eat
if you are.
STAGE FRIGHT ADIONG “SI/”PBS."
“A ‘supe’ hasn’t much to do, you‘ll
say. Well, perhaps not ; but do you
know he requires more teaching and coax-
ing thananordimtry actor? You must
get it into his head somehow that at ft cer-
tain one he must come out at a. certain
door and walk ton. certain point on the
stage. He has nothing to say, of course.
He may have to carry a solver with a
card on it, and present it gracefully. Do
you believe that I actually trained one
fellow for three rehearsals to do this act,
and when he came on at last he made a
bungle of it ?" The actress he was to wait;
on had taken a position in another part
of the stage from what I had expected,
and the idiot went to the spot I had
chosen and stopped short. Then he had
a stage fright and mu ofi‘, and there was
a roar of laughter. Such things happen
very frequently. In the old days I used
to have half a. dozen men that could be
sent on for such an act. Now I have to
train a new one every time.”
“ Do ‘ supes’ ever have stage fright?"
“ Oh, yes; once in a while a young fel—
low goes on as confident as a. Kentucky
mule, and runs off likeascared rabbit.
He can’t help it to save his life. The
master or captain of the ‘supes' has to
stand at the flies and instruct each ‘ supe ’
as he goes on. They never have any
idea of ‘dressing the stage '—that is, you
know, standing in groups, asmeu doin or-
dinary life, and notialiue. No ; their ten-
dency is to get together like a. set of nine-
pins and gaze stohdly at: nothing. It is
the most difficult thing in the world to
teach them to look like ordhiary mortals.
The success of a. spectacle depends very
largely upbn the training of the subordi-
nates, and I have heard that the enthus-
iastic reception of ‘Julius 032331" at the
Duke of Meiningen‘s theater was due to
the perfection of (IISCLPIIDO among the
minor characters. Hefe when we have a
Roman spectacle it is tough to make the
‘supes’ look like'Rerm c.tizens.”—-Pliiaf-
et'pln'c Times. '
BIRDS WHICH CARE FOR OTHER .
The celebrated naturalist Levuillnnt,
who has told us so many interesting things
about the birds of Africa and South
America, says that he discovered a barber’s
nest in which there were five birds. Four
of them were young and vigorous, but
the fifth was so old and weak that; when
it was put into a cage with its commode; I
it could not move, but: lay dying in the
corner where it: had been placed. ‘i‘v'hcn
food was put into the cage, the poor old
bird could only look tit if. longingly, with-
out having the strength to drug itself
within reach of if. Then it was that the
younger birds manifested a. singular spirit
of kindness. Quickly, and ever. anrh an
air of tenderness, 8311‘; seems, they vii:-
ried food to the decrepit old bird, and
for] it as if it had been only a. I'Ietls‘lillg.
Struck by' this spectacle, the Datlll‘lillfl?
examined the nest from which the llllldfii
had been taken, and found if; was hill of
husks and the remains of insects, showing
plainly that the old bird must have been
maintainedalong time by its vigorous
companions, which probably were its own
ofi'springs. Further study of other birds .
of the same species convinced the untur-
nlisl; that it was the custom for the old
and infirm birds to be cared for by the
young and strong.
