STORY OF TO-DAY. Mr. F.
1. Bullen, whose Cruise of the Cachalpt." and other stories of the sea are so well known, is concerned to refute the persistent statement that the romance of the sea no longer exists, and certainly einnot be proved in connection with steam. Mr. Bullen accordingly sets forth ih a letter to the Spectator" the following tale in the plainest words November 30th last the little steam collier Congress, carrying about thousand tons of coal, left Cardiff for Brest. She was thirty fourteen one years of old, whom and carried were crew of har de, four seamen, and three the master and two officers.
So that at sea at night with wheel and lookout manned the only available hand for any deck-work was the officer of the watch, unless, indeelt, the lookout man were called from his There is nothing unusual in this; it is mentioned to portray the situation era The rest of the hands, of course, belonited to the -room and stokehold, including the steward. The next they were on the Cornish coast with a heavy gale northward blowing during right on the shore, forenoon but with hauling to the very heavy sca. There is no doubt that the vessel was handled with seamanlike care, being steered and driven wica every possible attention to her needs in conflict with those mighty Atlantio wove Most of us who have been in Channel during a gale have seen vessels similar to tire Congress fighting for their lives "Just and a mast, lurching through the spray have watched the great masses of water break. ing clean ove and have felt our hearts to go out to the brave men whose lot it is to earn their 300r pay in so strenuous fashion. at 1 p.m.
the Congress shipped an estra which carried sway en bloo the struc lure known as the flying bridge, from which he vessel was navigated, and with it the wheel-house and the chart-room, (one room dirided by bulkhead), all the boats, four number, the engine-room sky. light, and the master, mate, and helmsman, were all on the bridge. At the treme, dous impact of this the econd mate, whose watch below swoke from his hardlysleep and ruled on deck. Seaman though he have taken some appreciable space time for him to realise the esteat isaster and the fact that upon him, the airtificated man with Jons than the pay of scavenger, had fallen the sole responsibility. A few seconds only, and the man had risen to the full stature of his position.
His care was to get the hand steering gear aft connected. His next almost incredibly diff salt task, to get the propeller disentangled, assisted by at the utmost three other men. Then, and not until then, was the and all the while she had been in in danger of destruction by the assailing seas. Now to the hapless ones dashed with the structure upon which they were had still in stood into the foaming They sight, or, rather, frail support was, for already the mate had pone. But to bring the vessel round 60 head for them would haw been to invite destruction, for it must have exposed her buttered side to the sens, and one blow would have certainly sunk her.
Moreover, it rust be remembered that the vessel moss derelict, and there were no boars. 80 the man in charge did all that a seaman could do for the lives and property whose had been thus suddenly thrust upon and kept in towards GodHead, -Sing signals of distress as night came on, wh were answered from the lighthouse on point, but that was all. No help was for until the smell hour of following morning, when another col lier, the came along, and when close to demanded the news, Now, and quite natu rally, the crew: clamoured to be taken off the for they believed her to be sinking At any rate, they asserted their right to gras; the chance afforded them of living a little longer, and it ought to be difficult for anyone to blame them, seeing that all they had at stake was their lives. Nor can we wonder if the brevet captain was quite ready to believe that this little group of men would take no further orders from him in the face of such an opportunity or now matters offered. little, Whether fact we are surprised not the being that the poor man, worn out with labour and anxiety (he had been continually toiling under the worst conditions for over eighteen hours), accepted the offer of rescue by the master of the Bilbater, and he with his crew were promptly salved, and taken on board the rescuing vessel.
Then he told the master that he believed the Congress might yet be saved if volunteer crew in. went on board of her and sho were towed To which suggestion the master gleefully sponded, ef course, because while saving risk life even the imminent of your OWD must always be done gratuitously, saving property means comfortable addition to the salvors' scanty salary. Think of it! Had the Congress been had totally lost the underwriters would have to pay her 'owners £7,750. What an immense sum that, as it turned out to be for hire, injudicions suggestion of Mr. James Purdy's save the underwriters! of course, he did not think of that.
He only felt concerned true seaman at the of losing the ship, and did to the all he could to prevent that calamity. In the end the Bilbater accomplished the feat of towing the disabled Congress safely into port, and there it was is learned that loss the romantio helmaman, of whose narrative not the the two, was found by the lifeboat tossing helplessly upon the wreckage to which his superior physique had enabled him had to cling. both while the master and the mate relinquished their held and been was drowned. Subsequently the whole matter at brought before the Court of Inquiry Liverpool, presided over by the stipendiary and magistrate, assisted by a naval captain imo merchant masters nautical assessors. The inquiry WAS most exhaustive one, extending over four days, and embracing not merely the c*mstances of the wreck, but the condition and antecedents of the vessel.
But all of it seemed to show that the man upon whom the responsibility was suddenly thrown had done all that mortal man could do, save offer the lives of those that were with him and his own as a sacrifice to the manes of those whom impossible However, in end the verdict of the court was that the second officer, Mr. James Purdy, must be severely censured (1) for not attempting to save the lives of the man washed overboard; and (2) for premature abandonment of the vessel. do not wish to challenge the decision of the court, which was no doubt given as a matter of strict right and duty, bat it may, I think, be a subject of legitimate wonder whether this humble seaman would have received the same verdict if he had found anyone to defend him, of had been member of any of the masters' and officers' societies, and consequently had had the benefit of skilled help and advice in the presentment of his case. But surely such conduct as his cannot fail in its appeal to the hearts and consciences of all of us who love manliness and believe in the undying romance and heroism of seafaring. DEESIDE RATES.
HOSPITAL EXPENDITURE CAUSES INCREASE. The monthly meeting of the Hoylake and West Kirby District Council was held last evening, the chairman. Mr. J. W.
Allen, presiding. The annual statement of accounts was submisted by Mr. Englich, who congratulated the district upon the satisfactory, position of affairs. He said the committees had adhered to their estimates very well, but there was one item over which the Council had DO direct control, and which called for serious consideration. That was the amount they had to pay in respent of the Wirral Joint Hospital Board.
It was growing by leaps and bounds, and during the last twelve months had increased by 25 per cent. more than they had estimated. The amount of deficiency was £203, so that if it had not been for the Joint Hospital Board account the estimate would have exactly covered their expenditure. The district was improving, and houses were letting better, that the prospects for nest year were very good. The profits on the electricity undertaking were being devoted to the reduction of the capital expenditure, so that the outlay bad been reduced from £54,000 to £42,000.
That was a good thing, inasmuch as the ratepayers in a few years would be the possessors of a very handsome asset. The total amount for nest year was £19,500, which necessitated a rate of 4s 3d in the pound, an increase of 1d on last year. He moved the rate. Mr. Bland seconded, and the motion was unanimoualy agreed to.

He quoted the case of a sailoz whose matrimonial home was in Hong Kong. The proceedings were 80 long, cumbersome, and costly that both the plaintiff and the co-respondent became bankrupt. He suggested that the trial ought to be allowed to take place wherever the parties happened to be. Mr. J.
Roberts, the clerk to the justices at Newcastle, then continued his evidence, He was opposed to the proposal to transfer the present jurisdiction of the justices to the county court, In his opinion, the principal causes of the differences between husbands and wives were improvident marriages, Witness was nest examined on the sub jeet of divorce. There appeared to be, he said, a general consensus of opinion amongst clerks to justices that reasonable facilities should be granted to the poorer classes to obtain that redress which on account of expense at present incurred they were de barred from obtaining. Subject to proper and eficient safeguards he did not why courts of summary jurisdiction should not have jurisdiction in cases where the parties earned up to £2 or even £3 a week. Witness suggested that the wife should, in the dis cretion of the court, be entitled to divorce on the ground of adultery alone on the part of the husband. Mr.
W. Barradale, clerk to the Birmingham justices, did not approve of extending divorce jurisdiction to county courta, BOXED HIS WIFE'S EARS. REVELATIONS IN MATRIMONIAL SUIT. REMARKABLE CHARGE AGAINST HUSBAND. ECHO" PRIVATE WIRE.) In the Divorce Court, today, before the president (Sir Samuel Evans), Hugh Robert Fowler, of Lee-on-the-Solent, petitioned for the dissolution of his marriage on the ground of the alleged misconduct of his wife with William Eason, who was stated to be an officer in the Royal Marine Light Infantry.
The charge was denied, and the respondent made counter allegations of crueity, deser. tion, and misconduct against her husband. Before evidence was called, Mr. Warren, for the respondent, asked that all ladies should be ordered out of court. Mr.
Bayford, who appeared for the petitioner, said he knew nothing in the evidence of such nature as to justify the application of his learned friend, but his lordship, without comment, directed the ladies should leave the court. The petitioner stated that at the time of his marriage, in 1892, he was managing director of the Steam Joinery Company, and he lived at Gosport. In 1894 be made the acquaintance of the co-respondent, who became a constant visitor at the house, and was received by himself and his wife as an honoured guert. On one occasion he happened to look through the drawingroom window, and saw his wife sitting on Mr. and when Eason's knee.
He very indignant, he met his wife he boxed her ears. The co-respondent went away before he could him. The respondent assured him that at the most she had been guilty of a foolish act, she and did hoped not he would let the matter want scandal in the place. pass, Mr. together, and Mrs.
Fowler did not live happily and in March, 1900, petitioner went leaving his South wife Africa with the Yeomanry, About six months later he invalided at a place called Hedge End. home, and found that his wife had been travagant, and that there was some talk to who his used wife's conduct with the co-respondent, to call in the husband's absence. Subsequently petitioner, having obtained commission in the Yeomanry, returned to South Africa, not coming back again till late in 1901, an invalid. Subsequently Mrs. Fow.
went to South Africa, where abe got employment, and it was arranged that petitioner should follow her, if he could get a situation. Towards the end of 1908 occurred an incident which led to extraordinary charges by the wife against ber husband. One day, in Sep. tember, 1908, the wife's brother called petitioner and suggested Mr. Fowler should commit misconduct, so that his wife might obtain divorce.
The petitioner indignantly rejected the suggestion, and would have nothing to do with it, simply making re mark to the effect that abe herself, if she wanted a divorce, might commit misconduct with a butcher'e boy. Thai incident was nOW made one of the acts of cruelty alleged against the husband. Petitioner had iDquiries made about his wife, and ascertained that in his absence abroad, when Mrs. Fowler was moving from Salisbury Green to Hedge End, the co-respondent was at the house, and there could be no doubt as to their relations. Plaintiff, in the witness denied that he had been guilty of intemperance or cruelty, with the exception of the occasion when he bosed his wife's ears.
