Ten seamen, snatched from death in the great storm that battered the South Atlantic Coast, were brought here today by the Clyde Line steamer Mohawk.

C Originally there were 11 of the schooner's crew, all from Bath, Me. One man, a Portuguese sailor, was swept overboard when the Seavey first struck the sandbar last Saturday night. night. Captain Henry M.

The crew took refuge in the rigging, and by Mon day morning the ship began breaking up. Tuesday morning, after three ships had passed in the distance without ob serving her signals of distress, the Mohawk appeared. The rescue was as thrilling as the plight of the schooner's crew. A boat from the steamer could not get nearer the Seavey than 50 yards, and one by one the exhausted men, lashed to what was left of the schooner's rigging, un tied the ropes and threw themselves into the sea and were hauled aboard the small boat by lines thrown to them as they struggled in the tremendous waves. the superintendent of the Junction City schools, will have charge of the north- era district of Lane County, with bead- I quarters at Junct'on City, and super vising 38 districts.
