Derelict Vessels Aro a Const jint Men ace to Shipping. (From New York Evening Post.) It Is hard to understand how the ship owners and seamen of tho At lnntlc Coast over got along without tho Sonecn, guardian of tho sous and destroyer of derelicts. Whcnovcr tho crackle of tho wireless brings news of tho presence of some drifting huik plunging about in tho chop of the unit Stream or wallowing keel-up In the direct pnth of the ocean grey hounds off tho Newfoundland bunks, tac Sonoca weighs anchor and puts to son under all Btcani, bent on Its allot ted tusk of keeping clear the wuys of tho ships. In tho course of its brief career and It has not been In com mission three years It has done more to preserve the safety of those who trust their lives to tho deop than nil the other preventive agencies. The Seneca's tnsk Is not easy, for It deals with the most dctcstablo foe tho soa provides. The derelict lias been called tho vampire of tho ocoan, nnd the term Is held to bo well ap plied by those who havo mot these rolling sea monsters. Thero Is some thing terrifying about tholr bulk, their unennny longovlty, buffeted, as they hnvo boon, by tho storm nnd abandoned by men! about their un natural power of resistance to nil de stroying forces; oven about their ul timate doom. Hulks With Histories. Yet each derelict, rcpulBlvo as sho mny ho, has hnd a history a hlBtory Including nt least one tragedy. Kip ling, In his poem, tho "Derelict," hns told her story: I was tho Btaunchest of our fleet Till tho sea rose beneath our feet Unheralded, In hatred past all mensuro Into Ills pits ho stamped my crow, Huffoted, blinded, bound and throw, Ulddlng mo, eyeless, wait upon his pleasure Hero Is tho btory of a typical dere lict. Off tho coast of Uattcras, that graveyard of ships sluco tho days when tho lilgh-poopod flcots ot Ra leigh caroonod pnst on tholr way to thu Spanish Main, a schooner, with nil sails roofed down, is boring dog gedly Into tho hoart of a wild north easter. Tho wind sings through the cordage, tho waves tnresh Its sides with trlp-hummor blows, opening Its seams and making It gronn with ag ony. Hour after hour thu vessel fights to keep Us hoad to tho wind, but at Inst tho erow becomo exhaust ed. They nro unnblo to contlnuo tho tight; tho olomouts triumph over them. Their vessel falls into tho trough nnd rolls clumsily to and fro. In tho eyes of tho crow thu fight Is over, and they nbuudon tho vessel for their lifeboats, solzlng only such things as they can carry In tholr hands. Tho ship's dock beams aro awash, and, as tho men In tho life boats pull awny through tho scarcely abated storm, they look to seo It tako tho last plunge with overy moment. 13 at it is still thoro when tho scud ding spray closes over tho picture, still rolling nlong with that Blcken Ing motion that reminds ono of nn ovor-tlrcd horso.

Ono day, years ago, tho American Lino stcnmshlp St. Louis came Into port with a tale of having sighted a tramp steamer wallowing along Its port side, Us hull salt-enerustod and red with rust, stunchions and deck fittings hanging In shreds nml half: of Its funnel pendulous from Its lower stays. Scampering over tho listed decks was a great army of rats, lean, gray coated sea rats, that fought and nto each other with dumb ferocity while tho ship that had been their home drifted aimlessly along. Many a good ship has met Its end In the night when some lunging phantom slipped bonrnth lis bows and thou bounced nwny ngaln.

He never walled or moaned or Bworo; Hut snld, "As you go out don't slam the door." Tho other boys about tho place Did not go moiling much that day. Thoy laughed and said good-byo, and drew Tholr pay. 7 Ho thought; "Thoy do not roullzo That I havo left them to tholr fate, So much tho hotter; let them laugh; Dut wait!" V And then ho ambled down tho street, And confidently told tho town, "Now, fellows, watch and seo tho boss Fall down."

If thero Is any ono thing moro than another, in this vale of tears, that fills my bouI with Joy, It Is to got something for nothing, something without Its costing me a slnglo cont. Or Is It a slight token of appreciation on your part for long years of foalty spent In sliding down your political collnr door? indeed, I urn touched, touched to think of tho strings of dried pump kin that will adorn my huniblo cot tago on Pony Slough, from collnr to garret, in tho gloaming, and for my proportion of your paltry annual sal ary of $8700.
