These rc the traced It's of the men whose lives have lieen open! in the hard find exacting servlre which the seu de inn mis. wluwe long years of loll nnd zcnl 11ml skill have brought the high responsibilities of command nnd whose careers have heen cut short by the fault of un hour-yen. even by the er ror of a minute. The old rubrle that those who never make mistakes have had few oppor tunities for making them does not ap ply here. There Is never a voynpe that does not have Its possibility of error, and In many of them arise the sudden emergencies which bring the acid test of presence of mind, cool Judgment, expert seamanship and skill Let these qualities fail the masler mariner In b's time of need. and. no matter wbat might have been the stress of body or bruin, or of both, his professional ca reer Is at an end. If the lapse Involves disaster to his ship. There Is that veteran mariner Cap tain Frederick Watklns. He It wag who commanded the City of Paris when the o!d Inninn liner came stag gering to ort with the Atlantic waves swashing about her hold nnd surging against her bulkheads, the result of a fog shrouded Impact with an Iceberg. The liner was thronged with passen gers The unforeseen danger came near to sending her and her thousand souls to the bottom, but the energy, re sourcefulness and skill of her com mander brought her safe to port a deed to be long remembered. Jt was remembered up to a few years ago. when a slight miscalcula tion on the part of Captain Watklns sent his vessel upon the Manacle rocks, on the Cornish coast. Now you may search all or the obscure places of the earth and yon may not locote him. ! J. H. HEILBRONNER & CO.

The vessel was thronged with tourists, making a Jaunt to the West Indies. Fortunately the sea was calm, and there was no difficulty In getting passengers ashore. When the last bad been safely landed the captain went to bis stateroom and put a bullet through bis brain. The pitiable part of It all was that be bad no need to. It was not the brain be shattered that was at fault, but the Kingston earthquake, which bad destroyed the lighthouse. Captain GrUllth of the Mobegan stood on the bridge of his fast sinking ship until the waters engulfed him. Deloncle of the French liner Bour gogne, sunk In mid-Atlantic by a col lision with the British steamship Cro martyshire, was last seen on the bridge, with band on whistle cord, as bis vessel took the long dive. Von Goesscl of the Elbe went down with bis ship, standing with folded arms upon the bridge as the vessel slowly sank. One of the Bnddest tragedies of the sea was the wreck ot the British steamship Walearapa, which went ashore on Great Barrier island while on a voyage from Sydney to New Zea land. As the vessel neared the en trance to the harbor of Auckland a thick fog shut Ui Captain Mcintosh, who commanded her. had been many years In the service of the line and was reputed to be very careful and capable, but while the steamer was groping ber way through the mist It was noted that be was exceedingly nervous and depressed. When nlgbt came the fog was so thick that the lookouts could not see half a ship's length ahead. A few min utes past midnight there was a sud den crash, which laid the steamship almost on ber beam ends, disabling all of the boats on the careered side. Cap tain Mcintosh was on the bridge at the time. A great wound which bad been torn In the vessel's side showed the extent of the disaster. As soon as he realized that bis ship must be come a total loss the captain strode to the end of the bridge and, exclaim ing "This Is the last watch!" plunged overboard to his death.
