We could do nothing. The southwest wind again blew us on the spit, where the ship remained until ; broken to piece. 1 "When she hit we rushed to the ' boats, trying for half an hour to launch one. It was Impossible. The sea would flood them faster than we could ball It out. The distress signals were blowing, but as the boat was leaking. It would soon stop.

In New York upward of 200.000 per sons were arraigned before the police magistrates during the year 1910, and another 100.000 were probably brought Into their courts by summons. Over this huge army of people, many of whom are entirely Innocent of any offense, the magistrates exert an almost undisputed sway, for their decisions are In nine cases out of ten absolutely final. In other words, they pass Judgment upon the personal liberty and rights of more than 25,000 citizens every month of the year, and save In a few instances their decisions are accepted without ap peal or review of any kind. No other tribunal in the land administers Jus tice on so vast a scale or exerts any thing even approaching so unbridled a power.
