A young man, for Instance, found himself aboard ship, homeward bound, his passage paid, but without money for Incidental expenses and for land ing. He knew that his mother was on an easyjound ship. The probable date and hour of" the meeting of the two vessels being calculated, the pur ser of the eastbound ship was Instruct ed to lay the unfortunate's case before his mother. It took but a few minutes for her to place the money In the hands of her purser, who Instructed the purser of the westbound liner to pay it to his passenger. The dramatic rescue of 600 passen. gers from the American steamboat Providence, while she was within a few miles of the spot where the Ill fated General Slocum was burnt to the water's edge with a loss of 1000 lives, Is credited to wireless telegra phy. Fire broke out In the main deck of the Providence Just before dawn, while the" steamboat was on her way to New York. The flames spread rapidly and smoke quickly filled the upper decks awakening the 600 pas sengers, many of them women and children. The Richard Peck of New Haven, was two miles ahead. She was sum moned by wireless telegraphy and was signaled to stand by. The two steamboats were soon brought to gether, gangways were run from boat to boat, and all. the 600 passenger Were transferred from the smoke- filled Providence without mishap. A proposal of marriage has even been made by wireless telegraphy. A young New Yorker, who was very much in love with a Philadelphia woman, saw her off with her mother to Europe, from the former city. A Philadelphia man of good fortune and handsome, was going by the same bo.it, and was very attentive to her. The young New Yorker would have put her feelings for him to the test before the boat sailed, but her mother gave him no opportunity. In an agony of. apprehension lest the handsome Phlladelphlan should steal a march on him during the voy. age, and carry off the prize, the young fellow sent a Marconlgram to the younir lady, asking her If she would many him on her return. ' He recelv. ed an answer the same day, and it was one which gave him every satisfaction.
