THAT TERRIBLE NORTH 00AST.
Shipwreck and Suffering of Hapless
Mariners.
David Lowe, a seaman on the
bark Thomas Jl. Foster, which
vessel was wrecked on Vancouver
Island, has arrived in San Fran
cisco and tells the story of the
wreck. He shipped at Port Town
bend hist December. The ship
sailed from Esquimalt December
Oth. There were eighteen people
on board all told, the captain, two
mates, carpenter, cook, cabin boy,
and twelve seemen, six in each
watch. "When the vessel sailed a
heavy sea was running outside,
and she experienced a succ ssion
of gales. Heavy seas were
shipped, the cargo shifted and the
vessel became waterlogged and
lay on her beam ends. The pumps
were worked with all possible in
dustry' to keep her afloat. After
four days and nights of pumping
the vessel was run ashore. This
occurred December 18th. At
about -1 r. m. a hidden rock was
Struck. The vessel was broadside
oil. The crew went ashore in a
small boat through the breakers,
and in about an hour all were
landed. They had lor provisions
half a box of tea, one box of soda
crackers and thirty tins of stuff, in
cluding sardines, pig's leet, peach
es, apples, mincemeat, etc. The
vessel was then full of water and
breaking up. The landing was
effected in a wild and desolate
place.
"The next day the captain said
if a party went up north they
would be sure to find Indians.
The second mate and three men
started to walk north on Sunday.
"We divided our stock of provis
ions, and they took two tins of
peaches and twenty-five soda
crackers each with them. Two
days afterward they returned.
They had traveled twenty miles
and come to a high bluff covered
with brush and could go no fur
ther, so they came back. They
staid in camp all night. Next day
the second mate and three men,
myself among them, started south
ward to endeavor toariiako Cape
Beale. It was snowing and very
cold, and we had no shelter aud
few clothes, and had canvas
wrapped round our feet in place (
shoes. "We took five tins of food
along, including one tin of pig's
feet. Three sacks of flour washed
ashore, and in an old tin pan that
lloateu asnoie we bakea some
cakes and took them with us. We
got mussels off the rocks, and if it
were not lor them we should
have starved to death. The day
after we left we came to a deserted
Indian fishing camp, where tho
Indians came to fish in summer.
It was on the point of an inlet.
"We walked three days to the head
of the inlet when we came, to a
fresh "water river that we could
not cross. We went back down
the inlet ajrain and build a taft of
loose wood, tying it together with
the strings of our bundles. We
then started to paddle across the
inlet, and when half-way the raft
Droke adrift, and we all got astnde
of one log and paddled ashore to
wliere we started. We came back
to the fishing camp and found two
canoes. We lashed them together
catamaran fashion, and after wait
ing five or six days for fine weath
er, started across the inlet, a dis
tance of twenty miles. One
hundred yards from shore heavy
rollers came over us, and the ca
noes "went down stern first and we
had to swim for our lives. Two
men then returned to the camp
and told our comrades we could
not cross the inlet. Then there
was some growling, and all the
grub was divided up into eighteen
parts, each man getting his share
and intending to seek his own sal
vation. Eight men came to us
from the camp, making ten in our
party then. We went one day's
walk up the inlet and built three
rafts, two to carry four men and
one two men. The inlet was six
miles across. We made paddles
and at daylight started across. I
was on the small raft with another
man. We saw tho two rafts, as
we thought, being carried to sea,
so wepaddled against the current,
got to the fresh water river and
"gol " across. The two rafts got
stuck ashore on some rocks in the
middle of the channel. At noon
the men jonlhe rock saw two ca
noes with -Indians coming out in
the inlet to fish."
The Indians succored them, and
Father Nicolaye, a Catholic priest,
bad them go in five canoes to
Clayoquot. There they stayed
forty-three days, being well cared
for. The' were taken -on board
and carried to Victoria by the
steamer- Sir James Douglass,
which had been sent to their relief.
TTEED OP MARBIED LIFE.
But His Trick to Get Away Tailed
to Work.
Chicago News.
The following dispatch is pub
lished from Winnipeg: "A mys
terious murder occurred here yes
terday morning. C. A. Schofield,
bookkeeper for McMillan Bros.,
flour mill owners, was at work un
til a late hour Saturday night,
posting his books. Schofield was
not at home yesterdaj and search
was instituted. Investigation
showed that he had been murdered
at his desk. The furniture in the
office was broken and covered with
blood, showing that a struggle had
taken place. A trail of blood led
to a hole in the icQ of the river,
and it is supposed that the body
had been thrown into the hole af
ter the murder. About $100 had
been taken from the safe. A dirk
covered with blood was found
near the river. Schofield was
thirty-five years old, and leaves a
young wife. Miller, the night
watchman, has been arrested, but
protests his innocence. The river
is being dragged for tjie body."
Schofield is now in a cell in the
Minneapolis lockup. A detective
went out to Rogers station, on tin
Manitoba train on which, according
to a Winnipeg dispatch, the assus
sin of Schofield was s.upposod to
be. He was arrested, brought
here, and a roll of Canadian cur
rency -amounting to '2,0:15, taken
from his pocket. The prisoner
then astonished the detective by
remarking:
"I am the man supposed to have
been murdered. I went to the
office Saturday night and slaught
ered two chickens, scattering their
blood over the furniture, and after
wards took them to the river nnd
dumped them through the ice.
The money is all my own, except
b. I resorted to this method to
escape Irom domestic trouble."
The Western Settler's Cho-ien Specille
With eery aihance of emigration Into the
fat Weit, a new demand is created for Ilos
telteis Stomach Bitters. Newly peopled
regions are frequently less salubrious than
older settled localities, on account or the
miasma which llses from recently cleared
land, particularly along tho banks of livers
that are subject to freshets. Tho agiicul
tural or mlniqg emigrant soon learns, hen
he does not already know, that the Bitters
altord the only sure protection against ma
laria, and those disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, to which climate changes,
eposure, and unaccustomed or unhealthy
water or diet subject him. Consequently,
he places an estimate upon this great house
hold specille and preentive commensurate
with Its Intrinsic merits, and is careful to
keep on hand a restorative and promoter of
health so Implicitly to he relied upon hi
time of need.

SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR
For all Diseases of the
Liver, Kidneys, Stomach and Spleen,
This purely vegetable pre-
f oration, now so celebrated as a
'amily Medicins, originated in
the South in 1828. It act
gently oa the Bowels and
Kidneys and corrects the
action of the Liver, and is, there
fore, the best preparatory
medicine, whatever the sick
ness may prove to be. In ait
common diseases it will, un-
assisted, by any other medi
cine, effect a speedy euro.
The Regulator is safe to administer in any
condition of the system, and under no circum
stances can it do liarm. It will invigorate
like a glass of wine, but is no intoxicatinz bever
age to lead to intemperance ; will promote di
gestion, dissipate headache, and gener
ally tone up tho system. The dose is small,
not unpleasant, ana its irtues undoubted.

I have been practicing medicine for twenty yean,
and have never been able to Dut un a vegetable
compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu

ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the
