causes unnecessary alarm and does
no good. When there is s case of

not so fortunate, 03 she stuck hard
and fast One of the hands who was
trying to push her back with a pole,
said she was stuck in the fog, bat the
leadsman proved she was aground that
time, because bis lead line nad tan
gled in the brush. The passengers
said sneb a puffing, and blowing and

But it was of no use until the tog lifted

ST0BT OF THE ".AFTON"
Providential Eseapa of The Crew to Two
Ship's Boats.
In conversation yesterday with
Capt Gilmour of the Assel, he gave
us some particulars of the loss of the
bark Afton then under his command,
which in many points perhaps has
never been parallelled.
In Marob. last year, in a dense fog,
the Afton bound for San Diego, CaL,
struck on a coral reef off the island of
Liaianski, about 800 miles west of
Honolulu, S. I. The ship floated off
the reef, but in suoh a leaky condi
tion it became necessary to abandon
her. The ship's company all told,
numbered nineteen. They took the
two best boats, and with the captain
in charge of one and the mate the
other, they left the ship to her fate.
The wind not favoring their course
to Honolulu, they were compelled to
take the trade winds in the opposite
direction. For 29 days they sailed
on and on, and strange to relate, dur
ing all this time they made 3,000
miles, the two boats never parting
company till -they both landed at
Guan, one ot the Ladrone islands.
About three weeks after leaving the
vessel, the mate, standing up to take
off hia coat, by a sudden lurch of the
boat fell overboard, he sank and was
never seeu to rise to the surface.
The shipwrecked mariner suffered
greatly from thirst in this tropical
olimate, and for some time before
reaohing land, their allowance was
reduced to a pint of water a day each.
Each boat had been supplied with
three bags of hard bread, and by ju
dicious management lasted them till
they landed.
How Ken Sir.
If we know all the methods of ap
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases a little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
Cold or any tronble of the Throat or
Luugs, give that old and wellbnown
remedy Boschee's German Syrup, &
careful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene
factor of any home"

Thanksgiving Service To-day at The
Presbyterian Church.
By mutual arrangement among sev
eral of the pastors ot the churches in
this city, Thanksgiving service will
be held at eleven o'clock this morn
ing, in -the Presbyterian church.
Bev. A. Leltoy, the eloquent pastor
of the Baptist church, has been se
lected to preach the Thanksgiving
sermon. It has been customary at
this annual service to take up a col
lection for some benevolent purpose;
on this occasion it will be donated to
the Astoria Yonng Mon's Chritstinn
Association, and will be worthily be
stowed, as all the work of this associ
ation ot yonng men, is benevolent
work. Its comfortable reading room,
well equipped gymnasium, organized
classes for useful instruction, and
other commendatory features; all
cost money to support, and are all
open to young men, at their; extremo
minimum cost, and in addition calls
for temporary financial assistance
from worthy young" men seeking em
ployment, is of common occurrence,
the society therefore, is eminently
deserving of pecuniary support from
this community.
To add to 'the interest ot the exer
cises in the Presbyterian .church to
day, Mr. N. H. Jaoks, a young gentle
man especially identified with Y. M.
C. A. work, who arrived in this city
yesterday, an d who is tho recognized
traveling secretary of the association
ot the Pacific northwest, will deliver
a short address, in presenting' the
claims for public support ot this use
ful Christian organization.

A new stylo ot lifeboat has been

They are much lighter than those

stations on the Pacific
It is not known yet whether a life
saving station will be erected at Point
Barrow, Alaska, or not. A petition
for it has been sent from whalers in
New 'Bedford.- The "superintendent
is in favor ot establishing a.harbor of
