breakers, and the ship was almost into them!
Hank knew then and there that thr ship wax doomed. A
strong wind wax blowing them straight into those breakers and
there was no sea room to make a getaway.
By this time the wind had risen to a gale and coils of halliards
and braces were being washed through the ports or over the side. At
nine o'clock the ship ran aground with a shock that sounded like the

report of a big gun. It threw the men flat on the deck and seas began
breaking over the ship, carrying away two boats, the fo'csle and galley,
and everything movable on deck.
Water began pouring into the hold. In an hour, the fore top
mast carried away and fell aft. The Stanley was rapidly breaking
to pieces.
"W e carried a crew of thirty-three,” says Hank, “ and the
captain's wife and two-year-old son were aboard. We had two
remaining boats, but there was no use trying to launch them
then. No boat could live in that sea. We were grounded off Tex-
el island, and we were all hoping that the lighthouse, located
there, would sight us and send help. But personally. 1 did not
s think the ship would hold together long.”
All day long the seas battered the ship. The water in the hold was
making the cotton and jute bales swell and the decks were bulging.
Toward night they tried to launch a boat. Hank and three other seamen
were in it when the seas began washing over it.
Hank caught a rope and was hauled aboard when the boat capsized.
The other three men were drowned.
All this time, the gale was increasing in fury. Now the chart
house was gone and the .seas were pouring into the cabin. The
last remaining lifeboat was smashed. The crew took to the rig
ging, and the captain’s wife climbed to the cross trees like a
sailor while the captain brought the baby, wrapped in a shawl.
Distress Rockets Save Endangered Men.
The fog had lifted, and they could see the lighthouse on Texel
Island, but there was no sign of help in sight. "With darkness coming
on ," says Hank. ” 1 was sure our number was up. Night fell, and still
we were marooned in the rigging. But at midnight, the wind abated
considerably. The first mate, Mr. Steeves. and I, went down into the
place where the cabins used to be and brought out a watertight case of
distress rockets."
Those rockets saved the day. They set off three in rapid
succession, and a few moments later they saw a great blue flare
go up in thr vicinity of the lighthouse—a signal that their rockets
had been seen. But could help reach them? They didn’ t know.
Morning came. Still the sea was empty and there was no relief in
Sight. But at eight o'clock they sighted a sail and in half an hour a
lifeboat from Texel island was hailing them. A line was thrown aboard,
and 16 people including the captain's wife and baby, were taken aboard.
Last Man to Jump O ff the Boat.
Sixteen was all the boat would hold. In about an hour a ship's
boat from the steamer Hercules of Amsterdam, arrived and took off the
rest of the crew, including Hank.
Hank was the last man to jump off thr ill-fated Stanley. The
boat carried them through rough seas to the Hercules, and the
Hercules landed them in Niru Dtep, Holland.
There Hank learned that the Stanley had not been the o n ly unlucky
ship in that night’ s storm. Five hundred fishermen had lost their lives
in it
Hank has quit the sea now and settled down ashore, but I wonder if
once in a while he doesn't wish he were back on a rolling deck again, in
spite of such things as gales and ships aground in the North Sea. How
about it. Hank?

Soda Water, European Discovery
Aerated water, popularly known
as soda water, such as is served at
American fountains, was a Euro
pean discovery. The great scien
tist, Priestley, discovered the meth
od in 1772. Paul of Geneva and
Schweppe of London, introduced
such water commercially in 1790.
Dr. Philip S. Physick. a Philadel
phia doctor, is regarded as the in
troducer of soda water into the
United States. In 1807 he and a
chemist,
