Conciliation Board — RESUMPTION OF NEGOTIATIONS TO-DAY The Welsh Coal Trade Conciliation Board meets to-day to resume the negotiations for the new agreement. So far aesolutely all the points at issue remain unsettled, and the j situation is. therefore, becoming d i sconcert- ing, as week after week passes and meetings alter meetings are being held, with the same result. There is no question that both parties have placed their demands very high, and the work of harmonising these conflicting elements has, consequently, been rendered all the more difficuit. On the two questions already under discussion the men's repret-en- fatives have given way just a. little, and in lcgard to the minimum and its equivalent i-eliing price of coal they have gone to the extent of agreeing- to a revision of the exist- ing figure of lis. icd. per ton as the equiva- lent of the minimum of 30 per cent., and to the substitution therefor of a selling price ot 12s £ d. per ton as the equivalent of the pro- posed minimum of 40 per cent, above the tiandard of 1379. "flicn, again, on the ques- tion of payment to colliers engaged in rbnormai places they have, by counter-pro- posal", inferentially assented to a, modilica- tion oi the original demand of a. unilorm let-e u Vy.

The inspector tuid prisoner was born in 1885 a.t o61, Main-street, Staunton, iVrgini.a, U.S.A., his father being George Kearns, a. book- keeper. and his mother an American subject. He Iliad two brothers, one a mechanical engi- neer. and the other was in the American Navy. At the age of thirteen prisoner ran "way from home to .Savannah, Georgia, about JVí) miles from Staunton. Then he joined the American Navy, which he had to leave in coi:t;equenee of misconduct. lie was then aged fifteen, and and his discharge took place at Newport, Eihoda, Island. Afterwards he jollied the steamship Alva as fireman, and went. to Hamburg. Finally he came to Oar- diff, and had since been thirteen times before the court. His offences included robbery with violence, for which he received twelve months. On one occasion he took a man to an hotel, stayed the night with him, and robbed him. During the seven ;¡;ea.rs he had been in Cardiff he had only done five-and-a-haif months' work. The inspeotor said the head-constable strongly pressed the application for a deportation order, as Johnston was one of the woret or■ miiia-is in the city.

OHURCH AND MARRIAGE I Speaking at an English Church cni. meet- ing at Worksop on the marriage question, the Duke of Newcastlo said nothing could make up for any compromise Tfith lax treat- ment of the Church's moral laws. Church- men must, be united on this point, and resist to the utmost any tampering with the mar- riage laws of the Chnrch. The State might enact any law it pleased, but they must resist to the death any attempt t4 force upon the Ohurhc anything which was directly at variance wLh her own laws. lhey had seen- in England and elsewhere the iaiuentable results of the jnere^ise of divorce, and now they were ia/e to face with the Deoeaeed Wife's Sister Act. Mr. Athelstau Riley, who also spoke, s'aid no sect, however obscure, would submit to such dictation as that Bought to be imposed on the Church of England.

"Financial Chaos" The popular instinct which snys "Veto first" is right (says the "Daily Chronicle"). This is not to say that the Budget for 1909- 1910 will not be re-introduced until the veto of the peers has been limited. The financial year is fast running out. Between now and the end of M aroh no less a sum than £ 27,OCO,€CO of Income-tax remains to be collected. The Budget alone gives validity to several direct and indirect taxes, and failure to pass it before the financial year ends would mean that the Treasury would have to reimburse many million" that have been paid in respect of tea, spirits, tobacco, and income-tax. We are threaTened, in fact, with something like financial chaos. The Supplies voted by the Commons last year and withheld by the Ivords have just been emphatically approved by the nation. Obviously, then. they ought at the earlie.,Ft possible moment to be voted afresh by the new House of Commons. Therefore, tho old Budget first and then the Lords' veto. Were it possible to finish off the veto problem in a week or two something could be said for the opposite policy of subordinating even the 1909-1910 Budget to the primacy of the House of Lords question. But let there be no mistake. This veto question is not a, simple one, and it can't be solved by a single blow. Office for Mr. Mond ? There are rumours that Mr. Alfred Mond may go on the front bench isays a "Daily Express" k-.orresvincl-ent But- then, too, there are rumours wh" contradict this intere,, ting statement. Anything, indeed, may happen. Understanding Exists ? 1 An audience of the King by the Premier is generally regarded as essential to a com- plete understanding of the situation; but the belief prevails in the best-informed circles (neyo; the "Birmingham Daily Post") that his Majesty and his first Minister arrived, before the dissolution, at a general basis of agreement respecting the line the Cabinet might pursue in regard to the revived Finance Bill of 1909-10 and its recep- tion by the House of Lords in case the (JoVernmeut retained a, House of Commons majority. Liberals Perturbed'? There is a nuemrous and powerful section of Liberals which counsel moeration and see clearly the greit difficulties which lie before the Prime Minister. Their argument is that in the struggle with the Lords Mr. Asquotli must prooe-ed by Bill; that the drafting of such a Bill will need at least a month's care- ful preparation, and that, even when drafted, it will, like Mr. Lloyd George's Budget, be subject to a.mendment in the House. The Opposition- will (the "Standard" declares) certainly prepare a counter-stroke in the sha.pe of a plan for t,he reform of the House of Lords, and it is expected the issue before the electors will not be the Peers Y. the People, as the* Unionists will bring forward the issue: A SeconS Chamber or no Second Chamber. The silence of the Unionists is causing no litle perturbation, and Radicals are nervously expecting-a surprise from Mr. Balfour. An amendment to the address in the Commons in favour of drastic reform of t,he House of Lords or the immediate intro- duction in the Lords of a Reform Bill is one of the many plans ascribed by them to the Opposition. MR. ASQUITH'S RETURN Mr. Asqtiitli returned to London last evening from the Continent, arriving at Oharing Cross at 5.15. Wearing a low-crowned bowler hat and his favourite motoring fur- oollared overcoat, he mingled with the passengers and railway officials at Dover and at the London terminus practically unrecog- nised. At Charing Cross the Prime Minister was met only by Mr. Vaughan Nash and Mr. R. S. Meiklejohn, two of his private secretaries. He at once entered his motor- car and drove with Mr. Nash to Downing- street. Mr. Asqulth was looking exceedingly well, his trip to the Riviera. having. com- pletely removed the pallor which waa noticeable when the late Parliament closed. A couple of prominent suffragettes were upon the pla.tform at Charing Cross. but they made no attempt to approach the Premier. A little later they appeared in Downing-street, but contented themselves with walking past Mr. Asquith's official residence, and made no sort of demonstra- tion. Up to the present no arrangements have been made for an audience by Mr. Asquith with the King, but it is understood that an interview with his Majesty will take place either in London or at Brighton. The Budget May Take First Place The Press Association savs there is now reason to believe that the first business in the House of Commons after the Address has been disposed of will be the re-introduction of the Budget. A considera.ble section of Liberals are, it is true, urging the Govern- ment to at once introduce and press forward a Bill limiting the veto of the House of Lords, but the grave necessity of putting public revenue un a satisfactory basis will doubtless be pleaded as of itself sufficient answer to charges of selling the pass," A delay eTen of a. few weeks in legalising the collection of income-tax may at this period of the year involve a loss extending into millions of pounds. No doubt, in the debate on the Address Mr. Asquith and other members of the Cabinet, while making it clear that in their view the re-submission of the Budget to the House of Lords involves no surrender of the claim that in matters of finance the House of Commons is paramount, will also indicate the means to be taken towards securing a change of the relations between the two Houses. Thus at the earliest possible moment the question which must dominate the coming session of Parliament will in any oadfe have been raised, and it is more than likely that, after the reference to recent events in the King's Speech and Ministerial pronouncements as to the future, the questions of the Budget before the veto or the veto before the Budget will appear of very small moment.

Seine Again Rising I I LOW-LYINC COUNTRY UNDER WATER PARIS, Tuesday. Owing to a renewal of heavy raiuo. the Sein4 and its affluents are rapidly rising again, and a renewal of flood troubles is threatened. It is feared tha-t witbdu three days the Seine will reaoh a height of six metres iu Paris, equalling the floods of 1882 and 188w, which were regarded as dierajstrous. The situation in the Rhone basin is also very disquieting, and alarming news comes from Besancon, where all the low-lying; country is under water. In the Depa.rt.mont of Ain several rivers have swollen 1'0 much that they have over- flowed their banks, whilst the situation in the e-aet is also grave in consequence of the sudden overflew of the Rivers LMeurthe and ¡ Moselle.—Central News,

Children's Suicides I TERRIBLE DRAMA AT A BALL -1 A terrible drama recently occurred at St. Petersburg at a ball given by the 00lm8 Ty?kevitch for young, people, which resulted in the death of a young gentlemaji and lady belonging to two of the most historio families in Russia. During the ball a scream was heard, imme- dia;tely followed by. a revolver shot. It was then discovered that in one erf the corners of the saloon a young "cavalier," only fifteen years of age, and belonging to the noble family of Barjat-insky. had shot himself through the heart with a revolver. The youth died immediately, without saying any- thing further than the words, I could not do otherwise!" During the panic (says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette") which followed a young lady," only four- teen years of (the Baroness von Pahlen), hastily swallowed a small pastille. A few minutes after ahe fell on the floor a corpse, for the pastille was poisoned. The suicide of young people of both sexes is every year becoming more frequent ■ Ln Russia. Tbe lea,.4t reverse, even the failure to pass an examination, is sufficient for these old-youn g-people of our day to make an end of themselves.

CREATED BARONET AT SIX I Sfr Coleridge Kennard, the co- oil t in the Buckley diivoreo ca-e, was made a haronet in his sixth year. His jjaternal grandfather, Mr. C. L. Kennand. who was member for Salis- bury from 1883 till 1835, died in 1890, before the Tiatent of the baronetcy about to he eon- ferecl on him was enrolled. The baronetcy wa.s soon after given to his grandson—his son having preiky-ea^d bim-who was then only a little boy of five, and L- it, wido w was granted the rank and tile title and precedence of the widow of a baronet.

I Ladies' Gifts to Servant REMARKABLE ACTION BY EXECUTORS I An extraordinary story of the relation between two ladies. now dead, and a man- servant wa- told to Mr. Justice Swinfen-Eady hi the Chancery Division on Tiieq(lay. An action brought by Mr. Arthur Lucas. Mr. Arthur Cohen, K.C.. the Earl of Hosebery, and Lord Rotbscliild. the executors cf the of Miss Lucy Cohen, who died on Novem- Î;pr ¿, :,),:5, ant! by Mr. I.uca- as the t-ur- viving e.wutor of Miss Anna Louisa Cohen. • v no died on October .20, 1902. against ilr. ] of The Hall, Wivelslield' ^n.-sex. At". ( jtjoiitt. for plaintiffs, said the defen- dant. "a, a yjei-on who for some twenty y<'a t's acted at- the manager, adviser, coufi- "K-ntial agent, and factotum of both ladies down to 19')2. and of Ali-ss Lucy Cohen after- w'a In that capacity there pad tinough his hands during the sixteen year-, l!egin;:ing in the middle of 1830. and ending sums amounting in all to •i-iO/XK) lieionging to the t.wo ladies—the bnikof it to Miss Lucy Coheu-, for which the Plaintiffs "aid he ought to account, but in the course of his connection witn the two ladies he obi-lined from them very large gilts. He liim-elf admitted ,hat the gifts be so ootained 111 the con is? cf :,ell \ears or so exceeded ^.60.0(50--the jjluiiitisi.u'd very con- siderably exceeded, and were more like On Octoo-er -5. 1907, about a. year after Miss I.ucJ' Cohen's death, the defendant wrote to one of the executors com 1 da ining that the claims ne made against the estate had not been settled, and that claims had been made against him. He wrote:— In other respects I have been treated' more like a criminal than the confidential friend and tigeiit of Misn Lucy Cohen, IJ the position I have had the honour to hold for nearly 20 years. During the whole of the 20 years the remuneration defendant received from the ladies amounted to fl.tOO a year, besides the income he Was deriving from those gifts, some' of which were made to him as early as 1891. j The defendant, in his defence to the action, denied that lie waa in a confidential position, j lie alleged that the relation between him and the two ladies was, and continued to be, that of servant and employer, and he was never; in the position to exercise undue influence over them, nor was the relation between him and tliem that of confidence, as was alleged or implied in the claim. He .aid he never acquired any influence, much less complete ascendancy. From Second Footman to Butler -N' I'. Upjohn then traced the relations between the ladies and the defendant, which began in 1870. The elder lady, iliss 'Louisa Cohen, must then have been about 34 years of age, and Miss Lucy some three or four years younger. The two ladies were then living with their mother, Mrs. Cohen, and an uncle and aunt, John Samuel and Rebecca Samuel, in Park-lane. In that year the defendant was about seventeen years of age, and he entered the service of the house- hold as second footman. In 1874 he was promoted to valet to Mr. John Samuel, and a little later he was further promoted to be butler. Mrs. Cohen died in 1879. In 1885 the defendant married the lady's maid. and ceased to be employed as a house servant.. He and his wife took a lease in the immediate neighbourhood. o. 71. Curzon street, and increased their income by letting apartments. Some arrangement seemed to have been made so that he should act as house steward at a salary of X200 a year. When once he got bold of the salary he had it paid down to the death of Miss Lucy Cohen, although he had long ceased to perform the duties. In September, 1887, Mr. John Samuel died. The uncle left a legacy of £ 300 to the defendant, and tlle two ladies paid him an extra £ 200. He said the ladies voluntarily agreed to pay his rent at 71. Onrzon-strfpt. which was another £ 200. The lease of the Curzon-street house ran out, and the defendant went to another house, but the L200 went on and somewhat later an j a rraugement was said to have been made under which he received a.nother £ 200 a year. Ife had a family, and each Miss Cohen stood godmother to each of the two elder daughters. The suggestion war; now made that the two ladies agreed to pay the defendant £200 a year for dressing and educating the two children, who must have been of the mature years of three and five. That £ 2C0 a year went on until the (leat-li of Mrs. Lucy Cohen, although the two girls married in the Ia-d, lifetime, and received kl,OW and their trousseaux from Mitis Lucy Cohen. By the veat 1891 the defendant was receiving 'an income of £600 a year from the two ladies. Counsel read correspondence, which he said showed that the position of the defendant was one of confidential adviser, agent, and facto- tum of those ladies. < Mr. Arthur Lucas, one of the plaintiffs, said he was second cousin to the deceased ladies, and was their intimate friend. Miss Louia Cohen was tabout 68 years when she died, and Miss Lucy 66. Immediately after Miss Lucy's death be heard for the first time of the gifts to Bradly, who himself told him that hf> had received about £ 60,000. The ladies, he said, had told him that they intended to remember him in their will, but he replied that they might remember him in their life- time. The hearing was ad journed.

LATE MR. R. FORREST Great Gathering at the Funeral. IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY AT I' ST. FAGAN'S. the late Mr. Robert Forrest had been asso- ciated in so many directions with the public, industrial, and social life of South Wales, and his genial personality had be?n prominent and appreciated in connection with important movements for so iiiny years, that a large. representative 'lilu iing was naturally j expected at the funeral ou Tuesday; but the concourse that assembled at Sr. Fa :n's- to pay their tribute. respect to his memory wa» even larger than had been anticipated. > It was a remarkable indication 01 -Vr. Forrest's popularity and a erriking proof of j the hieii estimation in which his services as a public Illan were held by the whole com- lTJitiii; v. lu 'consonance with the wishes of the bereaved family, the obsequies were of the simplest character, and the simplicity heightened the impressiveness of the. cere- monial. The body -was conveyed on a bier from Greenwood to St. Pagan'* Parish Church.' aonut 203 yards away, workmen of the Plymouth Kstate, the pall-bearers being Mr. Edward Akers i Pentrebane), Alderman Illtyd i Nir.

T. Bird (rector of st. Fagau's), who conducted the service, the Rev. Canon Buckley (who had been closely associated with Mr. Forrest in public work), the Rev. H. H Stewart (rector of Barry and the surpliced cdiurch choir. The church, with purple draping on altar, pulpit, and lectern, was already crowded to ;1.6 utmost limits, excepting thei-eats reserved for the relatives, and as the body was conveyed up the aisle the organist (Mr. W. J. Littleton) played an appropriate voluntary. The service was choral, the 90th Psalm being chanted to 1 el ton's setting, the special hymns being, "Xow the labourer's task is o'er," and "On the Resurrection morning." As the proces- sion re-formed and made it., way toA a rdc- I lie grave, at the north-east corner of the church- yard. the organ gave forth the ma jest ic strains of the "Dead March' in "Saul. As the body was lowered into the moss- lined grave a great hush fell upon the hundreds standing around, and the resonant, tuneful voice of Canon Buckley sounded clear as he pronounced the Benediction and brought to a close a very impressive cere- mony. It would be difficult to imagine a more representative gathering, deputations being present from several of the public bodies and commercial concerns with which Mr. Forrest was connected, whilst practically all the members of the Llandaff and Dinas l'owis Rural District Council, of which he had been chairman for many years, wfee present, together with a large number of the members and officials of the Cardiff City Council, the Glamorgan County Council, and the Glamorgan Chamber of Agriculture.

CHARLESWORTH SENSATION Violet & Her Mother in the Dock At Derby B.»rough Police-coait on Tue. day. ljefcre the Mayor (Dr. Arnold Bemrosei and Sir Edwin Ann. Miriam Ciiariesworth, a married woman, and her daugliter May, otherwise Yiulet Cha-riesworth, were brought up charged with unlawfully incurring a cer- tain debt a-nd liability to Martha Smith to the amount of jt.401 Is. 7d., and obtaining credit by means 01 fraud; and, further, tiiat they unlawfully on the 12th of Novem- ber, 1903, and on certain other days thereafter by mea-ns of certain false pretences did obtain from the said Martha Smitt the sum of £401 with intent to defraud; and, further, that they in the month of October, 1905 and on divers other days thereafter un- lawfully, fraudulently, and deceitfully did conspire together by divers false pretences to obtain from the said Martna Smith and from Edward Hughes Jones certain Iaigo sums of money and to cheat and defraud them thereof. Sir. William Durnford, soli- citor, of London, appeared for the defence. The Chief-constable iMr. H. M. Haywood) said he desired to say on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions that these proceedings had been taken by him on the information of Martha Smith, of 57. Victoria- terrace, Macklin-street, Derby. The nist charge was laid under the Debtors Act; the second was one of false }:\I'eteDCœ wu-n relerenoe to the same amount of money a-Meged to ?a.ve been obtained by the two women from Martha Smith; and t.b third wa? a chaige in regard to which Edward Hughes Jones was mentioned. In regard to this charge, he was requested to eta-te that t was laid as a result of certain statements made in proceedings in bankruptcy, ae to which the Public Prosecutor "aad declared: These facts disclose the obtaining of large sums of money from Jones, a medical man. at Rhyl. They are sufficient to allege con- spiracy against the defendants at Derby. The Chief-constable added that it was im- poesible to lay the whole of the evidence before the court that morning. The prisoners were only arrested on Sunday at Wind-or Cottage, Moffatt, on a warrant issued at that court on February 3. That warrant was sent to the police at Moffatt and executed, and the prisoners were received into the custody of Detective-inspector Allbutt on Monday, and brought to Derby. It would be necessary to apply for a remand for a week, and he under- stood Mr. Durnford assented to that course. to enable the defendants to prepare their defence It was hoped the case might be oom- pleted on Tuesday next in order that it mig'at be taken at the forthcoming assizes, which commenced on the Zind of February. Detective-inspector Allbutt said he received the prisoners into custody on Monday morn- ing from the Moffatt police. He cautioned them, and read the warrant over, to which they made no reply. The Chief-constable, interposing, said be should like to ask Allbutt a question whioh might have a bearing on a possible applica- tion. Were the defendants residing at Moffatt in their proper name? Allbutt: No, under the name of Cameron, Mrs. C'ha.rIe*wort-h's husband, and another daughter lived with them. DWELLING IN SECLUSION. ? I   Air. Durnford eaia uiere coum, ot course, De no question of a'remand It was anticipated that the case might be completed on Tues- day, but he had up to the present had no opportunity of obtaining any instructions from the defendants. Under the circum- stances, he must ask for bail, and in refer- ence to this he had two observations to make. The first was as Uxthe propriety of allowing bail, and the second was as to the amount. The case of the younger defendant was common property, and. although there might be some aspects of the case which would pro- bably disincline the bench to favourably con- sider the question of bail, he might point out, although they had been living in seclu- sion in Scotland under another name, the reason of that was not at all an improper one after the publicity given to the case twelve months ago. One could understand they wished to shield themselves from pctblic observation by taking that course, and, at the same time. it wa-s perfectly well known to the trustee of the creditors of Violet Charlosworth where they could be fonnd. There had been no corwealraent, of t-beir whereabouts for those entitled to know, and they had pimply done it to shield themselvv? from public curiosity. As to the amount of bail. it was. well known that the dfndant5 were in extremely diBtreoo circumstances at theryrewnt time. The ba-nkriTtcv proceedin<rs had stripped the younger defendant of every shilling of her meane. and he hoped the bench would fix bail in a modest amount, :1" any- thing more than that wonld be prohibitive. There was not the slightest danger of the police losing siirht of them. The Chief-conRta.ble said he offered no objection to bail, but he must remind the court that large sums, of money were alluded to in the charges. The Bench retired to consider the ques- tion of bail. and, on returning, the Mayor announced that the prisoners would be remanded for a week. They had decided to all#w bmil, each prisoner in her own recog- nisances of £ 200. and to provide two sureties of Z20n-or one cf £ 400 each. As the bail was not forthcoming both defendants were on Tuesday evening removed to Derby Prison.

r MISSING BAHRY MAN. I IREPORTEP CLUE AS TO HIS WHEREABOUTS. ——— Rumours are continually being circulated that Mr. David John Lewis, of Barry, assistant master at Kendriok High School. Rcadiwg (who ha-3 been missing for the fortnight), has been seen, but investigation has proved them groundless (telegraphed our Beading correspondent on Tuesday). A large crowd assembled in front o.f a lodging- house in one of the poorest streets in Read- ing-presuniably attracted there by a sugges- tion that Mr. Lewis was inside, but it proved incorrect. Notwithstandinsr. there is now hope that news will be forthcoming in a day or two as to the whereabouts of Mr. Lewis, an im- portant clue, it is stated, having been obtained. A young man closely answer- ing the description of the mining school- master was seen 0-0 the niffht of Mj-. Lewis's disappearance preaching some little distance from his lodging. The same young fellow has since been seen in a village live or six miles outside of Reading, and it is confidently believed that he is no other than the missing man.

"A Distinctly Fair Offer" 1 vvjtift reierence TO weisn s assertion mat "misleading statements have been made" with regard to his attitude towards Jim Dri- coll, we can only say that we fail to follow him (writes a referee in the "Sporting Life"\ Xo one reading the accounts of the negotia- tions can come to any conclusion other than that Welsh desired to be permitted to maul De,.F,-oll about in clinches without let or j hindrance, which would in the na,ture 01 things have given him an enormous advan- tage. Had Dn.-coil consented to any such thing he would, in our opinion, have demon Ptra-ted himself as being .fit subject for Han- well. AN Mow. however, Welsh has adopted a different attitude. I will ineet Driscoll," he says, "under regular Marquees of Queens- berry rules, without va-riaticn or emenda-j tian." This is a distinctly fair offer, and it is to be sincerely hoped Driseoll will re-con- sideT his expressed decision, for the very thought of a matoh between two such masters of the art gives one pleasant anticipatory thrills. We must, however, praise Mr. ahirley for his statement that he will not disturb Driseoll in his training for his match with Hayes, and jt. would be grossly unfair to say a.ny- thing further regarding Driscoll's part in the matter until after Monday next. Before we dismiss the subject, for the Pivernt, however, let us consider foT a moment just what the Queensberry rules, without variztion oa emendation," really do say. Here it if:- To be a fair, stand-up boxing match in a 24ft. ring, or as near that size praic-ti- cable; no wrestling, hugging, or hanging oa allowed; should a clinch occur, the men to break away immediately, and neither man must deliver a blow witbo-at both hand«! free.

TKAWLEK CREWS PERIL. I A thrilling story was told at Hull on Tues- day by the survivors of the crew of the Hull trawler Thomas Hamlin, recently lost off the south coast of Iceland, who arrived by the mail steamer from Reykjavik. The trawler struck during the night. and the crew remained on board with seas con- tinually breaking over them till dawn, when ths mate tC-opeman) managed to swim to the shore with a line. The cook, who endeavoured to save himself with the aid of a lifebelt and line, was drowned, but his comrades recovered his body. and gave it temporary burial on the "beach, afterwards exhuming it and re- in-terring it with religious rites. A terrible march across country, through swamps and streams, and over ice, was then begun, the ditiicaltiee being iucrease-a tv the fact that a deck hand named Robert Gibdon had broken a leg and had to be carried on a stretcher improvised out of polee and blankets. For ten hours the party stumbled along, but they had no fcod of a.ny kind, and at the end of that time were forced, from sheer exhaustion, to halt. So weak j were they that they were forced to disregard the piteous entreaties of the injured man Gibson, and leave him behind them. He was placed in the shelter of a hillock. At six in the morning, ten hours after leaving Gibson, the espied an Icelander's farmhouse, and managed to reach it The occupants, the farmer and his wife and two daughters, treated them with every kind- ness and sent for help, while, in the mean- time, the injured deck-hand was found and tgtou.gbt on by another Icelander. The crew were forced from exhaustion to remain at the farmhouse some days, and when at length j they started on their eleven days pony journey to Reykjavik they had to leave Gibson behind owing to his broken leg.
