"r think it was the next day that we sighted the 
Wild Rose, a big timber ship that had left Quebec ten 
days ahead of us. She was riding out the gale, hove 
to, but when they saw a little thing like us staggering 
through they thought they would make a try at it, so 
they waited for a smooth, swung her off, and squared 
away. The Wild Rose had not gone a mile when a big 
sea caught her square and almost swamped her. It 
stove in her upper works aft, washed out the bulwarks, 
carried away the deckload, and started her stanchions 
from stem to stern. They managed to heave her to 
again, and we learned afterward they were five days 
making repairs before they started to limp into port. 
"After that we fell in with an Inman liner. I forget 
her name, but it was either Iberian or Hibernian, and 
she was a crack mail steamship. She was going tlw 
same way as we were, but it's the solemn truth we kept 
her in sight four days, and we were alongside of her 
the greater part of three days, going it neck and neck, 
sail against steam. 
"Three days in succession we made exactly the same 
run^ — 366 miles of longitude. The fourth day was a 
few miles under. By the time the mail steamer was out 
of sight we were on the coast of England, and the gale 
was breaking. We made the run in eight days and 
nine hours, from the coast of Newfoundland to the 
Lizard, and if I remember right that's 2,050 miles. 
"The carrying on paid us well, too, for we sold our 
oil at £8 a ton higher than the other oil carriers. A 
fleet of them had left the same time we did, but we 
were in London two weeks ahead of any of them and 
got the cream of the market." Charles H. Snider.

Pfcsqac Isle Rifle Club. 
Erie, Pa., Aug. 1. — The club held another shoot to-day, but

This is another club that, like the yacht club, is never heard of 
outside of Erie. I got the scores for the 'first two shoots this 
summer and send them. I only send the total for each man; the 
detailed scores would occupy too much' .sjiace.
