The vessel safely weathered the blow of a few days ago, which the skinver says was the worst he ever encounter- ed during all his sailing career. It tore across the bay in squalls, and carried away the Pilot's topsails and out many of her stays. The staunch little craft was on her side so much that the water was over the cover boards. The captain himself had a close shave from bein~ washed overboard and mate William Woods had his work eut out to cling to the wheel, Neither care to go through a similar experience 'again.

Harvey Solmes. a native of Prince Edward, and as popular a man as ever sailed the waters of our seas or rivers, died in Toronto, on Fri- day last, after a week's illness. He was a skilful sailor, and a trusted employee of the Niagara Navigation company. Capt. Solmes was mate on the Empress of India, and has com- manded in succession the W. H.

Deceased was cighty-two years of age last July and was widely known and highly respeet- ed in this district. He spent the most of his long life in this county, and was at one time connected with the late Hon. John Stevenson and the late J. D. Ham, Napanee, in the lum- ber business. He leaves besides his widow, two sons," Albert, in Mexico, and William, on the homestead. He was a member of the Methodist church and a life-long reformer. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon to the Eastern cemetery vault. Monday afternoon as Dr. E. Ming, Napanee, was driving from Yarker to Colebrook, he discovered a man dead, in a 'fence corner. Upon investiga- tion the man was found to be Solo- mon Ball, a resident of Colebrook. marks of violence were found on his person, and it was concluded that he died from natural caudes. He was past middle age, and the cause of death is attributed to heart failure.

A 'New Text Book to Be Issued. The. Presbyterian General Assembly's committee on Young People's Socie- ties, of which Rev. Dr. MacTavish, cf this city, is convenor, will issue at an carly date a new missionary text- book, entitled "Missionary Pathfind- ers. It will contain twenty-four short biographies of missionaries who re presented distinet types of work cither in Canada or in heathen lands. Probably the sketch which will prove most interesting to readers in this section of the country will be the one by the Rev, Dr. Gregg, of Toronto, on the life and work of Rev. R. Mec- Dowall, under title of "A Missionary With a Wide Parish." This dis tinguished pioneer had charge of the territory between Kingston and Toron- to, but his labors were confined main- ly to the district around Bath, where a beautiful memorial church was ercet- ed in his honor a few years ago. One of the finest addresses which the late Sir Oliver Mowat ever delivered was an appreciation of Mr. McDowall, at the Centenary celebration. The book will be edited by Dr. MacTavish, BAND IN THE PARK And Thousands Were Out to Hear It. Last night was another hot one, but the 14th band was in Macdonald Park. If anyone doubts the popularity of and one might even say the neces sity of band concerts, it would have been an object lesson to sce the crowds that thronged the tower hill and the shores of the lake, last even ing, to listen to the music. It was an ideal night and an ideal spot, for such a gathering and the pe orle of the city rightly appreciated the occa sion by the large numbers who at tended. The water was smooth as glass and every available eraft in the harbor, from the smallest canoe to the big steam pleasure yachts was in commission and lazily floated about the placid surface while the occu pants listened to the strains of the band. The music was up to its usual standard, and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The next concert is Thursday evening. : LAD"S BRAVE DEED. Jack O'Neil Saves a Life. Another rescue, due to the presence of mind and courage of a young Jad who happened to be nearby can be recorded. The other morning Miss Partridge, Collingwood street, was in bathing at the malt house. Unknown to her the waves washed the plank to which she was clinging beyond her depth. She was in a nasty predica ment. As she could not swim, she became naturally overcome with fright when she found the water about her was so deep. Jack O'Neil, King street west, happened to be near at hand and unhesitatingly plunged in with his clothes on and brought the girl safely to shore. This is the second rescue to O'Neil's credit, mer, it will he remembered, he plunged off the breakwater to save a child who had fallen into the we 8 Girl's as last sum ater, -- H. A.
