i THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1906 DSSED BY WAVES TWO NIGHTS AT SEA IN FRAIL OPEN BOAT. Sr-- Young Sai'or Lad Has Perilous Adventure din 'the Bristol Channel. Aug. 15.~The steambarge Ludovico, which arrived at Barry, to-day, brought to port William Rowles, a Devonshire lad, who, was rescued after he had spent two days and two nights in an open boat in the Bristol channel. Rowles hails from Jain- staple, and has always longed to go to sea. Two months ago he walk- ed from there to Plymouth, and secured a berth on the schooner Ella Owens, of Cardigan. A few days ago the Ella Owens put in at Swansea, and on Thursday last young Rowles went ashore, taking the ship's boat to row across the dock. When he réturned a couple of hours later he could not hind the schooner, and, thinking that she might have moved out into the bay, he rowed to the end of the pier wo look for her. The boat was struck by a large wave, which carried it out into the chan- nel," and at the same time washed away one of Rowle's oars. ; . "I never hoped to weather it, * said Rowles to a reporter. "I had only one oar to scull with and 1 could not make any progress against the cur- rent, "The rain came pouring down, there was a strong westerly gale blowing, and the sea was running very high. The small boat rode the waves splen- didly but 1 was tossed about like a cork, and | was often in danger of being pitched clean out of the hoat. "I spent the night in the bottom of the 'boat clinging to' the seat bailing out. the water and keeping a sharp lookout. When daylight came T was on the open sea, but no vessels were near me, and throughout the day I was tossed about on the waves. On Friday night a sailing ship appeared within a mile of me. 1 shouted, and as the ship came nearer 1 thought they would pick me up, but no one appeared on the deck, and the passed without taking any notice. London, vessel GRAIN CROP INJURED a Correspdpdent. at Sharpton. Sharpton, Aug. 13.--Abundant rains have brought good . pastures; = stocks are thriving. The flow of milk is above the average. But nearly a hali of the grain crop will be injured by rust, therefore we may expect a deal of lightweight oats. The straw is generdily heavy. There will be plenty of hay and straw for fodder. While with farmers mon- ey is not as plentiful as in Igte years prospects are good. Already thresh- ing machines are on the move, Mr. and Mrs. 'Wood, of Brockville, are to visitetheir daughter, Mrs. P. W, jell. Statute labor is being = done on the several heats. 8S.

When all the belated dispatches her- alding the progress of Jack London, novelist, about the unchartered seas in his yacht Shark have been collected, there will be . ample material for an- Sher autobiography on a magazine ontract from the pen of the' author of "The Call of the Wild," Yet there { are a. few items conterning London's ' vouth, which the 'author and his iriends have overlopked in the past.
