Tho Captain of tho City of Brussels said that tho fog was so heavy that he stopped the engines and allowed the vessel to dntt with tho tide. After sho had drifted thus for forty one minutes, the Captain heard tho whistles of steamers on both port and starboard sides. Ho thought that tho two steamers were passing him in parallel lines. A moment later a white light loomed up on the starboard bow, and beforo anything could be done tho Kirby Hall struck the City of Brussels with terrific force. Tho Cap tain of the City of Brussels stuck by his ship till sho went down, and clung to a spar until rescued. Ten men were drowned.

The lecturer urged upon his hearers tho necessity of keeping up with the every day procession and not pulling back in tho harness. Hard work was never known to kill men : it was tho fun that men had in tho intervals that killed them. The fact was, most peo plo had yet to learn what fun really was.

Many women hung from tho window sills and rent tho air with screams until tho firo licked their hands and they went spinning down to a hor rible death. At one timo thero wero five women hanging at tho sarao timo from sixth story windows.

Less than a hundred were saved. Meanwhile tho British trict that has caved in. On the 2Gth tho steamer Agnes Jack was wrecked near Swansea. She went ashoro on a reef, aud was just out of range of rockets, and utterly out of reach of boats. The people on shore saw twelve of the crew clinging to tho mast of the ship. Ono by one they were swept away. At last tho captain stripped off his clothes, plunged into the waves, and swam for the shore. Ho too was drowned.
