Struck on a Reef In a Riff Storm?Only One Lifeboat Got Away?For Seventeen Day* Immense Wave# Droke Over the Wreck, Washing Men, Women and Children Into the Sea ?The Rescue. Loxdos, England (By Cable).?Despatches from Aden. Arabia, say that the Indian- Government's steamer Mayo, sant out in search of the missing steamer Aden, from Yokohama, via Colombo and Aden !or London, has returned there, and re norrs war tne Auen was ioiauy lust uu mo island o! Socotra, at the eastern extremity of Africa, daring the morning of June 9. The Aden carried thirty-four passengers torn China and Japan. The captain of the wrecked steamer, some of her officers and crew and seven white passengers were swept overboard and irowned very soon after she ran ashore. Sight women passengers, nine ehildren, two pfficers and a few of the Aden's crew succeeded in getting away from the wreck in a post, but they have not been heard from ince. and little hope is entertained of their afety. The Mavo saved nine of the Aden's ba? sengers, three of the white members of the rew and thirty-three of the natives who owned part of the steamer's crew. Ail hese persons were rescued just as the Aden cas breaking up. The survivors of the vrecked steamer were brought to Aden. In ill, the drowned and missing Include tweny-flve passengers, twenty European officers and thirty-three natives of the Aden's rew. Two days after leaving Colombo the Aden vas struck by a severe monsoon, with quails, violent and incessant. Day by day he weather grew thicker and the passen ?ers became more and more alarmed. At I o'clock in the morning on June 9 the ves?el struck upon the Rasradresa reef, on the ?astern coast of the Island of Socotra, .vhich is situated in the Indian Ocean. 120 niles east of Cape Guardafui. the eastern extremity of Africa. The engine room was nstantly flooded, and utter darkness enmed. It was soon seen that the steamer could aot survive the shock, and that the only chance for safety lay in the boats. Life belt? were distributed, distress signals given, and the boats on the lee side prepared for launching. Those on the weather dde had already been washed away. A lifeboat was lowered, only to be swept away immediately with three' Lascars and the first officer, Mr. Carden. The gig was despatched to the rescue with Mr.* Miller, :he second officer, but both boats were -apldly swept away. The only remaining boat was then lowered amid a scene of Incense emotion. A cry of anguish broke from the lips of the men when this halt oapiined, throwing the sailors and the stores 'nto the sea. After great efforts the boat was righted and the women and children were lowered nto it, with the exception of Mmcs. Gillett, ; Pearce and Strain, who heroically decided { :o share the fate of their husbands, and Misses Lloyd and Weller, who remained on i ooard. The boat, manned by a European crew, left in a tremendous sea, and drifted rapidly oat of sight. Vast wares still swept the deck. washing the people about and leaving them prostrate on the deck. One by one. men women and children, grown too weak to withstand the repeated buffeting*, were washed overboard and out of sight. Among those first engulfed were Mr. ! and Mrs. Strain and their two children and Mrs. Lloyd and Weller, tne missionaries; Mrs. Pearce's baby, with its Chinese, nurse, and then Captain Hill, whose leg was broken, but who had borne himself calmly and bravely. All day the victims were picked off ono by one until five o'clock In the afternoon, when those who still survived, many of them badly hurt, retreated below. The storm abated slightly on the morning of the 10th, and those who were able to move began to search for food, hunger until then having failed to assert Itself over more acute privations. The search resulti ed In their getting very little food, and | this was shared out equally and in very small portions. All tne time the desperate men kept a sharp lookout, but no vessel was sighted until the 13th, and even then the distress signals were not seen. On the 17th and Sain on the 20th other vessels were sight, but the signals were not seen or were I Ignored. When things were at their worst, two steamers were sighted. One proceeded I without paying any attention to the dis| tress signal. The other anchored under the I lee of the Island. Assoonassbewassigntea ; a Lascar mounted the rigging and signalled | her. In reply candles burned at her port- j holes, and at daybreak on the 26th a bus- 1 pense of seventeen days was relieved by tha spectacle of the steamer rounding the point and heading toward the wreck. She dropped anchor about a mile away. With heartfelt joy, mingled with tears of the men and hysterical sobbing of the women, they saw the life boat lowered. It took her three-quarters of an hour to reach the wreck. Every one rushed to the broken side of the ship. It was the llfo boat of the Indian Government steamer Mayo, which rescued all of the survivors in two trips. St. Lou la Breaks a Record. The American lino steamer Bt.

It was anybody's race until the instant the flag dropped, and the fact that but two seconds divided the first and last crews, and that the boats lapped one another nearly a half is evidence of the character of the struggle.

Fonr Men, Thought to Be Laughing Sam Carey With a Xew Gang, Raid the Biitte Connty Bank i?t Belle I'ourche South Dakota, and All Bnt One Get Away Into the Impansable Bad Land*. Deadwood, South Dakota (3pecial).? Four masked men made a desperate raid on the Butte County Bank at Belle Fourehe Monday afternoon. Entering the bank with revolvers drawn they ordered the customers present and the bunk officials to put up their hands. A littie hesitancy on the part of Cashier Marble drew a shot from one of the robbers, which clipped off a piece of the cashier's right ear and enforced compliance with the command. In the safe and on the counters there were bills and coin amounting to about S10.000. The robbers scooped it all into a sack, backed out of the bank, and mounting their horses, which had been conveniently stationed near, rode away. The alarm was given immediately and in a few moments a well-mounted and armed posse was in pursuit. Within a few miles from town the posse came up with the fugitives and a running fight ensued, which resulted in one of the robbers surrendering. The others, being better mounted, kept on, but are closelv pursued and have very little chance of escaping. The man who was captured is a stranger in the hills, and ft is believed that he was used to locate the place and fix all the details. The other men are believed to be the remnants of the once famous band of Laughing Sam Carey thpt flourished in the Bla;k Hills until ten years ago, when they held up the iron-hound treasure coach of the Wells-F&rgo Company at Buffalo Gap and were almost exterminated. They got 650,000 in gold at that time, and the*surviving members got out of the country with It. Several men who saw the escaping robbers declare that the leader was Carey. None of the men carried rifles, but all were armed with heavy revolvers. The men made for the Bad Lands. They evidently figure on standing off the posse or hiding In some of the many recesses. There were eight men in the bank at the time the robbers entered, three of whom had pistols in their pockets. Most of them were men who have lived on the frontier a long time, and knew that an effort to draw a revolver would merely precipitate a flght that might end in the killing of all those in the bank. The men worked at the Job as coolly as If they were performing a legitimate transaction. When they were overtaken by their pursuers they had discarded their masks and were counting the money. Thev quickly got their revolvers into action, and shovred by the way they used them they were cIdtimers at the business. The "bank das offered a reward of 65000 for the robbors, tAVCVt* VI CREAT LOSS OF LIFE ABROAD. A 'Crowded Train Swept Away by a Big Flood in Gallcla.

Take from the navigator his nautical in- '~J struments. and the stupid booby that settles v?gj on the mast of his ship to refresh its weary ? ffl frame can make Its way to land, and leave fja him to perish at the mercy of the winds and waves.

Fretting Over Small Things.
