iPROER COM1FORTERS CR.7ALM1AG TELLS HOW TO HELP PEOPLE N TAOUBLE. A Bettsr Way of Do&iilg With Brken Hearto No Pato F.,r Cant and Much Talktrg--BapPiLeis Comes Thrcugh Saf fering. The awkward and irritating mode of trying to comfort peopl- in trcuble is here set forth by Dr. Taimge, and a be.ter way of dealmg wufl Drcken hearts is recommended; text, JoO xvi, 2, "Miserable comforters are ye all." The man o: Uz had a great many trials-the loss of zis family, the lo3 of his property, the loss of his health, but tne most exasperating ting that came upon him was the tantalizing talk of tnose who ought to have sym patai:zrd with him. And, looking around uponthem,aLd weighing what they had said, he utters the woids of my text. Why did God let sin come into the world I It is a q iestion I often hear discused, but never satisfactorily an swered. God made the world fair and ceautif al at the start. If our first pa rents had nuot sinned in Eden, they might have gone cut of tnat garden ana found 50 paradises all around the earth-Earope, Asia, Africa, North and South America-so many tiower gardens or orchards of fruit, redolent and luscious. I suppose that when God pourea cu: the Gihon ard tne Hiddekei he poured out at the same time tue liucson and the Suiquetan na. The whole earth was very fair and beautiful to look upon. Why did it not stay so? God had the power to keep back sin and woe. Why did be not keep them back? Way not every coud roseate, and every step a joy, and every stund music, and asi the ages a long jubilee o: sinless men and sinless women? God can make a rese as easily as be can make a thorn. Wby, inen, the prrdiminance of thorns? He can make gooa, fair, ripe fruit as well as gnarled and sour fruit. Why so much, then, tnat is gnarled and sour.' Re can make men robust in health. Way, then, are there so many mvalids? Why not have for our whole race perpetual leisure in stead of this tug and toil and tussle for a livehhood? I will tell you why God let sin come into tae world when I get on the other side of the river of death. Tnat is the place where such questions will be ans w er ed and suca mysteries soived. He who this sae that river attempts to answer tne question only illustrates his own ignorance and mcompetehcy. All I know is one great fact, and tnat is, that a herd of woes nas come in upon us, trampling dowrn everything fair and beau uL. A swo.rd at the gate o. Eden azd a sword at every gate. More people under the ground than on it. Lhe gr.veyards in vast major ity. The 6,000 winters nave made more scars than tne 6,M00 summers can cover up. Trouole nas taken me tender heart of this worid in its two rough hands and pinened it unul the nations wail with tne agony. If all the mounds of gravey ards Mat have been raised were put side by side, you might step on them and nothing else, going all around We worlo, ana around again, and around again. These are the lacs. And now I nave to say that in a worlt like this the grandest occupation is that of giving condolence. The holy cience of im parting comfort to the trcuoled we ought all of us to study. 'here are many of you 'who coulta loon around upon some of your very best friends, 'who wish you well and are very in telligent, and yet be aole trutniuly to say to them in your days of trouabie "Miserable comfora'ers are ye all. I remark, in the first place, that very voluaole people are incompetent for the work or giving comiort. .Bil dad and Eulphaz had the gift of lan guage, and wita their wor ds almost nother Jon's hife Lut. Alas for thsese voluble people mat go among the houses of the a1til:cted and talk and tal~k and talK and talk. '1Tiey renearse their own sorrowr, and then they tell the poor sufferers snat they zeel oadly now, but mney will feel worse after awhile. Silence!i Do you expect with a thin couri plaster of words to heal a 'wound deep as the soul? Step very gently around about a broken neart. T'alk very softly around those whom God has bereft. Then go your way. D)eep sympathy has not mu::t to say. A fium grasp of the hand, a compas adonate iooZ~jutst one word that means as much as a whole dictionary, and you have given perhaps all the com-~ fort that a soul needs. A man has a terrible wound in his aim. ihe sur geon comes and binds it up. "Now," ne nays, "carry that arm in a sling and be very careful of it. Let no one touch it.But the neign bors have neard of the accident, ana they come in, ana they say, "Lt us see it." And the banrdage is pulled off, _and this one and that one must feel it and see how much it is swohlen and there are irri tation and inflamation and exaspera tion where there ought to be nealing and cooling. The surgeon comes in and saya: -What does all this mean? You have no ousiness to touch those bandages. That wound will never heal unless you let it alone.' So there are souls broken down in sorrow. W'hat they most want is rest or very ca:-eful and gentle treatment, but the neignbors have heard of the bereave ment or of the loss, and tney come in to sympathize, and they say:"So us now the wound. What were his last words? Rehearse now the whole scene. How aid you feel whea you found you were an orphan?" T'earing off the bandages here and pulling them off there, leaving a gnasily wound that the balm of God's grace nad already begun to heaL On, let no loquacious people with ever rat tling tongues, go into the homes ox the distressed. Again, I remark that all those per sons are incompetent to give any kind of comfort who act merely as worldly philosopners. They come in and s~sy: 'Why, tnis is what y.u ought Lo~ have expected. The laws of nature must have their way." And then they get eloquent over sometning they nave seen in postmertem examina tions. No w, away with all human philosopay at such a time. What dif erence does it make to that father and mother what disease their son died oi? He is dead, ar~d it makes no difference whether the trouble was in the epigastric or hy pogastric region. If the pmilosopher oe of the stoical school, he will ccme and say: 'You oughxt to control your fewlings. You must not cry so. You must cultivate a cooler temiperamrent. You must have self reliance, sejf government, self control'-an iceberg reproviag.a hyacinth for having a drop Gf dew in its eye. A violinist nas his instrument and he sweeps his fingers acrot s the strings, now evoking strains of joy and now strains of sadne~s. He can not play all the tunes on one string. The human soul is an instrument of a thousand strings, and all sorts of emotions were made to play on it. Now an anthem, now a dirge. It is no evidence of weakness when one is oveeome of sorrow. Edmund Burke was found in the pasture field witn his arms around a horme's neck, cares sing him and some one said, "W by, tie great man has lost his mind." wh' had recently died, and his great heart broke over the grief, It is no sign of weahkmss tht man sre over come of their sorrows. Thank God for the relief of tears. Have you never been in trouble when ycu could not weep and you wculd have given any tbing for a cry * David did well when he mourned for Absalom, Abraham did well when be temoaned Sarah, Christ wept for Lazarus, and the last man that I want to se e come any wl ere near me when I have any kind of trouble is a worldly philosovher. Again, I remark that those persons are ircampetent for the work of com fort bearing who have u.tniug but cant to offer. Tn re are those wno have the idea that X ( u must groan over thedistresad ard ztfiicea. Thiere are times in grief vhen one cheerful face, dawning upon a mai's soul, is worth $1, 0 to hiw. Do not whine over tk e fill ctea. Take the protnises of the gcspel and u-.ter them in a manly tone. Da not be a'raid to smile if you feel like it. Di not drive any more hear.es tbrough that pocr soul. Da not tell him the trouble foreordained. It will not be any comfort to know it was a million years ccming. If you want to find splints for a oroken bone, ao not take cast iron. Da not tell them it is God's justice teat weighs out gr:ef. Tney want to hear of God's tender mercy. In other words, do not give them sq aa fortis when iney need valerian. Again. I remarx that those persons are poor comforters who have never had any trouble themselves. A lark sour cannot lec:ure on the nature of a snow flake; it never sav a snowflake, and those people who have always lived in the summer of prosperity cannot talk to tnose who are frozen in disaster. God keeps aged people in the world, I think for this very work of sympatby. They have been through all these trials. Tney know all that which irritates an d all that which so thes. If there are men and women here who have old people in the house or near at had, so that they can easily reach them, I cngratulate you. Some of us have had trials in life, and although we have had many friends around about us we have wish ed that father and mother were still alive that we might go and tell them. Perhaps they could not say much, but it would have been suca a comfort to have them around. These aged ones who have been all through the trials of life Inow how to give conuolence. Cherish them; let them lean on your arm, these aged people. If when you speak to them tbev cannot hear just what you say the first time, And y ou have to say it a second time, wnen you say it a second time do not say it sharply. If you do, you will be sorry for it on the day waen you take the last look and orush back the silvery Iccks from the wrinkled broor just be fore they screw the lid on. Blessed be Gcd for the old people! They may not have much strength to go around, but they are God's appointed ministers of comfort to a broken neart. People who have not had trials themselves cannot give comfort to others. They may talk very beauti fully, and they may give you a great deal of poetic sentiment; but while poetry is perlume that smells sweet, it makes a very poor salve. If you have a grave in a pathway, and some body comes and covers it all over with flowers, it is a grave yet. Taose wno have not had grief themselves know not the mystery of a broken heart. They know not the meaning of child lessness, and the having no one to put to bed at night or the standing in a room where every book and picture and door is ful. of memories-the doormat where she sat, the cup out of wnich she drank, the place where she stood at the door and clapped her hands, the odd figures that sne serio bled, the blocks she built into a house. Ah, no, you must have trouble your self before y ou can comfort trouble in others. But come all ye who have been bereft and ye who have been comforted in your sorrow and stand around these difl.oted souls and say to them. I had that very sorrow my self. God comforted me, and he wil comfort you." And that will go right to the spot. In other words, to comn fort others we must nave rIsta in God, practical experience and good sound common sense. But there are three or four conside rations that I will bring to those who are sorrowful and distressed that we can always bring to them, knowing tnat they will effect a cure. And the first consideration is that God sends our troubles in love. I of ten heari people in their trouoles say, -Why, I! wonder what God has against me?" They seem to think God has some grudge against them because troubie and misfortune have come. 0o, no! Do you not remember that passage of Scripture, "Whom the Lord loveth he chastenethV' A cnild comes in with a very bad splinter in its hand,. and you try to extract it. It is a very painlul operation. The child draws back from you, but you persist. You are going to take that spfliter out, so you take the cnild with a gentle out tirm grasp, for although there may be pain in it the splinter must come out. And it is love that dictates it ana makes you persist. My friends, I really thin k tnat nearly all our sor ro as in this worla are only the hand of our Father extracting some thorn. If all these sorrows were sent by ene mies, I would say arm yourselves against them and as in tropiCal Climes wnen a tiger comes down from the mountains and carries off a child from tne viliage the neigntoors band togeth er and go mnto the forest an:1 hun; the monster so I would have you, if I thought these misfortunes were sent by an enemy, go out and battle against tnem, but no, they come from aF trner so kind, so loving, so gentle tnat trie prophet, speaking of his tender. ness and mercy, drops the idea of a famher and says, "As one weom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort Again, I remark there is comfort in the thougnt that Goai by all this pro cess is going to make you useful. Do yo.u know teat tnose who accomplsn most for God and heaven have all been u-naer tne harrowi Show mea a man that has done anytmg ncr Cinrist in this day in a puolic or pri vate place wno has had no trouble and wnose path has been smooth. At., no! I once went through an ax factory, and I saw them take the bars of iron and thrust them into the terrible fur naces. Then besweated workmen with long tongs stirred the bisze. Then they brought out a bar of iron and put it in a crushing machine, and then they put it aetween jaws that bit it in twain. They put it on an anvil, and there were great hammers swung oy machinery-each half a ton heavy -that went thumip, thump, thump! If tziat iron cuxu nave spoken, it would have said: 'Why all tis beating? Why mu~t I be pound ed any more than any other iron I" The workmen would have said, "We want to make axes out of you, keen, sharp axes-axes with which to hew down the forest and build the ship and erect houses and carry on a thousand enterprises of civilization. That is the reason we pound you." Now, Go-d puts a soul into the fur nace of trial, and then it is brought out and run tnrough the crushing machine, and then it comes down on the anvil and upon it, blow after blow, uni the soul cries cmt "0 LTrd, what docs all this mear 0,- GoA says: "I wsnt to make cnamthinc very ut ful o.it of you 1 ,u shal te some thing to hew wi 11 at d someth-irg to build w-itn. It is a 1ractic # proces throukh which I an tutiin you." Yes. my Cristian friends. we want more to~ls ii ,e church of God; nat more wedgs to .liL -inh. We have enough of thest. N )t more bores with which lo drill. We have too many bores. What we really want is keen. sbarp, well tempered axes, and iP there te any other way of making them than in tre hot fureace. at d on the hatrd anvil, sud under tne heavy hamauor, I do not knrow what it is. Remi tmb:r tnit iV Gil brings any kind of c stisenet'-i u on you it is only to make Yu userui. Do not sit down discoxated and sav: "I bave no more re-.san !or liviuz. I wish I were desd " 03, t-re never was so much reason for % our lirin- as now: Bv tLis ordeal you have been consecrited a priest of the most high Gd. Goout ana JoYLur wh.ie waik for the master. Again, there is comfort in the tbought that a1l cur troubles art a revulatiov. Hlav, you eve r thought of it in that connecti-n? The man who h .s never b-en torough chastiseMent is ignorant about a th usand things in his scul tie cu;bt to koo v. For in taucct. here is a man wuo prides him ?lf on Lis cieer-uiness of character. He bas no patience wita any bo iy wno is depressed in spirits. Va, it is easy for him to be caeerful with his tiue house, his filled wardrobet and well strung instruments of music and tap estritd parlor and pl-nty of money in the baoa waiting for some permanent investment It is easy for him to be cheerful. Bu, suppose his fortune goes to pieces aud uis house goes down under the stersffs hammer and the iauks will not nave anything to do witn his paper. Suppose those people where once elegaauy entertained at his table get so suortsighted that tthey cannot recoriiize him upon tne street How then? Is it so easy to be caeerful? It is easy to De cheerfau in the home af ter the day's work is done, and tae gas is turned on, and the houie is full cf romping little ones. Bat suppose the piano is shut because the fingers that played on it will no more touc2 the keys, and the childisa vice that asked so many q it stions wili ask no more. Then is it so easy ? Wnen a man wakes up and fiuas that his re sources are all gone he begins to rebel, and he sa3 s: "God is hard; God is outrageous. He had no business to do this to me." My friends, those of us wno have been tnrough trouole know wnat a sinful a:.d reoellious heart we have, and J1ov mucn God has to put up with, and ho y mucn we need par don. It is only in the light of a flam ing furnace tnat we can leira our own weakness and our own lack of moral resource. Tnere is also a great deal of comfort in the fact that taere will be a family reconstruction in a better place. From cotland or England or Ireland a cnild emigrates t a&merica. It is very rjard parting, but he comes, after a while writing home as to what a good land it is. Anotner brother comes, a sister comes, and another, and after awhile the mother comes, and after awhile the father comes, and now they are all here, and they nave a time of great congratulation and a very pleas ant reanion. Well, it is just so with our famaiies. They are emigrating to ward a better land. Now one goes out. Oh, how hard it is to part with aim! &nother goes. Oh, ho w hard it is to part with ner ! Atnd another, and we ourselves will aftecr awhile go over, and then we will be togethier. 02, what a rcunion! Do you believe thati "Yes," you say. On, you do not ! You .io not btlieve it as you be lieve otner things. If y ou do, and with the same emphasis, why it would take ninetenths of y our trouble off your heart. The fact is heaven ti many oi us is a great fog. It is a way off somne where, filled with an uncertain and indeli-nie popula tion. That is the kiud ot heaven that many of us cream about, but it is the most tremendous f act in all this ui vere-tnlis heaveti of tne gospel. Our departeu friends are Lot atisat.

A-norg the 27 ssergers which the British steamship Arecuoa brought to New Yore Friday from Mexican ports weie the families of refugees from HEavana. With many others they escaped from Havana to Vera Cruz on the Frerch steamer LaFayeue. They say that the LaFayette tried to purchase coal but General Blhnco would not aliow none to be sold. The limited supply now there is beirg guarded jealously, and at night the city is in complete darkness. The electric plant has been shut down, ail factories where coal is used for fuel are stopped and the gas and water works are forced to get along with as little coal as poss:ble. For this reason water is scarce. When the LaFayette sailed for Vera Cruz there was a stampede to get out of the city. Fully 15,000 Spaniards and Cubans had obtained passporms to leave, bat exhorbitant prices for pas sage were cemauded ant only a part of them could afford to pay twe rate demanded. As it was the LaFayette took 1,200 men, women and caiidren away irom Havana, all that she was ab e to carry. There were thousands ,tit, who, aithouga widling toapay the prica asked, coula not get passage and tney raved like madmen, offering the fortunate ones twice the amoant they had paid for tickets. A passenger named Xiques paid $1,400 ior .passage for himself, wife ana two childrea. Many otners paid as high as $1,000 each, and then they were compeaied to sleep on the decxs or wherever tney could find room to lie down. Three miserable days were spent on the LaFayette with only a scanty allowance ot food for each pas senger. Nearly all the passeng ers were wealthy Spanisa mer cnants in HAvana and otner Cuoan Cities. Jose Otero, who brought his wife and daugnters, L. uisa, Marguerite and Clemencita, to tnis city, was iormerly conneced witn the city government In Havana. le said: When I left Havana it was said the insurgeats were only 15 miles from the city and at night the lights of tneir camp lires could De seen flaring in the nlis. Between tne fear of oomoard ment by tne United states warships and attack by tae insurgents the city is panic a tricken and a com ined at tack is looked f or every hour. "Food is very scarce and fresh meat can scarcely ne bought at any price. Tne blockage is felt more by tne poor er classes, and as tney are tne oues who nave been most loyal to Spain the cuf fering among themi is the vrorst." Mr. Otero woula say little about the Spanisn troops an Cuba under General BRanco, but from other passengers it was learned that the army is almost as demoralized and~ panic-stricken as the civihtans. Ammunition is scarce, Andi many of the troops are ciotned ia rags and without sthoes. Rl aions are being doled out to tnemn sparimgly, out the soldiers watch careily all piaces where provisions are kno .en to De stored and kne authorities will not allow private families to purchase suipplies for more tnan one oay at a time.

Some rain was re p rted from 25 places. but only 9 reported measurements of 0 25 or more, with a maximum fall of 1 25 at Biteiburg. Tae average for the State is 0.17of an irch, atd the normal :or the same pericd is approxi mately 0 88. Wit few and limited exceptions rain iz urgently needed over the erftiie State. Grain crops are threatened se rious injury by a continuation of tae dry weather until they lipea. Miinor fidia crops ana gardens all wed rain to start them growing, and even corn. and to a less extent cotton, needs rain. In the southeastern and south cen tral counties all crops are parcned, wells are going dry and streams axe at an exnremely low stage. Tae drought extends along the coast to liorry, while in Berkeley, Darlington and Marlboro counties lrtquent and peneficial showers occurred uuring tLan week. unere was abcut 80 per cent. of the po:sible bright sunshine; the lo mest percentage reported was 50, the high est 100. Tne winds were generally light southwesterly, dry and parcning, and together witn the oright aunsline and high temperature caus-d ihe suriace of Le groond to oecom.z very dry. Hail occurred on ,e 18.h in Aiken and Green vot. d counties, in the latter the hail destroying cotton along a nar ro v path. A severe nail storm occAr red in the vicinity of Batesourg on the 221, but aid little or no damaxe. Ine hign temperature and oright, warm sunshine had a decidedly lavor able inflience on tne stapie ield crops causing a general improvement in can dition. Where showers occurred the im provement was particularly marked, althiugh as has been shated, the need of rain is general and urgent over tne entire Siate, as the parual saomvers covered coipar.tuvely small areas. Corn has made sljo growtn out im provement is noted in its general ap pearance as to color and stand, al rnougn the latter was damaged by cat worms on bottom lanas, oud worms wnicfl are more numerous than for many years In York county, and wire worms partucularly damaging in Cnes terfield county. Owing to the ary condition or tne soin, late planting is not cozning up well, and mauca tot tom land yet to I~lnt, a waiting rain' wo put tne ground in condtion tor planting. Gorn is every where smnall for tne season, but tne flelds are weli cultivated. Rain is ..adly needed for corn. Cotton t as stopped dying except in a f.w localities and Shows improve znent during the week in color, stand and growtn although in tue last ie spkect tne plant is niot up to its usual :..z. at L.uis season. d&inds, also, are geneiaily celo w an average, witn now ever, excnpti..lai.y even and full stands hOted in many localities. Late plantung and r eplanted cotton is c1om mzg up slowly owing to lack of mous ture and crusthd soil pai ticulariy on red lands and stff, heavy soils.

Late and spring sown oats will in many p.aces tce complete failures and Luey deteriorated every where during tne week. Swveet potato draws are generailly pleatiful with some rspor ts to the con rary, but owing to the dry weather out few draws have as yet be-n set, and where it was done the sets were wilted and kilied.I Irish potatoes need rain urgently in the eastern and southern counties arnd WNere they have been dug the yield was small, except that in Barn well :ounty fair yields are the rule Color do beetles have operated in large and lestru::tive numbers in Newberry, Lmrens and York counties. Thore is an improvement noted in melons, very marked in a few iccali ies, but stands are far from satisfac-I tory, while in B3arn well the area un der cultivation is smaller than usuali and the vinee less promising. Peaches are doing well except in ?ickens, where only sheltered trees bear any fruit. Blight on apple and near trees seems to be on the increase. 3rapes m-ra very promising. and it may he sa~d that this fruit seldom or :never fanlia this State where properi utention is given the vines.

U A a VOYAGE OF FIFTEEN 7 CUS ANID M!LES. 41 e a Now Safe a Key We#t Taking on Cual and Ammunition-TI-e Readable Stiry of Her orutse-oaptain Clark's Pr, cautions. The United States battleship Oregon has arrived at Key West, Fia., after markirg a cmiinuuus voyage o fif iten thousand miles. The Oregon left San Francisco gproh 19, arrived at Callao April 4, left there April 7 and passd Sandy Point (Puuta Arenas) April 21, arriv .n at R:o Janeiro April 30. Tne bAt tebhip reached BAhia May 8 and touched at Barb dJes May 18. At the latter place the warrhip was quaran tined, but she was only detained one dar. Oa leaving the Barbadoes, the Ore gon sailed almost directly north, go mg to the noril o! Porto Rico about 15u miles. Tne rortnerly course was continued until the Bermudas were signted, when she headed 'or the Florida coast. Capt Clark expliLs that the reason for going to Jupiter inlet instead of puLtiLig in at Key West was to enable the Oregon to be ready to go either to Key West or Hhmpton Roads in short ordr after getting nificial information Irom Wsshwglon. Capt. Clark had no cfficial knowl edge of ihe situation after leaving Rio Jane iro on April 30. During the en tire tip the crew expected momenta rify to meet the Spawsa. OaJy once, nowevtr, was tatre a cal to arms. fnis was shortly aLer midnight on leaving Rio Janeiro. As the Oregon was ploughing through the black eqiatorial sea a dark object was dis covered ahead, apparentLy giviug enase. The call to general qaartrs was sounded, the men rollc-A out oi their birtns with the enthusiasm of ooys on a circus day, and almost in ntantly every gun was manned. Tne Oregon left ner course and circled around her back pursuer, oniy to na it a h.-raless oark instead of a 6paniSh warship. Bacir to tneir berths crept the men with mutterings of disappointment ind disgusL At Rio Janeiro Capt. Clark was told t.a tne Spanish torpedo boat Teme rario was iollowing tam. This report gave new interest to the trip for a day and night, but at the next port of call ne was informed that the Temerario nad gone into dry dock at R.o Juaeiro just alter the departure of tne Oregon. The cruise tmrough the straits. U1 Magellan was most interesting. It was at this far southern point of the Aamerican hemibpnere that the crew exj.eited to receive a visit from tme Spianiaidi. In many places the chan nel was very narro w and crooked, with hidden oays and coves, and oaci of tnem muntains towered in mte couds on eitner side. Moreover intey were in the land of icy winter. Fur more tnan a month tney nad been sainng under tropical slies, and nuw the cold blasts whistled among the crags above them and the ice at night lay on the decks. Bat the Oregon did not lag. Capt. Clark nad no idea of givirng Span iarcs, if they were there, a chance to catcn mm napping. If ne great bat dleship were to be catught it should be a catch on the wing. Tne engines were warmed up to their best work and whenever it was safe and poesible the Oregon oowled along at 15 knots an flour. Thie machinery worked weil, and on occasions tae speed was in creased three knots in a te w minu:.es. .3 stop of tnree days was made at Sandy Point, where coat was taken on and other supplies secured. The Or-egon's 25 officers arnd her crew or 425 seamen were well and happy when the battleship cast ancaor utf sanay Key lignthouse at 6.30 tnis morning. 'The Oregon is in first class shape and ready for another cruiss an tong as tne one j ast ended. 'The ex cellent ccndition of the men alt-.r their 66 days' voyage is perhaps more remarkable. Tnroughotut the ente trip trhere were no cases of serious inness on bLoard, and the men are as eager for immediate activity as if they naa just come from a vacation in the mouniains. Tne Oregcn picked up the cruiser Marietta and kne dynamite cruiser icetneioy oetween Rio Janeiro ana1 dania, but she parted company watu memL nf.cor a ke nundrec miues. Capt.
