chance there In no atory of tragedy
of human Uvea to l>e written 111 coll
nectlou with the marine diaaMter.
A party of gentlemen, gueata of Mr.
Mt^uade, were to have barked on Ka<
m<H>r shortly after midnight to go on a
nhootiug trip. Half hii hour before the
time for atartlng an exploidon of gaao
tlne fumed occurred lu the engine rooyi
which waa wrecked and practically
gutted hy the lire that followed. It
Neeina that there had beei} ? b'rtk of
guaolluu iuto the hllge and when the
colored boat keej>er h truck a match,
In the engine room to light a lantern
the detonation of the gat* resulted Im
mediately. The care taker waa burned
about the face and lunula, but not seri
ously.
The lire department was called out
ami a reserve Hteam fir? engine was
put Into hurried commission to light
tho flames. In . half an l\our (ho lire
department tipparatua was discharged
with the four-tap "fire's out" signal.
Attout half imst twelvo^-or thirty
minutes after the apparatus had been
sent bjick to the statton ? a heavy ex
plosion shook the water front and rat
tled windows in the residences an
eight of a mile away. The acetylene
gas lighting tank, situated in the how
of the yacht helow decks, had explod
ed and there hurst out a secoyd fire on
Kauioor that completed the work that
the first had begun.
The heavy forward deck planking
wqs bulged and fissured, the whole
cabin house was lifted bodily and mov
ed out of place, heavy dead-eyes and
ix>rt lights were smashed, every sky
light was blown away.
The wreck Is almost complete, ex
cept-that the hull and some of the dock
housing may be hereafter ^utilized.
Kauioor was a forty-ton. sixty-foot
vessel built at Hayshore, N. Y., six
tefcd'yOaVs Ago for Bernard M Ha i nch,
of New York city. Her 'original cost
was $22,000 and she was first a sloop
and flew the colors of one of the big
New York yacht clubs. Subsequently
Mr. Harm*)) had the standing rigging
and spars unshipped and transformed
the craft into a power boat to be used
for pleasure in "those and adjacent
waters, in connection with his 'game
preserves and winter home at Arcadia,
near thin city. Several years ago Ka
uioor passed from the ownership of
Mr. Haruch to that of Mr. McQuade,
who has since maintained her for the
pleasure of himself and his friends.
'Ie is the ^soul of hospitality and a
great many public and even famous
men have been entertained by him on
the craft. At regattas and on other
festive occasions the spacious* decks of
the Kam,oor have been made brilliant
by the assembled scores nf ladies,
guests of Mrs. McQuade. wife of the
owner. . ?
The vessel was one of the most hand
somely litted of her class in the coun
try. The saloon and stateroom finish
was in solid mahogany and rose wood
and all interior hardware and the
hand-rails were of solid brass. French
plate glass adorned bulkheads between
compartments. There were lockers and
closets for every conceivable purpose.
No item that made for comfort or con
venience was omitted.
Sell Poultry by Weight.
F. (\ Ilare. poultry husbandman of
( Mem. son College, is urging farmers and
poultry men In South Carolina to sell
noultry by weight and not by the piece
or pair. This, he says, Is the only
equitable way. Selling fowls- the
'>air, Mr. Hare says, is usually unfair
to either buyer or seller. In Several
communities there has l>een a move
ment recently to adopt the practice of
selling by weight.

BATTLE IN NORTH SEA
VICTORY FOR BRITISH.
Another Attempt by Germany
To Raid EnglUh Coaat Met I
? WiUiPiimNffi ? L
Umdou. Jau. ?t~An attempt by a
German cruiser squad rou to rej>6?f the
recent at took on Scarborough, the
Ha rtel pools and other British coaat
town*, was frustrated today by the
British patrolling squadron, and In a
running fight the German armored
crulaer Bluecher was sunk and two
German battle cruisers seriously dam*'
age^
The British shift* suffered only slight
injury. So far an is known only 128
of the Bluechfcr's crow of H85 were
saved.
A battle alHo occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers accom
panying the bigger ships, but tho re
HiUt of tln^.t engagemeift has not yet
reached the Admirality.
The British were sui>erlor hi Hhips
engaged, weight of armament and
speed and the night of the German
ships into the mlue and submarine in
fested held possibly saved them from
further losses.
The Bluecher was a cruiser of 15,
560 tons displacement, and although
commissioned in 1008, was completely
re-rlggcd last year. ' She was not class
ed as a battle cruiser, but was in the
next class to those formidable lighters.
With her were the Derfilnger, Ger
many's latest battle cruiser, which had
just left the builders hands and the
battle erasers Seydlitz and Moltke,
the latter h sister ship of the Goehen,
formerly of th?l German but now of
the Turkish fleet which was recently
reported damaged by' the Russians in
the Black Sea.
The British squadron, commanded
by Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty,
who also was in command at the bat
tle off Helgoland, last August, consist
ed of the battle cruisers Tiger, Lion,
Princess Royal, New Zealand and In
domitable., The first three of these
cruisers mount eight 13-5-inch guns
each, and even the New Zealand and
Indomitablo carry 12-inch guns, which
are equal to those of the Derfilnger,
the only one of tho German ships that
had fetter than 11-inch guns.
Commodore Reginald Tyrwhltt, who
also took part in the hpttle off Helgo
land. commanded the light cruisers
and destroyers which accompanied vice
Admiral Beatty's battle cruisers.
The Germans were observed some
time after dawn proceeding in t indi
rection of the British coast. When
they sighted the Superior British fleet
they turned and matVj at full speed
for home waters and it was only after
a stern chase that the faster British*
ships got within range of them. The
running battle lasted more than four
hours, the firing being plainly heard
in North Holland, -where it was judg
ed the fight took place north of the Is
land of Amel and Sehiermonnik-Oog.
The Bluecher. which was slower
than the other U^rman rruleerH, rvil

wun Hh||m Kot within the tnlue uuU

dangeraua for the bin Urltiah little
cruiser to follow.
*VThe fact that only 11 were wound
ed aboard the Moii, Indicates that the
llrltltih casualties were light. It la,

' Spare the Birds. r
It was stated recently In a national
convention that protection of birds
from slaughter would save to the far
mers of the United States a large part
of their annual crop loss from insect
pests. The same speaker estimated
the annual loss from insects at some
thing more than $400,000,000. This
game seems well worth the caudle.
