tremendous hoight of ihc seas whioh

stability of Ii^o savers to throw a lino

When night fall Tuoeday enshroud

steamer would either Ircak up or disappear
in tho shifting sands before
morning. A thousand persons awaited
along tho shore and tho fishertnon pro
parod to launch a boat at the first sign
of tho abatcniout of tho hurricane.
When day broke it was a groat rolief
for tho watohors ashore to find that tho
bow and other parts of tho fnropart of
tho ship worn still above water, though
tho stern had completely vanished A
group of men budded on tho stoatn r's

As tho day woro on inoro porsons ap

Tho Uussie lies partly on her beam

ANOTHER BOY GONE.
Kidnapped While Wrtlklng on an
Allnnta Sirjot
THE VICTIM WAS A STUDENT.
The Crime Whs Committed in
Broad D^Tligh . A Latter
Has Been 8?nc to the
B lys Father,
Frank Bass Fraz sr, of IJuion Springs,
Ala., a nineteen year old student ol
tho Atlanta Toohnologioal Hohool, wa^
kidnapped on tho streets of that oity
last Saturday weoW. 'Ho wan takon
in a stupefied condition to Kansas City
id is now hold thcro by hia aViduotors
for ransom Tho only olu? to tho perpetrators
of tho orimo is found in a lettor
mailed from Momphis and addressed
o tho fathorof tho boy, Captain N H.
Krazar. Tho lottor Htatod that vonng
Krazor was being carried to Kansas
City, but tho polioo of that city have
boon unablo to scouro any oluo as to the
kidnappers' identity.
An cxplioablo rnotivo for tho crimo
sootns ontiroly laoking. (Captain N.
II. Frator, fathor of tho kidnappod
youth, is a comparatively poor man.
Until six years ago ho had considerable
wealth, but buinoss rovorso at that
time swept his fortuno almost ontiroly
away. All tho circumstances surrounding
tho orimo aro oloakod in doep and
seemingly unfathomablo mystery.
Tho first intimation rcooivod by tho
parents of young Frazor of bis disappearance
in Atlanta eatno in tho shape
of a tologram from Miss (Jallio Williams
of 405 Spring street, with whom
Hiss Frazor boarded in this oity. The
young man was last seen at his boarding
house at 1.45 o'olock Saturday aftorcoon
He did not roturn to supper,
but this faot did not oause his room
mates any unoasincsss. It was taken
for granted that ho was taking toa with
Home oollogo friend.
When howovor, young Frazer failed
to show up at his room Saturday night,
Miss Williams gavo expression to some
uncasinoss. Tho fear that somo misfortuno
had happonod to tho young
man took firm hold of hor mind when
tho room matos of tho young man notified
her Sunday morning that thoy wore
untircly ignorant of tho oause of his
absonoo. Half of tho opinion that Haas
Krazor had gono to his homo at Union
Springs, and hoping that such would
provo tho oaso, Miss Callio Williams
addrosfiod the following telegram to
tho father of tho missing boy on Sanday:
"Hans loft Saturday at noon. Is he
at homo?"
This oamo to tho parents of Haas
Frazor as a first intimation of his disappcaranoo
from Atlanta, for tho reply
from Captain Frazor, reooivod lator
stated that Hasn was not at home
and iodicatod tho greatest surpriso that
he was not at his boarding house in
Atlanta.
Miss Williams was at a loss to nodoratand
tho situation, us sho felt a
responsibility attaching to hor in tho
matter of tho young man's safety.
Monday afternoon Captain h'rtror, at
his homo at Uoion Springs received
tho lottor which explained his son's
unusual absonoo from Atlanta.
This letter, whioh tells the tale of
tho kidnapping, was not datod by its
author, but tho envelope, whioh bore a
special dolivcry stamp, alao boro the
postmark, "Momphis." Tho words of
tho lottor had boon carefully printed
out and tho wording indioatos that the
writer is a man of meager eduoatiou.
The letter is as follows:
4lI)oar Sir?As kidnapping is all the
rago nowadays, wo have stolon your
son. We intended to Btoal him before
Christmas, but oould novor get a
ohanoc. Wo don't know your fiaan*
oial standing, as vour son refusos to
toll us and wo only found $15 on his
poraou- Ho is a boy 'way above the
avorago and wo need him in our buiinoHH,
we intendodto koep him, but you
might send a letter to Jim Glaoer,
Gonoral Delivery, Kansas City, as we
will bo in that oity by tho time thie
reaohes yon stating how maoh you
will give for his roturn, and if the
amount meets with my approval 1 will
write you more about it. Do not noHfy
any official authorities, as it won't do
