Suddenly the captain of the Zazpiral dis- cerned the Orenyl closo upon him, and ordered full speed astorn. A moment later there was a tremendous impact, and the bow of the Spaniard was carried away. She at once began to settle down by the head, and within three minutes had dis-- appeared from view.
The crew jumped overboard, and in their frenzy fought one another in the sea for possession of floating wreckage to which to

The captain was the last man leave the sinking ship. He jumped over the stern. As soon as he reached the water the revolving propeller struck him, inflict- ing fatal injuries, and throwing his body into the air.
The English steamer was bably damaged,. but, fortunately, remained afloat. The captain at once ordered the boats to be lowered, and efforts were made to save the Spaniards. The work of rescue was very difficult, for the fog was dense, and there was much floating wreckage. Ten men were rescued, and taken aboard the Cresy, and there is no doubt that the remainder perished. Only one officer of the Zazpirak, the chief mate, was saved. All the crew. were Spaniards.
One of the firemen told a thrilling story, with revealed the heroic conduct of the chief engineer :--
^ I was below at the time (said the man),. and heard, the signal for full spoed nstern. Immediately following the signal there was a tremendous boom, as if there had been an explosion, and we were all thrown off our feet. The chief engineer seemed to realise what had happened, and shouted for all of us below to get on deck. Some of us tried to get our clothing and belongings. The chief engineer remained below until every man had
gone up the ladder, and I believe this thought for his mates cost him his life, for we never saw him again. When
on deck the bow of the vessel was already under water, and the stern in the air, the propeller still revolving, for we had not even had time to stop the engines,

The sturgeon, despite his lumpy armor, furnishes a valuable and attractive leather. When the bony plates are taken off their pattern remains on the skin just as the pattern of alligator scales remains on alligator leather. The Pacific Const stur- goon and the sturgeon of the Great Lakes produce a tough leather that is used to make lacas for joining leather balting for machinery, and the laces often outwear the bolting.

The savages who wore this fish armor also used to wear a fish helmet.
It was
made from the skin of the prickly porcupine fish, and besides protecting the wearer's hoad, it was used as a weapon of offence. The warriors butted their enemies with it, and as it had hundreds of ironlike spikes, the operation was eminently painful to the object of attack.
In Gloucester, the 'king town' of fish, the humble cod has been utilised with success for making leather for shoes and gloves. In Egypt men walk on sandals mado from the skins of Red Sea fish.

The writer was the unhappy mem- bor of a European private school where one of these polskin whips was a prominent instrument of discipline, and he has never cared for eols since then.
Along the big salmon rivers of Siberia the natives often wear brilliant leather garments dyed red and yellow. They are made from salmon skins.
In Alaska beautiful waterproof bags are made from all sorts of fish sking.
The quecrest use is that to which the in- testines of the sea lions are put. They are slit and stitched together to form hooded coats, which are superior to in- diarubber as waterproof garments.
