water, a. great wave was raised in the narrow creek, and the backwash caus- ed some eighty feet of this bridge and staging to give way, thereby immers- ing some three hundred people. The staging gave one swerve, and then fell outwards. A scene of terrible con- fusion ensued, the shrieks of the drowning. mingled with the cheers of the thousands who were quite unaware of the accident. The police boats inâ€" stantly made for the spot, and, with the aid of several dockyard hands, a number of the people were pulled out, whilst many more scrambled ashore themselves. ril‘he unfortunate people who were thrown into the water ere for the most part inhabitants of the neighborhood. Several persons were taken out in an apparently lifeless con- dition, and immediately conveyed away to the sheds in the yards, and attended to. Then several dead bodâ€" ies were hauled out, one of the first being that of a baby. During the next. half hour eight bodies were recovered and taken to a shed, which was turned into a temporary mortuary. The half drowned girls and women were removed to the fitters’ shed, and there attended to by the firemen and sev- eral nurses. who were soon on the scene. Msanwhile heart-reading scenes were taking place at the approaches to the yard. The wildest rumors soon got afloat. and ever one who had) friends in the yard rus ed to obtain! news of them.

Certainly nothing was perin- id by the Duke or Duchess or by Mr. Feschen, with whom they remained chatting for some minutes. There were no shrieks, no price, no panic; but then the syrens filled the air with discordant sounds enough to drown any human voice. Very slowly the ele- vated reserved enclosure, surrounding the Royal stand, where the ceremony had been performed, was vacated, and the guests retired to their steamboats laughing and congratulating each othâ€" er upon having witnessed a spectacle which, in the beautiful weather, seemâ€" ed to be without a blot of *any kind. SCENE OF THE DISASTER. But at that very moment, hidden from view by the newly-launched batâ€" tleship, the terrible disaster took place A oridge across the end of an old disused slip, and part of the staging beneath the counter of the Shikis- hima, on an adjoining slip, had been crowded with sightseers. anxious to view the launch. This was in defiance of all the rules of the yard, and it is stated that on former occasions these wooden erections had been kept clear by the p01ice,in accordance with the notices on the danger board in the yard.

A Huge Wave Swamped a Stageâ€"Hundreds of Women and Children flurlcd Into the Turbulent Wailersâ€"Ilenrlremuug Scenes and Brave needs of Rescue. In describing the disaster that at- tended the launching of HMS. Albion. at Blackwell, on the Themes, on‘ June 21. The London Daily Telegraph Says: All the preliminaries of the launch were conducted in the usual way. Their Royal Highnesses were taken into an inner elevated draped stand, and a Royal salute was fired. On a. table there was stretched a silken cord of red. white and blue, which held the Weights suspended above the tw0 dag Shores. During the customary short religious service, performed by the Von. Archdeacon Stevens, vicar of St. John’s Stratford, and the Rev. Canon Pally. vicar of West Ham, the blows of the hmmor could be heard 8.5 the men under the vessel’s keel knocked away (the last blocks, until, whilst Psalm cvii., “They that go down to the sea. in ships," was being sung by the choirs of the two churches, all that held the ship was the silken cord. Aft- ar the Old Hundredth had been given Ind prayer offered, a silver-gilt knife, with enamelled heft, and design of York roses and May blossoms entwinâ€" ed. and the monogram V.M.Y., W35 handed to the Duchess of York by MT- Hills. The blade was inscribed with the date, and set forth the occasion. With this knife Her Royal Highness, at ten minutes to three. severed the cord at a. third attempt. Immediately the heavy weights fell, knacking away the remaining supports, and the Al- bion was in such haste to get away that she dld not give the Duchess time to christen her, by breaking the bottle of wine, which had 13. richly worked cover, that was afterwards presented to Her Highness, against the bows. It was Mr. G. C. Maekrow. naval architect to the company. who Smashed the bottle on the rail of the platform. But the incident paSSed unnoticed in the cheering and general jubilation as already described. HEART-RENDING SCENES Sheâ€"As arule a, man other women by his wife. Heâ€"Yes; and husband "by the v about other men WEREâ€"80’ he did; but it has supp’n- e‘d him with a nevgr-«fuiling topic, of conversation ever smce. It is the mother, rather than the father, who is called upon to secure the blessing of a. second imagination to her children. She ought to begin away back in the beginningâ€"math the very first surroundings of the new-born in- tent. Let it find its early life peace- ful, quiet and unhurried. And when infancy merges into that older period when young faculties are springing forâ€" ward in rapid development, and each day the little one takes on more of the hue of its larger fellowâ€"creatures. let her be doubly careful that no unâ€" timely scare stunts its intelligence, It is said that to be afraid of shadows is an inevitable passing experience of. childhood. Yet I know one small tod~ dler who never has shown any such disposition. but whose great delight is to play with h~r own shadow and other shadows when the lights are brought in each night. She is apecu1~ iarly sensitive, sympathetic, little thing, and could easily be made timid, by unwise treatment. But, under the sheltering care of fond and judicious: parents, she is remarkable for not knowing what it is to be afraid; and although she is given to unpleasant dreams, as many young children are. and often awakened with a start. a low word or touch soothm her into serenity. Happy above others is the little child who thinks of his mother as a veritable refuge from trouble. a bulwark against danger and a sympa- thizing presence.

The first natural duty of a mother is to protect her young; to create around it a shelter. in the midst of which the tender thing can grow, se- cure from shocks and seeing and hear- ing only what is good for it to hear and see. . . . By learning the signs of fear in a young child, and knowing how to distinguish true fear from wil- fulness, they will be able to exert a soothing and protecting influence at the right moment. and avert danger whose consequences are serious almost beyond belief in the case of our high~ ly organized excitable, modern chi1~ dren. » Tull; Lainiivreifiromo Quiuine Tamers guts refund the money if it mil. to Curev LEAD PACKAO ES Don't sweat and fret, but keep cool and take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. This is good advice, as you will find if you folâ€" low it. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a. first- class summer medicine, because it is so good for the stomach. so cooling to the blood. so helpful to the whole body. Make no mistake but get only. In an interview with Mr. Hussey. secretary of the Thames Ironworks Company, that gentleman said to a Central News reporter: “There is always a return wave at such launch- es, and we invariably label adjacent stages which this water is likely to reach with the word ‘Dzmgerous.’ Toâ€" day we followed the usual custom. but although police were posted about to warn people.and although (he warnâ€" ing word was printh in enormous let- ters, about 200 people got on to this particular staging. and were washed into the Water. Most of them were women and the majority escaped. It. was a most lamentable accident, es- pecially after such a successful launch. The Ducheg, I think. knew noihing of the disaster. unless she just caught a glimpse of the wane as she sped away in her steam launch; but that is not likely." In 1886. when {Her Majesty‘s shin Benbow was launched, the back-wash swept nine people into the water, but all were rescued. Haw’s‘mg‘: daughters. husbands their wives, brothers their sisters, but as no) as the itide was at its height. the depth of water rendered ‘their operations very difficult. One extraordinary circumstance at- tending the disaster was that the chief guests on the stands at the head of the slim were totally unaware that any accident. had taken place, and the mu- jority left Blackwall on the return journey without having heard the news. This was also the case of the Duke and Duchess of York, who left on the Beatrice. and arrived safely at Westminster about half-past four. THE STAGE “DANGEROUS.” knew who was on the staging ihat had given way the greatest anxiety was manifested. People ran about wildly asking everybody they met for news of their friends. and many touching scenes occurred when some last one was found to be safe.
