The fate of ex: schooner became known when the crew of 11 men arrived here in lifeboats last night after having spent 24 hours at the mercy of the elements. A. Gregory, sailor, and Fred Mason the ship's cook, are suffering froni exposure. The other members of the crew came through without mishap. The Morso, owned by Dominion Explorers Limited, of Toronto, was on its way to visit far nortliern bases of the Company when the fire broke out in the engine room. Dense smoke made it impossible for the crew to successfully fight the flames. Twenty minutes after the blaze was discovered the craft was on its way to the bottom of the Bay. Members of the crew barely had time to scramble into the life boats, The ship was rocked by a terrific explosion when the, fire reached a store of explosives, destined for one of the Compaay's mineral bases, and sank in a few minutes. The lifeboats were quickly launched and, after weathering heavy seas along 'the ice- strewn shores, the party of 11 made a safe landing near where their ship Mineral Strike Causes Rush Of Prospectors to Stake Claims M ?| cently, (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) The Pas, Man, Aug. 27--A spcc- tacular miner strike about 20 miles north of Prince Albert has caused a new rush of prospectors to northern Saskatchewan that in numbers prom- ises to surpass anything the north- west has seen in years, according to word received here.

The announcement: in made yesterday's issue of The Times that the train would pass: through Oshawa between 5.45 and: 6.00 o'clock aroused the curiosity of hundreds of citizens, who filled the station platform to its whole length, awaiting the arrival of the unigue engine. It was shortly af- ter six o'clock when the tram, which had been delayed at a switch a little farther east, arrived: in Oshawa, and the crowd surged forward for the first glimpse of the mig\ty double engine, operated by oil and electric power, which had carried it from Montreal in almost record time, taking into considera- tion the lengthy stops made at vari- ous stations along the way. A New Epoch It is hard to describe in an in- telligible way, the appearance of the new engine, which marks a new epoch in the history of rail trans- portation, one that will revolution- ize railroading, for the trial run was a triumph for the engineers of the Canadian National Railways, who, after years of experimenting with various types of oil-electric engines, finally evolved the 9,000.
