WRECK OF THE
- "WARREN HASTINGS.
-How Those Aboard the Brit-
ish Indian Troopship Were
Saved.
London Jan. 27. A dis
patch to the "Daily Telegraph"
from Port Luis Island of Mau
ritius published today fur
nishes particulars of the wreck
of the British Indian troopship
Warren Hastings which was
-wrecked off the Island of- Re
union on Thursday January
14. The ship it appears ran
ashore at 2:20 a. m. It was
pitch dark and torrents of rain
were falling. She" had on
board soldiers and crew to the
number of 1 23 1 men. in addi
tion to a number of women
and children the families of the
married men of the military
force.
When the ship struck the
troops were ordered to retire
from the upper deck to which
they had flocked on the first
alarm and to fall in below.
This they did promptly the
most perfect discipline prevail
ing although the men were
full)' conscious of the danger
which they -were in. Th.y
were quietly mustered on the
'tween decks without confusion
or excitement. Owing- to the
fact that the surtboats could
""not be used in landing the
troops two officers of the War
ren Hastings were lowered
from the ship's bows to the
rocks and when it was found
that a landing could be effected
in this way the disembarkation
of the soldiers was commenced
at '4 o'clock Commander Hoi
land hoping it was safe to re
tain the women and children
and the sick on board until
daylight. But the steamship
was soon found to be heeling
over so rapidly that every one
was ordered to the upper deck
the danger of capsizing being
imminent. -
Thereupon Commander Hoi
land ordered the landing of the
troops to be stopped in order.
that the women children andeountrJr II11SP at CaPp Town
sick persons should be landed
immediately. This order was
obeyed with admirable disci
pline. By 5 o'clock the decks
bad heeled ever to an angle of
50 degrees to starboard and
the boats were all swept away.
Thevorood swimmers were then
permitted to swim ashore car
rying ropes. By this means
many others landed and the
disembarkation of all on board
-was completed by 5:30 a. m.
with the loss of only two native
at servants. Many acts of gallan
"Jry were recorded. .-

Cameron County is the extreme
southern county of Texas. It is
separated from Mexico by the. Rio
Grande on the south and has about
100 miles of gulf coast as its east-
ern boundary. It was organized in
1848 and contains 3308 square
miles. Farming and stock raising
are the principal industries of the
people the location climate and soil
being admirably adapted for both.
The greater portion of the soil is a
rich loam and produces an exceed
ingly heavy yield of both cotton
and corn the chief farm products.
Two and-sometimes three crops of
corn averaging from fif tv to seven-
ty bushels per acre are raised year
ly while cotton will easily yield
from one to two bales per acres.
Grasses grow all the year.and stock
find pasturae without being fed or
sheltered during the winter. But
the soil and climate of the Lower
Rio Grande Val:ey are by nature
best adapted for the production of
vegetables and fruits. Vegetables
af all kinds grow all the year
oround and northern people are as
tonished to finri tomatoes lettuce
spinach English peas etc. served
fresh from the gardens in midwin-
ter. This is undoubtedly the par-
adise of track gardeners and so
soon as rail transportation is ob-
tained Cameron county vegetables
by the car load will be shipped to
northern markets during winter and
early spring and will obtain the
highest prices as there will be no
coinuetition. This is due to our
exceedingly mild climate. Fre-
quently the entire winter passes
without a single frost and there is
rarely ever any cold weather before
Christmas. Fruit culture has not
been attempted in this county on a
large scale bnt there is one large
banana plantation on which this
delicious fruity yields most abund-
antly and in the greatest perfection.
Grapes are also raised extensively
growing in almost every yard. They
ripen from two to four weeks ear

nlso one of the most important pro-
pucts of this valley. The Rio
Grand plantation of Mr. Geo. Bru-
lay and the Rabb Starck plantation
produce grat quantities of cane
which is all manufactured on the
Rio Grande plantation This cane
makes sugar which is produced by
experts to be even superior to the
best Louisiana product. Havana
tobacco ha? also proven a success
here Col. J G. Tucker bavins:
made some most successful experi-
ments with it; his samplp-? were
classed by New Y'rk buyers as
equal to the best Havana.
The county is watered by the Rio
Grande with it? ample flow along
