The gunboat Akigi which was also engaged in shelling Port Arthur immediately ceased firing and went to the. rescue of the Saiyen. Finding that the latter was making water rapidly the Akigi anchored near the sink ing shipand co-operating with the other Japanese ships, launches sue ceeded in rescuing fifteen' officers and 175 men, bat the others went down with the ship.

'v NoRFotK, Va.j - Dec. zd.AiiT nbuncement of the : fact - that ; the grave of Virginia Dare, the first English child born on ..American soil, is practically unmarked 'and uncared for has aroused interest in a movement here to have erected a suitable memorial to her., ; ' ' It is probable that H. 1. May.; iiard, Representative in Congress from this district, will fae asked to petition Congress for an appropria tion toj cpver the cost of ' a suitable monument to take the place of "the wooden stab which now marks the iast resting place of Virginia Dare, on Roanoke Island, N. C. Roanoke Island is an isolated! spot; Comparatively few persons inhabit the island, which is occas- lonaliyj visited by huntersi espec ially daring the winter season, when duck and other ga jr,e are plentiful in the waters surrounding the spot. It was upon this island that colo I . - ' , . - nwis from Plymouth under, ? com mand of Governor John J?hite, the grandfather of Virginia Dare, sets tied in 1587. , Owving to the recent connection by cable communication between Norfolk and the island has become more frequent, and the .heretofore isolated! spot has been , brbugh tJnto some' prominence. TrarBctoi and from the island' will likely increase owing to new transportation lacili , ties, and it is v pi obable r that" the burial place of Virginia Dare wilj soon become .a M ecca for tour- Jsts. 1 - - The only mark designating the grave of; Virginia Dare is a-weather beaten boaid, placed there by one of the islanders, who happened to be conversant with the facts? in the history . of Virginia Dare. The grave is located on the "southern . end of the island. ' , - An early history of North Caio" lina records the fact that on Aug, 1 8., 1 587J 'JEIeanor Dare, "daughter of Governor John White and . wife of Ananias Dare (or of the Goy ernotf s assistantst 1 gave :j birth 5 tp a girl theTfirst English childTFborn pn American; soil, at Roanoke Is land, K 'C. The chijd was named Virginia, ;andi on the Sunday follow ing her birth she jvas christened. There is no reference as to who performed the baptismal rite, nor is thete in the list of colonists'; any name having a prefix or sufHk such as would denote that there 'was a minister among, them,; P : With hef birth 4 ind christenin g the histof ? of Virginia Dare begins and ends. (Hi story records that soon after her xbirth; her j grandfather sailed for England for supplies and that upon his - return no trace of the colonists whom he had left behind could be found. . - ; TAXBSTAXES! , . f - I am forced to, collect the; taxes of Person county ; in order that I p vy comply with the law arid i set bl e with th Stajtlanvist f All persons o wing takes: will pi ease come forward i.nd settle same at once, otherwise I will have to place them in the handsof my deputies, which s will add cost 'Jo which you already owe. . , 7 ! $l,000'Cafih: Reward!
