the steamer leaked is much, the water gained on the
pumps, the donkey pump WU set to work. The steamer's
fires were put out, and the donkey pump became choked.

Sft. In the aftliold, awl it was above the boiler fire holes.
I Among the cargo was a quantity of caustic soda, and this

which destroyed skin awl flesh when it emu.: into contact
with it an that the crew had to lice to the deck, but this
they did not siiceeol in until several had been "bitten"
by the alkali, awl the first engineer guttered is
especially about the feet and legs. The steamer lay at the
mercy of the wind and sea from Thursday night to
Saturday, when after being ilium, intuit liy three vessels
passing, a Norwegian brig bore down and took on Imard
the steamer's omipany. Most kindly did the Norwegian
captain behave to these IS limn awl one woman, although
their presence caused the accommodation to be very
narrow. As we have said, they were brought in on
Thursday, and taken to the Sailors' Home, an institution
invaluable in such came, awl received all the help they
needed for the time, Mr. Crosby making thesis as comfort-
able as he COIII4I. Cu Friday the majority of the crew were
