Capt. Wilkie, with a crew of nine men and
three passengers, the latter Mr.. and Mrs. Dallett
and Spanish gentleman. On the 18th encoun-
tered heavy gale, which carried away the sails
and everything movable on deck. Finally, the
vessel became unmanageable and preached to,
and the masts were cut away, every eea making
clean breach over her. On the 10Th We saw a
schooner and made signals Of distress to her,
but she continued on her course. Had she laid
too all hands would probably have been saved.
Had little preserved fruit and some lager beer
that day. On the 22d there was a heavy north
west gale, the sea breaking over us fore and aft
The vessel had commenced to break up. The
Captain wished to take TO the boats to save life,
but was persuaded not to do it. In the afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. Dallett were exhausted. They
shook hands with the Captain and mate, babe
them goodbye, and expressed hope that they
would meet in Heaven. Mr.. Dallett took his
wifes waterproof and wrapped it around her
head. They embraced each other and the sea soon
swept them overheard The Spanish gentleman
shortly followed. He said his prayers wrapped
a quilt around his head, and leaped overheard in
dellrloub state. soon alter this the sea carried
away the after deck, with Capt Seward one
sailor, and boy. The stern broke away and
went next with the mate and second mate. The
mate drowned nearly alongside, and the second
mate was on a piece of the stern when last seen.
Only two men We're then left with my self Every
thing was gone down to the lower deck. We
were dashed to the stump of the mainmast, and
suffering terribly from thirst. A brig passed
close to us, but did not stop. We had some tai

blew gale all night, and ON Friday the gale
continued. Saturday We had fine weather. We
saw square-riggcd vessel to leeward We got
some candles and tin box of sardines, but no

One man became crazy from thirst and owned

southeast with some rain, but the sea WIS break

On Tuesday the gale still continued from tho
southeast AT daylight we saw a schooner
which proved to be the Addie Todd and on
making signals she lay to, but it blew too hard
for her TO assist When the gale lulled she
beat back to the wreck and, after trying five
times, succeeded In catching line and was

How Tweed Escaped.

William M. Tweed has furnished to
Harper's weekly the particulars of his
escape from the Ludlow-Stre Jail
and his subsequent flight from this
country to Spain. The chief points of
the narrative are as follows:
Having concluded upon flight, Tweed
resolved to go to Spain, as the most
eXpedlent shelter, in view of the alb
sence of an EXtradition treaty with
that country. One of the inmates of the
Jail with Tweed approached him with
proposition to escape, and outside
friends of this prisoner being called in,
Tweed was persuaded of the practical
blllty of plan which they presented,
and for the execution Of which g
agreed to pay a stipulated sum. No
member Of the bar, nor his counsel,
nor any friend or person whatever of
his previous connections knew of his
proposed flight, or had any part in its
execution.
Tweed understood that he was to be
taken in charge by well-organized
body of men, distributed throughout
the country, having every facility,
their connections and method being
thoroughly tested and well-established.
He was furnished with short key for
Geographic communication, and one
for postal facility. The latter included
system Of enclosures through five
different envelopes, with addresses at
removed points. lie was to find occa-
sion to visit his house and deliver him
self over secretly and unattended at
his own door.
The exact minute of departure was
aNed at eight o clock in the evening, not
more than one minute before or one
minute after that hour. The date of
his flight was LETT undetermined, but
he was to visit his house on certain
days, and, when the whole train was
ready, a sign was to he given by a
certain mark upon the stOOp, which he
would see as he assembled the steps.
Accordingly, Tweed took occasion TO
obtain from the Sheriff and ms
keepers the usual privilege OF
the Jail yard to visit his family
and transact some business. On the
evening of Dee. 4, 1915, he was driven
in a LGyk, attended by two keepers. to
his house. Ascending the stoop, he
saw the sign. Controlling himself
with some effort, he led his attendants
10 their Won,ed and welcome feast,
which on tu.S occasion WAS amply pro-
Nlued IN the dInin--room. The Keep
