AariGmo arrived at quarantine on Sun
day. She brought Antonio Crisenole, AN
Italian sailor, the sole survivor of the
bark RosfaG. which left Cetania for this
port last September. Captain Fereirs,
of the Mariana, related to Times re-
porter the story Of the rescue and loss of
the RosinG. The latter, as told him By
the seaman saved on October 2Sth. in
mid-ocean. Captain Fereirs sighted The
bark drifting. he made sail toward the
stranger, and soon man was seen ges-
ticulating wildly. Captain Fereira or
dered boat lowered The boat made
its way to the side of the bark, which
proved to be the ROSi7lG. The man on
board jumped into the boat, which he
had eagerly watched from the time it left
the ships side. He could not speak the
language of mis- rescuers, but showed by
signs that it would be useless to hunt for
any more human beings. The decks Of
| the bark had been swept perfectly clean.
Everything had been carried away, and
the hold, loaded principally with sui
phur, was nearly full Of water. The
waves were making a complete breach
over the wreck, fore and aft. The R0si1aG
was left to her fate, and the boats crew
retured to the Mariana. The ship
wrecked sailor then told of the loss of
the ROSilG to Captain FeireiTa. He said
during the night of October 20tn, the
| sky became overcast, and there were in
dications OF an approaching storm Of
considerable severity. Next morning it
was blowing briskly and some light sails
| were taken in. Crlsenola says he heard
! his captain remark that they were in
Longitude 40, but he did not Learn the
latitude. AS the morning advanced the
wind became fercer, and at noon it was
blowing a hurricane. The bark was
under reefed topsails, keeping her head
as near the wind ss possible. The seas
were terrific and rolled up from the
windward, appearing like small noun
tains as they approached. The bark,
however, rode them without shipping any
great quantities of water. At 2 in the
afternoon the tempest was terrific, the
wind bowling furieusly through the rig
ging, and the uneven seas tossing the
vessel violently about. The captain was
then heard to call to the man at the
wheel to cling to his post, and those
who were below hurried on deck

the bark. She was about to rise with
huge billow, but tipped and fell before
it. The wave broke and rolled its vast
volume over.her. It seemed to Crisenolo
that he had been engulfed by the torrents
which roared over him, as he chung to
the hatehWay which went down between
decks. The water slowly passed away and
the bSrk emerged from under the surface
of the sea. The man had moment be-

sound but the Iosr Of the tempest.

seen struggling there, and no one could
be seen on deck. Crisonola hurried along
the torn and uDguarded decks, and
searched every corner of the vessel, but
no one could be found IN the wrecked
cabin, galley or forecastle, aud be ct last

furioIsly, and seemed about to close on
him ana the few frail plsnks which still
remained under foot. The survivor says
feeling of unutterable loneliness stole
over him. He crouched amid the ruins
of the cabin and awaited his fate, Satur-
day, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
passed, but not sail relieved the wide
waste of waters. On Wednesday he
thought of building raft, but the mate
risls were all gone, and he passed that
night IS the others before, without sleep
and very little to eat. Thursday even

the bark, which dritted ungulded before

no help came the next day the vessel
must sink, and he would be drowned or,
worse still, fall into the jaws OF sharks.
