been found. From Oct. II, 1880,
the shipwrecked crew, numbering
thirty-hve originally, remained on.
the island until they were rescued.
Fortunately, in landing the crew
managed to save some three months
supplies of provisions from the wreck.
This, supplemented by sea-elephant,
penguin flesh, and penguin eggs,
with some sea cabbage, formed the
diet of the crew. On landing the
captain and crew found some small
wooden huts which had been placed
there by various whalers who occas~
ionlly visit the place in search of sea
elephants. These huts formed most
welcome shelter. During the sixteen
months of their enforced captivity
the sailors were engaged in hunting
sea elephants. In the winter season,
and, in fact, during most of the year,
the men suffered much from the in
tense cold, and on Jan. 80, 1881, two
of he crew named Bernard Kelly
and George Watson while out hunt
ing, and when crossing a glacier,
were overcome by the cold and were
frozen to death. On the 18th of last
month, about p. M, the forlorn
crew sighted ship standing along
the coast. Signals were made to her
by means of blankets, and the steam
er, which proved to be the Marion,
at once made for the anchorage.
Early next morning the wrecked
mariners were transferred to her.
Heard's Island is bleak island of
volcanic origin, and is about thirty
miles long by three miles wide.
