SEVERE SUFFERING.
Five Days in 3 Dory at Sea,

A sailor passed through the city yesterday
morning, forwarded from st. John by the
American consul to his home at Gloucester,
Mass Our informant got his story but failed to
get his name or vessel.
1t seems the sailor with his chum were off
the Banks in their dory setting travis. The
fog shut down on them and they were unable
to find their vessel, The second day storm
came on aud it was only by a miracle they
managed to keep from capsizing. The storm
aoated the second day, and then began their
sufffferings. They had not drop of water or
bit OF bread. The fog was continually lifting
and shutting down. AT times they would see
vessels and hail them, and then the fog would
close around them, dspelling all hope OF res.
cue. The desire for water amounted 10 fear
full torture, and it is probable the dampness
that saturated their clothes was all that kent
them alive. AS it was, this sailors oomrade
became delirious On the fifth day vesst
managed TO rescue them and carried them into
ST. John. The sailor who passed through here
was stout man of middle height, with fea
lures burned red by the sun and set of by iron
gray whiskers and nous ache.

AvERTING CAL AMITY.
President jackson Writes Letter TO En-
gineer Savage and switchman Will
liams

President jackson of the Eastern
road has written letter to John.
Savage, the engineer of the Pullman express,
and to l. FL. Williams, the switchman, thank
ing them for their prompt action in avertng
the accident at Beverly and stating that be-
lieving they deserve something more than
thanks, he shall report the matter to the
directors at their next meeting for their action
Further particulars Of the affair show that
the Pullman train was just about starting out,
the signals being all rights, when Engineer
Savage saw the Rockport train approaching.
He reserved his engine and backed the train,
just getting off of the cross track, at the same
time shouting to Williams to throw the switch
Fortunately, the latter acted promptly, and
the Rockport train dashed by the Pullman,
within a foot of the engine, in safety. Had
Savage started ahead, or even remained
stationary, instead of backing, terrible col
lision would have been inevitable.
Engineer Savage of the Portland accommo.
dation train, is entitled to as much credit for
his GOODNESS and nerve in remaining at his post
and backing his train, as Switchman Williams
But for his prompt action, Williams could not
have opened his switch, Williams was en-
ployed on the gravel train, and, the running
of the latter having ceased, he was temporari-
ly out of job; but on We dnesday he had been
specially engaged by the depot official in
Beverly to look after the switches for that day,
and was at his post of duty in season to avert
the accident.
