italian bark Mici Nepoti. Captain Bazone, from
Bangkok. The storm stove in four of her bull
warks, shifted her cargo, and stripped of her
sails. But the most tremarkableincidento Of the
cyclone is thus narrated by Captain Bazone:
"The gale struck US from north-northeast ON
September 9. The men had just gotten about
their work when heavy sea struck us. When
the wave had passed over US and the ship had
righted six men Of the crew were no longer on
board. They had gone of with the wave. and
could easily be seen struggling on its crest.
The next moment they disappeared in the
trough Of the sea. Swept on by the waters
they neared the ship. The retreating wave
dashed them up against the railing of the bark
just as second wave came sweeping on rs.
The men, however, had the presence Of mind
and strength to seize the railing. and after the
second wave had passed over them to climb on
board. All six were saved. 1 think our adven-
ture is unprecedented"
