Cedar KeyG Commercial. Ga Monday
evening the steamer Mistletoe came in port
and brought Rev. r. A. Wade, who was
found adrift in small skiff boat about
nIUy miles west from CEDAR Keys, Of
Esteenhatchie. Mr.. Wade moved some
time siuce to an island he owns about ten OF
twelve miles west of Cedar KEYS, and
| started last Saturday he says, to come to
Cedar Keys for provisions. His knowledge
of the creeks and outlets leading to this place
not being good, it took him until night
TO get to Piney Point, where be ran his
boat In the grass and rested few minutes
When he started again he pulled about
twelve feet from the shore and started for
town, but the wind and tide being SO
strong, it drifted him in spite of all his
efforts, over TO Sea Horse Key. Here he
tried to effect a landing but failed, and
soon found himself drifting in a southerly
direction. After going quite distance to
the south, he steered north aud west, and
after undergoing all sorts of experiences
found himself Monday afternoon, completely
exhausted. Tieing his tiller so as to steer
a certain direction, he laid down and went
to sleep. He does not know how long he
slept when he was awakened by the bow
ing Of the steam whistle of the Mistletoe,
which was near by. He informed those on
the steamer that he was lost, and was taken
aboard and brought to this place, and is
now under the roof of Capt Fl. j. Fred
erick, where he is being kindly cared for.
Mrs. Wade and little Stella, their daughter,
were sent for and arrived Tuesday. Mr..
Wade says he came near dying with sea
sickness, and that the waves were six aud
eight feet high.
