SHlPWRECkEO MARINERS
Fighting FIRE and Hurricane Until Over
come and Bieaehed,

LONDON, July s.-A dispatch from
Auckland, New Zealand, reports that
the bark Compadre, bound for Calcutta
from Chill, caught fire at sea. After an
Intellectual effort to subdue the flames
the captain steered his course for Bluff
uarbor. seaport of the province of
Otaga, New Zealand.
He had succeeded IN bringing his
burning vessel to the mouth of the har-
Dor, whena tremendous hurricane over
took her. The exhausted crew spent
their last energies in attempting to
keep down the raging fire aud at the
same time force the unfortunate bark
to face the tremendous winds and seas
which beat upon and rushed over her.
All was OF no avail. After desper-
ate struggle with the opposing elements
tine Compadre became waterlogged and
was driven with fearful force upon the
rocks of the desolate anu uninhabited
Auckland Island.
After incredible suffering the crew of
the bark succeeded in swimming ashore.
Here the miserable men we're forced to
spend l03 days and nights, suffering
the extreme wretchedness of exposure
and starvation. On the l04th day of
their being cast away their distress sig
mails were observed by passing sailing
vessel, and the soreiy tried sailors were
taken off in safety, but In distressing
condition of wea kness and emaciatlon.
During their enforced stay on the
island one of their number wandered
into the bush and was never heard of
again. 1t is supposed that suffering
drove the man mad.
