Rescue in the Bay of a DESERVING
Sailor.

After having been adrift three honrs in
the bay on a raft composed of pine boa I'd
laid on ladder. man. who gave hisIuame
as Frederick Jones, was picked up off the
south end of Goat Island by a fisherman
named Andre Condey and landed at Fisher
mans Wharf shortly before 10 o'clock last
night
Jones said he bad escaped from q vessel
at anchor in the stream, because he did not
want to go to sea in her. but ali efforts to
induce him to say what vessel he had de-
serted from failed. He had left the ship
soon after dark and took with him his
clothes, which he had tied in bundle.
He had hoped by swimming and pushing
his raft to be able to reach the shore. but
the water was so cold that he had to give
up swimming and allow the tide to carry
him along. He had not been afioat long be-
fore be was nearly sent to Davy Jones locker
by 4 stern-wheel steamer that passed within
dozen yards Of him, but while trying to
keep his seat ON the raft he lost his bundle.
He shouted, but those on board the boat
did not hear him or else took no notice Of
the cry for help.
He drifted close to several ships, but was
afraid TO call for assistance, as he thought he
would be returned to his own vessel. Jones
had almost given up all hopes of ever getting
ashore again, and had not his cries for help
been heard by Condey. who was ON his way
to this city, he would have been carried out to
sea and drowned. When picked up he was
nearly exhausted. and it was some time
before he could walk after he reached the
landing.
= Jones is an Englishman, and about %
years Of age. He had evidently left his yes
sci while under the influence of liquor, as
he vas far from sober when seen By a re-
porter after he landed. AS soon as possible

spent what little money he had i'll celebrat-
ing his escape from the vessel.
