No Truth In 1t.

To the Editor of the Press:
The statement that the men "cast away on
Junk of Pork had plenty of canvas to pro
tect them from the weather. and had frying
pans and dough-and were withal much
better situated than has been reported, is en-
tirely without foundation. The men had
but small bit of canvas, so small that i,
afforded very. scant protection, and the YES
sci lay In such a position that nothing conld
be got out of her hold. The first story of
their hardships was truthful and correct.
