patrons OF the library if they would make
some small effort in beginning any selected

SAN Francisco. Nov. s-The whsl-

which aided in -escuing the ouly sur
vivors, five in number, including Fifth
Mate Ward, boat steerer, the cook
Ocey Kershaw, and two sailors.
The Mar had taken five whales before
October 4, a catch considered fair. On
the morning of the 9th a seventh was
captured and-the bark drawn along
side for the purpose of cutting up the
catch. The men were all engaged and
did not notice the grinding of an ice
foe TO the east of them. A moment
after the disaster came with rush,
overturning the bark upon the whale
and the men at work on it. Vessel and
boats were crushed into splinters,
and the men who were thrown under
the ship were either drowned or killed.
The survivors managed to grasp por-
tious of the main mast and were car
ried over on the ice foe as it passed the
vessel, the fragments of which, with
the dead sailors, were buried under
tons of ice. The half-frozen sailors
chung TO their support for forty-eight
hours before they could attract aid.
Finally their signals were seen by the
steam whaler Occa, which sent a crew
to their rescue. They were removed
from the foe only after heroic exer-
tons.
