NAKED NAV OPEN Boat.
The Terrible Experience of Three Sailors
ola Wrecked spanish Bark.

Naked, furnishing for food and water.
and almost roasted by the tropical sun.
three Spanish sailors We're on October
18th rescued from a small boat in mid
ocean, and landed recently at this port
from the schooner Henry Lippitt, says
the Philadelphia Record. Their story
rivals I'm horror the most thrilling re-
cital OF the dime-novel writer and that
they were saved at all is considered by
them as little short Of a miracle
The men are Pedro Nagloles, Antonio
Crimer and Llogio Peres, and they formed
part OF the crew OF the Spanish bark
Juan j. Murga, which on September lst
sailed from Mobile with a cargo OF
slaves for Seville, Spain. The men were
picked up in latitude 50.36. longitude 1905,
the small boat in which they We're drift
ing helplessly, having been sighted by
the merest accident. The schooner Hen
rs Lipptt was bound for this port from
Turk s Island, and the tiny boat was at
first supposed 20 be bit OF wreckage.
The lookout, however, thought he saw
signs OF life, and the vessel was put
about and soon came alongside OF the
open boat. Then 1t was seen 10 contain
three occupants All were lying face
downward in the bottom. They were
entirely naked and great sun blisters
covered their backs.
Tenderly they were lifted 10 the schoon-
er's deck. and though they could speak
20 English their cries for food and water
were pitiful in the extreme. They were
delirious, and when they reaizd that they
were safe began 20 dance and hug and
kiss the brawny sailors who had rescued
them. They were nursed like babies
until out of danger, and il was several
days before they recovered from the aw-
full experience they had endured,
Finally they were able 10 tell that they
had sailed from Mobile, under Captain
Linares, in time to catch the early Oc-
tober hurricane. Their vessel was soon
thrown on her beam ends and became a
hopeless wreck. All hands took to the
boats. having time only to store a scant
supply Of food and water. The sea was
running high. the small boats were leaky
and the men realized that they could
hardly live through the storm. All re-
moved their clothing in order TO be able
10 swim for the wreckage Of the bark
should the boat capsize. The three men
rescued were once compelled to swim
while they righted the boat. and they
managed to live until the Lippitt hove
in sight.
The Juan J. Murga had a crew Of nine
teen men. Four were picked up by the
steamer LampdSdS ana landed AT bdlNes-
ton. They were also naked and famish-
ing. Nothing has been heard Of the other
twelve, and they are probably lost. The
three landed here will be cared for by
the Spanish consul and sent home as
soon as possible. They Joined in card
Of thanks TO Captain Benjamin Howes
Of the schooner that rescued them. Both
captain and crew are warmly praised
for their kind and humane treatment OF
the men who passed through such an
awful experience.

OREGON FRUIT At TIE FAIR.

That Oregon's exhibit is well
worthy Of the state is evident from
the following clippings:
Chicago Evening Journal: a
representative collections OF fruits
from the growers Of Oregon is
arranged on the east side of the
north hail in a glittering array of
glass jars. Oregon prides herself
on her prunes. Her soil prolEces
with utmost imparti;,Iity Italian,
German, French, Hungarian and
her own ''silver prunes.' When
it comes to a matter OF size The
state is also well to he fore. There
is a pear in her exhibit which
neasuses 8 inches and weighs 1 J
pounds; a "Gloria Mundi'' apple
weighing 2 pounds. a cherry SO
inches III diameter. and peaches
175 inches in circumference.
Chicago Tribune: In the horti
cultural building, Oregon. which
was the first state = in complete
readiness and which opened May
1st., makes an exhibit which
should be seen by all. It is a
wonderful story of the resources OF
that state. lis plan OF display is
remarkably artistic and shows its
many varieties of fruits in jar and
on plate to great advantage. In
all there are 400 plates Of apples
that make the mouth water, and
80 immense jars Of fruit in solu-
ton. There are monster pears:
ounces, plums, peaches, apricots.
cherries and grapes, any one OF
which, except the two latter, would
DO for dessert for a medium sized
family. There are 96 cases OF
primes, sun-dried apples, pears
plums, peaches and other fruits.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Sections
of the horticultural hall contain
fruits and vines, or more properly
speaking, the displays Of the
bureau of viticulture and pom
ology. OF the latter Oregon, Cali
fornia, Utah and Nova Scotia have
exceedingly fine exhibits ready fol
inspection.
St. Louis Grocer: Oregon is
making a display Of fruits at the
worlds fair that will be viewed
with special interest by fruit t-grow.
ers and Gamers. In the exhibit
ar pears weighing fonr pounds
peaches as large as foot balls
apples six inches in diameter
plums larger than goose eggs, cher
ries that require half a dozen bites
to dispose Of them and strawber-
ries as large as common apples.
Other abnormally large fruits and
products Of the soil are also eXhib-
tied. Oregon is the first State to
install an exhibit Of pomol" gy
The fruits are inclosed in glass jars
of various sizes. and arranged with
a view to harmony of colors. The
space allotted to this stale is 81
lineal feet against the wall and 80
lineal feet Of fable space directly
opposite. This space will b. iiI!ed
with ripe fruits in season, supplied
from Oregon by express. The Jars
containing the fruits are Of fanci-
full design, and will be arranged III
tiers upon stand made of native
woods. Oregons' horticultural eX-
hibit at Chicago is highly spoken
of on all hands.
