the three sailors rescued from the
Norwegian ship Thekla subsisted on

fourth companion. and lived ON raw
strips of meat cut from his corpse
From the time of their rescue

ferings in the rigging Of the foun.
dering ship. Two of them are now re-
covered sufficiently to tell the story OF
the ThclSla's voyage. The Thekla was
in heavy weather. they say. from De
Gem Der .. when she left Philadelphia.
Her decks were flooded almost con-
stantly. deck-houses and rails were
swept away andDhe steering apparatus
was broken. When it was found that
there was no hope OF bringing the ship
into port the master, mate and eight o.
the seamen got away in a boat The
other boats had been smashed by the
waves before they could be lowered
Nine men were obliged to remain
in the rigging. They were unable t.
get food from below. and five OF them
made insane by exposure and privL
ton, jumped overheard. The Other
four remained aboard from December
% until January :. the date of the res
cue. On the thirteenth day lots were
drawn TO determine which one OF tn
four should be killed and eaten. Tn
lot fell twice in succession to a Dutcl
sailor. and he was stranglcd and de
vourcd by the other three. The onl.
drinking water the scamen got was tn
