BRoUGnr IN II WRECKED SAILORS.
The Crew OF the Bark GalntoIa Saved by
Whaling schooner.


New BEDFORD. Mass. Aug. 2S.-A crew Of
eleven sailors from the italian bark Nincenzo
Galatola. which was abandoned at sea. of
Hattoras. Aug. "a. while n voyage from
Charleston. s. c. for Hamburg. were brought
to the port this afternoon by tho little whaling
schooner Hattie + Smith OF Edgartown.
Capt. Zenas Bourne. which herself has ufrered
damacs in two gales which she has encoun-
tered within the last ten days. On Aug. "A.
about 9 o'clock In tho morning tho schooner
fell in with the badly crippled bark. All Of tn 0
Galatoa $ sails were blown away. her foretOp-
mast was gone. and she was very low In the
water.
Her crew made frantic signs to tho whnler
and Mate johnson, at the risk Of his life and
those of his crew. launched the only remaining
boat and pulled toward the sinking bark
They could not 80 near for fear of being stove
and so made signs for the crew to lump into
the water
One BY ono the mon jumped into the sea
and were all safely picked up by the whale
boat. two trips being necessary to take the
eleven men off.
Capt Bourne reports having been in COM
pany with the schooners Alcyone. George H.
Phillips. Golden City. Rising Sun. and Sarah
W. Hunt a day before the first gale and they
must surely have been caught In it.
The crew OF tho Galatola were taken to the
Seamans Home and will be sent to Boston to-
morrow. The NincenZo Galatola was a fine
bark of go tons. built at Castellamare. Italy,
in 1870. and was owned by Antonio Galatola
OF Naples.

MORE RUMORs ABoUr PEiRr.
1t Ia Said His Burros Died and tIe Wouldn't
Pay Labrador Prices Tor Dogs.

Fay Labrador Prices Tor Dogs.
ST. JOHNS. n. F.. Aug. 2s.-Further discourag-
ing news concerning the Peary expedition
comes from Labrador by the mail steamer
arriving here last night. According 10 the last
report. Peary was at Davis Inlot on Aug. .. and
on the 9th had reached Main There he tried
again to purchase dogs. but failed He offered
tho Eskimos 40 cents each for dogs. but
they would not sell. and 30 he left for
Okkak. tho next Moravian settlement. As he
would not pay greater prices there either he
could not get dogs. Then ne announced his
intention Of going to Hebron, Ramah. and
othor settlements farther north. and IL unsuc-
cessful there. would depend upon getting dogs
at Disco. Greenland.
:, Dogs arc now doubly necessary to Peary. as
and consequently it is impossible for the
expedition to accomplish anything without a
far greater number Of dogs than at first was
considered necessary.
The above dispatch goes on to say that
Peary's actions are suicidal. that his prospects
are very black indeed. and other comments re
know more than Lieut.. Peary does about the
proper way to carry out an Arctic expedition
The statement that he is badly in need Of dogs
the fine Labrndor animals. seems sufficiently
ridiculous: For his sledge Journey of 1892 he
secured all the dogs he wanted at and near his
winter camp in North Greenland, and there ls
draught animals oven if he fails to get dogs at
Disco.
At tho northern posts in Labrador. which,
according to this despatch. he reached early
this m onth. he was in the latitude Of the south
end OF Greenland and within two days run of
Disco we have no reason to believe that this
year he has been any later than many of the
exploring expeditions in pushing across Mel
vile Bay to his winter camp
