terday afternoon: We had no difficulty what |
ever In rescnlng the officers and crew OF the
hears kears.rse We made the trip in fitty.eisht
Providence on the way back. Then We |
picked up the eight men who left Rom
cador with Lieut. Brainard to get help. We
reached Roncador at 10 o'clock on the morn
ing OF Feb, 10 and anchored several hundred
yards on the loop at the northern end. Within
throe and q half hours we had carried all OF
the crew and their goods to the steamer and
was fair and We found no difficulty in securing
an anchorage.
This reef is very dangerous and Is carefully
avoided By steamers. IL extends out eight or |
ten miles. and lies so that IL Is almost impos-
sibs to get an anchorage in heavy weather ex-
rept In certain places The reef has been mark ed
with wrecks from one end to the other. The
ies bur = few feet out OF water. The crew OF the
ksarsaree might have remained there a month
without sighting q steamer. We found all In
good health and getting along very comfort |
ably. The ships small boats had been turned |
up to AFFORD shelter. which was not especially |
needed. as the weather was very warm. |

Mr. J. j. Merritt. secretary OF the Merritt
Wreck ing Company. said Yesterday that so far
here had been no definite action taken on the
.ompAny's offer to save the wreck OF the old
corvette. However he said he believed that
secretary Herbert would make answer in day
'r two telling them to 90 ahead with the work.
