SAILORS BADLY FRIGHTENED.
The Crew of Bark Desert Her When She
 Colllded in the Race.

The Crew of Bark Desert Her When She
 Collided in the Race.
 New York. Dec. A.-The two-masted schooner Annie F. Sawyer, Captain Nor wood, came, through Hell Gate to-day and docked in South Brooklyn. She had aboard Captain Brown. Mate Me Partland and the crew of seven of the abandoned British bark Talisman. which was lowed into Vineyard Haven, Mass, last night by the Boston Tow Boat company steamer Orion.
 The bark and schooner were in col lision on Saturday night last in the race at the eastern end of Long Island sound. The crew of the bark, believing that their craft was going to Founder, hastily boarded the schooner, which was bound from Rio Janerio for New York in ballast.
 Captain Norwood said: "It was about g p. m. when we were in the race. Gull light bearing south. It was perfectly clear and a good breeze blew from the northwest by north. We were close hauled on the starboard tack. We saw the bark directly ahead of us. She was running free on the wind and we had right of way. The first knew we crashed together. Our feadgear was carried away and we were bruised a lit- tie on the port bow. We had struck the bark on her port bow. Her head gear went away and with 1t the fore topmast and main royal came down by the run, smashing her boat on the for ward cabin house. We soon found that we were safe, but the men on the bark came scrambling over to our boat.
 "They said she was leaking. We tried to get clear. but we were held fast The bark's anchor had been forced over chain it carried out about ten fathoms of chain and then held, keeping us both anchored. It took us an hour to get free, and it was nearly daylight when we got into condition to shape our course. Meantime we offered to let the bark's crew board her again and re- cover their belongings. but none of them would go, though the watch be- low had rushed on deck when the col lision occurred, variously bereft of clothing and in their bare feet, and the captain had left his papers, instruments and watch. She was old, heavily laden with coal, and with water pouring into her, and they did not care to take any chances" ~
 It was said that just before the col lision the captain had gone below. The mate was on deck at the time. The bark was not insured. She had just been purchased from L. w. and P Arm strong of this city, her present owner being Captain Samuel Reynard of New York, his sister and Captain Brown, the latter holding three-eighths.
 The Talisman is 366 tons and was built in Baltimore, Md, in 1860. Dur ing the war she acquired 8 British reg ister to secure immunity from Confed- crate warships It is claimed that under recent decisions in admiralty the presence of a living creature in the shape of a cat will save the owners from paying the full savlage which could be claimed on her as derelict. i.
 As the Sawyer was docked Captain Brown of the Talisman took a train for New Bedford, from which point he will go to Vineyard Haven to look after his abandoned bark. The Sawyer can be repaired in a few days.
