great anxiety has prevailed owing to he-
unusually long voyage, arrived off Sandy

because of the high seas and excessive
cold.

chocks and swung out to 1eeward, with
a crew of four men with the fourth
officer in charge. The boat was safely
launched and cleared from the side Of
the steamer, and then the crew tugged
manfully at the oars, but failed to board
the distressed vessel. After struggling
for an hour, during which the boats
crew suffered from the intense cold,
which was further augmented by the
spray which dashed over the side of the
small craft forming instantly into ice.
The fourth officer suffered most, being
obliged to remain comparatively inactive
while his crew were exercised at the
oars.

steamer unsuccessful and was hoisted
on board Capt. Cameron then steered
the Teutonic to the windward of the Qln-
fortunate vessel and dropped down along

fering fishermen, who launched the
