ly Towed into Halifax-The
Story Of the Seamen.

Quarantine, 8. l., April 23.-Tlie British
oil tank steamer, Potomac, which arrived
yesterday afternoon from London on her
last out ward passage, March 81, fell in with
the schooner Viking, from Ne wport News,
Va, for FAN River, in a sinking condition.
The Potomac rescued the schooner's crew,
who were in an exhausted cOdition, aod
succeeded in towing the schooner safely
into Halifax.
Capt. Leitcii, when seen this afternoon,
told the following story OF how he fell in
with the Viking and took her rintoport:
The Potomac left New York for London on
March 10 with a full cago of oil. On the
21st, at 1850 p. NJ, during fresh north
west wind and Rough sea, four -nasted
schooner was sighted flying signals OF dis
trcss. The Potomac altered her course and
bore down To the schooner, which proved
to be the viking.
On approaching the schooner Capt. .Gardi-
ner signallcd that he wished 10 abandon
her and TO send boats. She was laying TO
with sea anchor, her decks were all
awash and the sea was making clean
sweep over her. Two life boats were with
much difficulty lowered over the steamers
side and sent away. The schooncr's ere W
were meanwhile calling out to come quickly
alongside, as their vessel was sinking fast.
ON reaching the schoOncr's side her crew
jumped into the life boats, bringing
portion OF their effects with them. The
officers offered TO tow the vessel, hut her
crew reported that there was no hope OF
saving her and declined to stay on board.
Capt. Gardiner of the Viking stated that
f,r la hpr /
distress and several times was on the point
Of sinking. He had already thrown two
bottles overheard containing, what he
thought would he, his last message, and
nothing would tempt him 10 go back ON
board the schooner again. A s the weather
Indications were fine, Capt. Lcitch resolved
10 try and save the vessel aud ordered
a line to be run to her in order To make
her head the sea he tier and To endeavor to
keep her afloat till daylight next morning
but owing to the heavy sea aud darkness
coming on. the crew refused 10 go.
On the 22d, at $50 a. m, Capt. Leitch
and some of her Officers and crew went to
survey the derelct. They took the meas
urement of some iron fittings required 10
repair the rudder, and then returned to the
Potomac and made the necessary fittings
with the aid of the ships forge. An
other trip was made TO the schooner. the
rudder was repaired ;e,irer wreckae cleared
away, and the vessHl made as seawortby
as possible, pumping her out with the aid
Of a hand pump. rapsl Gardiner and a
portion of his crew assisting in the task.
A wire hawser was made fast to the ves-
sci, and n I / ] a. m. The Potomac proceeded
to tow her towI ri Halifax a distance of
go miles from that por', and steaming
at rate of eight miles per hour. The
derelict was brought safely into Halifax.
