TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
Nine Sailors Are Rescued After BE

Nine Sailors Are Rescued Afler BE-
ing Days without Food.
Philadelphia. Oct. IL. - The British
steamer Evelyn. from Iuelva, Spain,
anchored In the Delaware river to-day.
She had Oh board the almost lifelcss
bodies Of nine sc:lmen. the crew of the
Norwegian bark Lovise. who were
picked up at sea after being adrift
without food or water far nine days.
Their condition when rescued was Il
most pttiable one. and so faint had
they become that it was necessary to
tie lines to them and haul their trem-
bling forms on board the steamship.
The particulars of the terrible suffer
ing of the men are mcager. as they are
still too weak to go into details.
i'lle condition of the vessel became
such that the crew could no longer rc,
main on her. so they put off in tho
remaining two small boats. hardly
dreaming that they would ever see
land again. Their struggle was a
desperate one. Days of anxiety and
suffering soon told Oh the unfortunate
men, three of whom lost their minds.
They raved and finally sank in absO.
lutte exhaustion. When the Evelyn
hove in sight these poor fellows lay
helpless in the bottom of the boat
They were too weak to realize that
their rescue had been effected. Capt
llornrr did everything possible for the
suffering sailors, and there is now
hope Of their recovery.
