THE NEWS CONFIRMED
Captain John Irving, commodore OF
the c. P. N. Co., confirms the news OF
the rescue and adds: The third officers
boat was found at Hesquoit. which
place they reached after being two days
in the boats, but i'll provisioned, owing
to the loss overheard of portion or
their supplies, and with no shelter be-
tweensthem and the stormy sky.
The chief officers boat with seven men
was picked UP at Rafael Point, just east
ward of Sydney inlet, New Copper min
ing camp. They had been five days In
the boat and endured all the miseries
which fell to the share of their COM
rades.
The second officers boat Is unques-
! tionably lost.
The Ouadra did not go further west.
as it would have been useless to do so.
Some of the survivors are very much
used I'D and the Quadra in consequence
came on to Alberni for medical treat
ment.
The course Of the boats from the time
of leaving Starlight reef until one Of
them landed at Rafael Point and the
other at HestEoit harbar. is one of the
worst known to Pacific ocean mariners.
