Sixteen Survivors Of & French
Liner Picked Up in an Open Boat
and Taken to Grsenock, Scotland.
Thirteen Died Of Hunger and
Thirst.

LONDON. March 2S.-The British steam
ship Yanarva. Captain Weston. which
left Newport News on March 10th, bound
for Glasgow, arrived at Greenock to-
night. The captain reports that on March
10th. while it latitude 81. longitude Il. he
picked up "A small boat containing six
teen survivors of the steamship Vile de
St. Nazaire. of the West Indian line of the
Compagnie Generate Trans-Atlantique.
which foundered in the great storm OF
March 7th. off the Virginia Capes
They had been without food and water
four days. and were in state Of extreme
exhaustion. and were bordering on mad
ness. The officers and crew of the Yam
ariva did all in their power for the un-
happv victims of the ocean horror, and
finally learned their pitiful story piece
by piece. They say that four boats were
launched two containing twenty-nine
each. the third seventeen. and the fourth
six. The boat picked up by the Yanariva
was one of the two that took off twenty
nine but thirteen Of these succumbed to
exposure. hunger and thirst.
The last the survivors saw of the other
boats was on the day the vessel foun-
dered. when they saw two of them lashed
together and empty.
For some time after the rescue the cap
tain of the Yanariva kept an officer at
the masthead. sweeping the horizon with
a glass. in the hope of getting some trace
of the other boats; but there was no sign
of them. As night was falling rapidly
and the sea and winds were increasing
with mist and rain, the Yanariva pro-
ceeded.
The second officer of the Vile de st.
Nazaire is among the rescued. who will
be taken in charge by the French consul
at Glasgow.

In February, 1865, Mr.. Blair was
present at q White House reception, q
general reception, open to everybody.
Mr.. Lincoln was attended by Judge Da-
vid Davis, who took the names Of all
comers and introduced them to the
president.
OF course there was crowd, and no.
body had time for more than q word
and handshake. Mr.. Blair was pre-.
sented to the president, and then step
ped aside to watohrthe show. Mr.. Lin
coin and Judge Davis carried on con-
versation, constantly interrupted though
it was
Now says Mr.. Blair, 'it was
How do you do, colonell' or MY brave
boy (this to q young soldier) or I am
glad to SEQ you. OF some other phrase
Of cordial recognition. y
There was no official starch, but what
especially impressed Mr.. Blair was re-
mark made BY MI. Lincoln in a perfect

enough to be heard by many Of the by
ISLANDERS.

The Worlds Largest Plant.

1t is believed that the largest plant in
the world is the gigantic seaweed, the
nerescytis, which frequently attains
the height of 300 feet. The stem is as
strong as an ordinary rope, and large
quantities are dried and used es such
by people of the South sea islands. AS
soon as plant takes root, a pear-shaped
balloon is formed which grows with the
stem. This balloon often has diameter
of six or more feet. 1t keeps the stem
growing upward until soon it floats
upon the surface Of the water. The weed
sometimes grows in such quantities as
to impede navigation. The ropes are
used for building purposes, and the bal
looms make serviceable vessels.
