SAVED BY TWO DREAMS.
cas2away's Two Shipmates Dreamed
Of Him and Went to His Rescue.
The life Of Arthus Frazier, one Of the
crew Of the Eliza 8. Foster, the fisher
man Just in from the Grand Banks,
w>as saved by a dream, says Bucks
port (Me.) dispatch In the Boston Jour-
nal.
One day when he was out In a dory
there was a strong northwest wind and
a heavy fog shut down and hid the ship
from view. He was making for the
vessel with a heavy load Of fish, when
a heavy sea boarded his dOry. carrying
away one Of his oars and nearly max
ing his boat unseaworthy. This left
him in q helpless condition, and he was
at the mercy Of the wind and waves.
He yelled at the top Of his voice. The
men on board heard his cries, but could
not see him or understand what he
said. They could hear him as his voice
grew weaker and fainter till nothing
could be heard but the mournful wind
whistling through the rigging; then
his voice died away. He did not return
that night, and the wind blew almost
q gale.
In the morning the wind was strong
and the fog hung low. No sign OF
Frazier could be seen. There was a
large neet Of vessels from different
parts Of the world-France. Portugal,
ireland and America-and when Fraz-
Ter failed to return members Of his
crew went among the nearby ones and
reported a man lost. Not one had
heard Of him. At about noon the sun
came out and pushed the clouds Of fog
away, but the wind held to the same
point.
The Foster hoisted the flag to halt
mast to give notice to the fleet of a
missing man. The custom is in such
cases that should the man be on any
other Of the feet an answer Of flag
at haf-mast is given. No answer came
all the afternoon, the flag still held
that position, and the wind kept up al
most a gale. That night passed; no
Frazier appeared, and during the night
the wind shifted two points to south.
ard.
Next morning it was back to north
west again. Frazier was given up as
lost. 1t was supposed that the dory
was capsiZed when his calls We're
heard, so the men resumed work with
a feeling Of sorrow, for Frazier was
the Life of the crew, and kept them In
constant laughter.
At about o'clock in the afternoon.
as the cook was scanning the horizon
with a glass, he noticed a black speck
in the ocean He told the captain and
crew, and asked them to look. They
did so. One man said 1t was a whale,
another thought 1t was ship, and so
on. The cook and John White, who
were the close friends Of Frazier, be,
lieved 1t must be he, and proposed to
lower boat and go to meet him.
Both men had an odd dream the night
before. The cook dreamed that Fraz.
/ ier had lost an oar and that the wind
had borne him away, and he said he
was called out Of a sound sleep by
Frazier, who said: Don't give me UP
I'm beating back" White said his
| dream was that Frazier had broken his
| right arm and could use only one oar
, that he was alive and hungry In mid.
! ocean. Both men, on comparing notes
, found that they were awakened on the
same instant by Frazier calling them
and telling them: "For heavens sake
take a dory and come to leeward."
! When they saw this speck on the
/ ocean, they lowered a dory, in spite OF
] the jeers Of some others Of the crew
! and put off. They rowed in the direc
I ton of the dot, and soon were out OF
sight themselves, for a heavy fog had
| shut from view the ship. but not the
little tattered sail ahead. At O'Clock
they reached boat that was beating
! against the wind. and, sure enough, II
/ was Frazier. He was In the stern, us
ing the oar as tiller. 1t was just as
they head dreamed, he had but one oal
and his arm was disabled from a blow
received in fitting the main boom.
/ He was In a frightful condition. He
didn't appear to notice the boat until
they were within few hundred yards
of him; then White yelled to Frazier
and the latter tainted away with joy
His boat began drifting and the Other
oar went over the rail. 1t was quite 8
race, but the rescuers soon overlook
the dory and took the man to their Owl
boat, and letting the dory go to sea they
made for the ship.
That night there was intense excite
nent aboard ship. There were three
men missing now. Fog horns were
blown and bells rung until n late hour
and then, as If the last hope for theil
return had been given up, the noise al
died away. The trio in the boat, who
| had neared the ship, now could no
make themselves heard against the
wind. All night long did they bea
their way against the wind. their only
hope being to hold the same position
till daybreak.
AS the day dawned they were sur
prised to find that the fog had lifted
hat they had passed the ship, and
that they were about three miles Il
windward, but the feet was in sight
There was no difficulty in getting bach
to ship, where they were taken aboard
Frazier was nearly exhausted for wan
of food and water.
Old sailors say that not one man II
10000 would have had presence OF
mind enough to beat against the wind
