STRANGELY FOUND.
A Sailors wife swept overboardf from
One Ship and Met Again
on Another.


After separation of over three
years, during which period each
thought the other dead, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. C. Newlin have met once more, the
latter in the meantime having un-
consciously committed bigamy. New
lin il an Englishman by birth and has
been at sea ever since his birth. Be-
tween three and four years ago he
wooed and won the daughter of J. C..
Parker, captain OF the English bark
T. ]. North. After the honeymoon he
took ship as mate with his father-in-
law and took his bride with him on q
voyage to Chill. On the return voy-
age around the Horn the North, dur
ing one of the tremendous gales which
are SO often encountered in the far
Antarctic, struck reef and began to
leak badly. For 30 hours the crew stuck
10 the ship, but finding it impossible
10 keep her aaoat they prepared the
two boats for launching. Before they
could be got safely over the side a
wave caught Mrs. Newlin and swept
her into the sea. It was all the men
could do to get into the boats. They
succeeded, but that was all, and when
they cast loose from the vessel they
had neither oars nor food. For three
days starving and athirst, they tossed
to and fro upon the waters, drifting
at the will of the wind and tide. At
the end, living skeletons and so weak
they could not talk, they were picked
up by the English steamer Olympic,
bound for Philadelphia.
Mate Newlin was saved, but his wife
was gone and he could not forget her.
He drifted hither and thither, believ-
ing that she perished in the fearful
storm. Finally in his wanderings he
reached Long Beach, Cal, where he
took command of a yacht which was
used for excursions by health seekers
IN southern California. A few weeks
ago he was startled to see among his
passengers the wife he had thought
to have been lost off Cape Horn. She
was ss much astonished AZ her hus-
band Sewlin then learned that when
his wife was swept overheard she was
washed under the stern TO the other
side OF the vessel. Being a splendid
Awimmer and also having a good Nfe
preserver, she had comparatively little
difficulty in keeping sfoat, her feeble
cries for help being unheard amid the
roar Of the storm. After being tossed
about for several hours she was
picked up by steamer bound for
Seattle. As soon as possible she COM
municated with relatives in England
and learned in reply that her husband
had been reported lost while on voy-
age to the East Indies. A year ago
she married again and was on pleas
ure tour of California when accident
brought her and her husband togeth-
er. She IL now waiting while an ami
