Of the sea; l pictured a terrible storm
in which a vessel pitched and rolled at
the mercy Of the raging elements: /
saw men desperately fighting for their
lives, heavy seas sweeping across the
deck, tearing away human beings from
their fastenings; the doomed ship roll
ed upon her beam ends, rapidly break
ms into mass Of wreckage; a mass OF
debris held the form OF a man; fol-
lowered its course as it was buffated

weary days and months wearing away
in the painful watch for a sail; then
the terrible frenzy of despair as our

attention of the Pluto by smoke-sig-
mails, and a boat and crew, well armed,
were Immediately sent ashore to inves-
tigate The unfortunate officer was a
physical wreck, having lived on shell
fish for several weeks
During the typhOOn of August his
vessel fOundered, his entire crew being
lost with the vessel. The Captains es-
cape from death was marvellous. He
says a strange steamer passed Saipan
shortly before his rescue by the ''Plu-

response was made.
By a strange coincidence, Captain
Sennen's brother, also a sea Captain, is
in port, and their meeting was an af-
