Loud, the mate, and George Robinson,
seaman, have been landed at Salisbury
Md, by the schooner Samuel T. Beachem,
from Jacksonville, Fla, which vessel
rescued them on the afternoon of Novem-

Frying Pan Lightship.
The survivors had been without food
or water for ninety hours and suffered
great hardships, having chewed the
leather of their shoes to keep from starry

to tell just how their comrades persisted,
but they state in an incoherent manner
that the lost men were swept of one by
one from the wreck, as their strength
grew weaker, and were drowned.
