Exciting Experiences of the Crew Of
British Steamship.
The P. and o. steamer Egypt, which
arrived at Plymouth recently, had
among her passengers those Of the
crew Of the British steamer Indra, who
were so long missing after the
wreck of their vessel at Cape Guarda-
fui. The Indra, bound from Java to
Philadelphia with $500 tons of sugar,
was wrecked on August 20, about %
miles from Cape Guardafui in fine
weather. The crew left in four boats,
but the captain and second officer
were soon picked up and the men con-
veyed to Alden. Twenty-three days
later the remainder of the crew arriv-
ed there after extraordinary expert
ences. Two days after leaving the
Indra they fell in with a Somali dhow
which offered to conduct them to the
shore to find fresh water One of the
native crew understood something of
the language and gathered that the
strangers intended making prisoners
of the shipwrecked mariners and hold
ing them for ransom or selling them
into slavery. The Somalis had placed
an armed man in one of the boats, but
during the night he was thrown over
board and the towline was cut adrift.
Hosting sail, the two boats stood
away, but were soon followed in pur-
suit by the Somalis, who were seen
preparing their blow-darts and stones.
The sailors smaller craft was aban-
doned, its occupants being taken on
the sailing boat, which now had
thirty-nine people on board, with a
diminished supply of water and food.
In the darkness the Indra's crew eff
fected their escape, but another eight
days elapsed before friendly village
was reached on the Arabian coast.
Meanwhile the water supply was linn
tied to four tablespoonfuls a day,
whilst the last seven days there was
nothing to eat. The victims suffer-
ings were frightful. Several steamers
were seen but signals were not regard
ed. Day after day in the fierce sun
shine the Europeans, although longing
for water to mOiSten their cracked
lips, manfully kept up their spirits,
but the natives handed knives to one
another, and would have induced each
other to put an end to their troubles
but for the influence of the officers.
At last Barrai was reached, and dur
ing the twelve days spent ashore the
food was of the scantiest description,
though everything possible was done
for the comfort of the men. On reach
ing Alden the unfortunate men were
sent home.

breathing Exercise.

A breathing exercise, which is said
to work wonders in the way of filling
up the neck, hollows in the cheeks, ex-
panding contracted chests and curing
many of the minor ills which flesh is
heir to is taken thus: Stand out of
doors in the sunshine or by an open
window, hold the chest up and inhale
through the nose as long as possible.
Exhale equally slowly. Fifteen min
utes of this exercise twice day will
effect a great improvement in health
and appearance. The exercise is as
good for men as for women and is
sometimes recommended by drill SER
geants to young volunteers and others
by way of increasing their chest meas
urement to the requisite number OF
inches
