RESCUED IN NIIDOCEAN,
Crow of the Shipwreckcd Vessel Non.
pateiI Had n Thrilling Experience

New York Especially A thrilling
tale of shipwreck and rescue in mid.
ocean was brought into port by the
British tramp steamer Glengoil, which
arrived from Alexandria, Egypt. She
had on board twenty-nine seamen res

Captain Hatfield, of the Nonpareil,
was among the saved. He said that
his ship sailed from New York Sep
tember 10, bound for Sourabay, Java,
with cargo of case oil. Two days af.
ter leaving Sandy Hook she ran into
a hurricane. The seas boarded the
vessel frequently, tons Of water fall
ing upon the deck doing considerable
damage to the fittings and finally
threw the vessel on her beam ends.
The Nonpareil remained in this posi-
ton, and all efforts to right her were
unavailing. Conditions continued tc
grow worse for several days, and Mon.
day, September II, the wind increased
to a fresh gale, and the ship was un.
der water on the port side. The gale
became so violent the crew were set
to work throwing over the cargo. The
seas, WnlCH swept over tne vessel,
washed everything from the decks,
filled the deckhouse and smashed the
cabin skylights. The cabin was filled
with water up to the deck.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of Sat.
urday, the 22d, the ship was lying al
an angle of 40 degrees and the crew
were in constant danger of beine
washed overheard. The chief officer
and several men had been injured. Al
$50 o'clock in the afternoon the Glen.
goil was sighted. She hove to and sent
a boat and took off part of the men
the injured being the first. All had tc
jump overheard, and were hauled into
the boat by rope. When the boat re.
turned to the Glengoil it was stove
alongside, but its occupants were safe.
ly landed on board the steamer An.
other boat was sent and made two
trips successfully. The last trip OF
the boat was made after dark. and
when she went alongside of the steam
