RESCUED FROM A BARK
FIFTEEN MEN TAKEN OFF A WATER
LOGGED, DISSATISFIED VESSEL.
Saved by the Crew of the Steamer Bar
ceiona After a Severe Struggle
with Dangerous Seas.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The German
steamer Barcelona, which arrived to-day
from Hamburg via Halifax, N. s.. brought
into port the captain and fourteen men of
the Russian bark Cuba, which was aban-
doned at sea Jan. Is in latitude 1890 longi-
tude 1910, in a dismasted and water-logged
condition. Captain Bohn, OF the Barcelona,
reports that at midnight of Jan. IL a glare
Of light was sighted, which at first was
thought to be a ship on fire. The BARGE
Iona headed toward the light and on ap-
preaching nearer two huge flares were seen
from a vessel in distress. Passing close
by the crafts Captain Bohn with his night
glass made out that she was dismasted and
water-logged, and the people on the wreck
were waving and gesticulating violently.
At times hoarse shouts could be heard.
and finally cries of Help; we are sinking"
were made out. Although a very high sea
was running 1t was decided to make the
attempt to rescue the shipwrecked crew.
First officer A. Livoni and a boats crew
of five seamen managed to lower lifeboat
and get safely away from the side of the
steamer. After an exceedingly hard pull
the boat was successfully brought under
The lee Of the wreck, and after a severe
struggle ali of the men, fifteen in number,
were taken to the boat and to the steamer.
The Cuba left Ship island with a full
cargo Of timber bound for Bristol, England.
She met succession OF gales with very
rough seas, and the resultant pounding
caused her seams to open. The crew were
kept constantly at the pumps, but in spite
OF their exertions the water gained until
the hold was half full of water. On Jan.
IA terrific gale arose from the south
east. which blew with hurricane force and
threw the bark over on her beam ends.
After efforts to right her had failed the
masts were cut away and the gear in fall
ing smashed all the boats. The pumps
were kept going and the seas washed COM
pletely over the craft. keeping the crew
immersed in water. In this condition the
vessel lay throughout the 18th, 10th and
18th. On the latter date several vessels
passed by, one very close at hand, but no
attention was paid TO the distress signals
of the. Cuba. That day the water in the
hold caused the deck to heave and break
and all hope was gone until the Barcelona
came along and sent boat
The Cuba was built at Richmond, Me,
In 1872 and was 1.120 tons burden. She was
formerly under the German flag.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. JAM 3l.-Steve
Brodie, the bridge-jumper and sporting
man, of New York. died here tonight of
consumption.
Steve Brodie was born in the old Odd
Fellows Hall near the Bowery on Dec Is
1861, and soon began the life of a street
boy. He sold papers and blacked boots
until 1879, when the pedestrian craze came
on, and he became famous as the newsboy
pedestrian, besting some Of the best-known
men of that time. On July %, 1856. the
famous sump from the Brooklyn bridge
was supposed to have been accomplished.
Brodie jumped only from the yawl into
the East river and was picked up. \
v eighted dummy thrown from the bridge
above sank to the bottom. He secured an
engagement in a museum, and that money
was the basis Of his fortune. few years
later he invested it in the small. tumble
down saloon which soon became one of the
show places of New York. He plastered its
walls with portraits of sporting celebrities,
and gathered around him a picturesque
crowd of Bowery characters. His resort
entertained side by side people from Pell
street and visitors from Fifth avenue. He

him wealthy. Without her he might have
been notorious, but never prosperous. He
always acknowledged it. Almost all the
titles to his real-estate holdings are in her
name. He had four children-Irene, girl

ten, and two other daughters Mary and
