THE F%OUNDERED SHIP
sa~taia Gilbert, of the Barkentine
new and His Crew Arrives in
wiIminEton-Their Ihr1il1nS Ex-
p~erienee After Leaving Their
ship.

Captain c.. II. Gilbert n crew Of
seven men. who escaped from the
foundered American Barkentine Nine
yah, came to the city yesterday morn
ing en- the steamer Southport from
Cape Fear life saving station. The
captain and his men were we'll and all
were in as good spirits as could have
been expected after their terrible ex-
~perieaee.
Captain Gilbert is a guest Of the
Bonitz House. and when seen he read
lily gave an account of his thrilling ex-
perience. He states that the ship
foundered to the southwark OF Frying
Par shoals on last Thursday He says
ne had on a cargo Of buck wheat
COAL which is small, and that when
his shin left Delaware headquarters
everything was in good condition. Inc
voyage was without incident until the
ship got off Hatteras on the North
Carolina coast when he encountered
one Of the most fearful storms he ever
experienced at sea. The seas were
tremendous, and the rolling and pitch
ing of the ship caused the cargo TO
shift owing to the smallness of the
coal. The shifting of the cargo. he
states, was the cause OF the subse-
auent disaster. 1t caused the vessel
to list with her rail under water. and
az she was thus at the mercy of the
heavy seas, her bowsprit was finally
smashed near Frying a shoals. n
ship could therefore be managed no
longer, and in the meantime was fill
ing very rapidly with water. The cap
tain say VS. he and his crew stood by the
ship and did all in their power to save
her, even risking their lives in their
desperate efforts. They had to crawl
around on deck and pull themselves
around by the rigging to keep from
being swept overheard by the tremen>
dous seas that We're constantly wash
ing over them. AL hands were con-
stantly drenched and cold, so OF
Thursday he ordered the men to lower
the life boat. With great difficulty this
was one and the men finally got into
it and piled away from the fast sink
ing ship. A short while after they left
her she went to the bottom Of the sea.
The first day out they sighted three
steamers, but lone of them came tc
the rescue.
In great peril the men in the life
boat then tried to reach the coast
Their small boat rode high on the
ourtai waves and it was all they
could DC TO keep her from being
swamped. They had only a small
amount of fresh water and a few
crackers. and with hunger and thirst
threatening them. and the sea ready
to swallow them up they still pulled or
to save themselves. With no sleep
they were buffeted about on the ses
for 50 hours, and during the last 2
hours a given out of water. FINAL!
they sighted land and entered Lock
woods Folly inlet and thenc roWeC
up to the life saving station.

Letter to Donald MacRae, of Will
mingtOn.

Dear Sir: Everybody considers paint
ing q necessary nuisance, and you are
probably no exception.
You can't abolish it altogether; bun
Iyou can make it come half as often,
land cost only two-thirds as much each
thine. and have your house look better
lall the time.
Everybody knows tina the sea-shore
lis hard on paint. The Harrington
residence at Rockland. Maine. a sea-
coast town, was painted with Devoe
seventeen years ago. The house has
Inever been repainted. and seems to
he we'll painted yet.
If you wan to take the trouble to
be convinced, we can send o a nun
other instances: but none so
striking as this.
This is not all. Devoe Lead and Zinc
mot only wears longer. but it paints
more square feet to the gallon than
any other paint-especially mixed
paints. It is the Fewer gallons: wears
llonger" paint.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE e CO.
New York.
P. S. NJ. ". Divine & Company sells
