The HelmSWOrl1an
of the Death Ship
Bride Of Is PiIoted Stricken Bark Into Port
After All But Three on Board Had Died
and Her Husband Was Dying.
BY WILLIAM THORP.

This is a strange story of the depth
and courage of the love that blossoms
in the heart of a woman of the tropics
It is a plain. true tale, told as it was
told to me by a doctor at the port of
Bridgetown, Barbados.
Late in the summer of 1S9S-but it is
always summer in those latitudes-the
British bark Mary B. Perkins left the
port of Santos, Brazil, for New York,
with a cargo of coffee and rubber. She
also carried one passenger-the Seno-
rita Maria Dominguez.
Maria was an orphan. Her father,
wealthy Brazilian planter, had died
month before at his hacienda" near
Santos. So she had sold the plantation
and ia ken passage for New York.
where her only living relative an I'M
Gle. dwelt
She chose a sailing ship in prefer
ence to steamer, because she desired
the leisure of a long, lonely voyage to
brood over her grief and dream about
her future in the great northern coun-
try which she had heard was so unlike
Brazil.
There followed weeks of pleasant
sailing over the calm, turquoise-blue
waters of the Southern Atlantic. Blue

silvery flight of a flying-fish, as it

CONDUCTORS BRING SUIT.

Pensacola Journal: Four of the seven
conductors recently in the employ of
the Street Railway Company, who
were discharged by the company last
Monday, yesterday filed suit in the
Circuit Court against the company.
The total sum demanded is $4,000.
The suits are filed separately, and
are against w. H. Northup and the
Pensacola Electric Terminal Railway
Company, a corporation, and are for
the sum of $1,000 each, totalling $4,000.
The conductors named are A. M.
Mackey, J. G. Yniestra, T. E. Car
rett and C. H. Williams. The ac-
lions are libel suits, and are based
upon defamation of character and

New York. For the next few days they
lived in the FOOLS paradise of young
lovers who have just discovered their
own hearts and one another's.
1t was too good to last A week later
the bark was beclamed. For a fort
night the wind lay dead on the blister
ing sea, and the vessel rolled sluggish
~ in an oily swell. Day by day the
ca ptain's face grew graver as the fresh
provisions were consumed. the water
casks became foul, and the health and
spirits of the crew suffered.
John Peters is very sick. sir" the
mate reported to him on the morning
of the thirteenth day.
The captain went to the forecastle
and looked AT the man, who lay upon
his bunk grooming in agony. One
glance was enough.
God help u.s. he muttered. IT'S
beri-ber He won't live forty-eight
hours, and we shall soon follow him"
Next morning the calm broke, and
the bark was soon bowling along mer-
rily before a seven-knot breeze But in
the afternoon the mate entered the
cabin and reported:
John Peters is dead, sir"
"Heave the body overheard al once.

One by One the Crew Died.
The days that followed seemed
hideous nightmare None of the sur

Those who still lived had not strength
to trim the sails or even to throw the
bodies of the dead overheard.
Harry was the last man to succumb.
The others had crawled away to suffer
and die. Even the captain-his nerve
broken at last-was drinking brandy
like water in his cabin. But Harry
stood a the wheel and steered the ship
on the favoring southeast trade wind
towards Barbad dos.
He fought for a greater stake than
the others-a stake dearer to him than
life. The grip of the disease was upon
him, but his wife was well, and so he

TICKLING CAUSED IT.

A special from Key West to the
Florida Times Union says: The par
ticulars of the drowning of Capt. Peck.
wife and daughter at Tortugas last
Saturday were brough up by the tug
Osceola, which went down to bring
the bodies here, that they might be
shipped North. The parties consisted
of Capt and Mrs. Peck, the daughter,
and two mariners, Smith and Golugly.
They had been fishing for some time,
when the captain, who was a very
jolly man, reached over and in a spirit
of playfulness tickled his wife on the
arm. Mrs. Peck was a very large wom-
an, as was her husband, and being
very ticklish she gave a quick move
to get away from his hand, and the
boat capsized, the entire party being
precipitated into the water. The
daughter floated away on the swiftly
moving tide and was Immediately
drowned. Every effort was made by
Smith to save Mrs. Peck, but to no
avail The doctors opinion was, after
examination, that Mrs. Peck died from
fright, as there was little or no water
in her lungs. While Smith was max
ing every effort to save Mrs Peck,
Golugly, who could not swim, had
caught the boat and was holding on
He saw the struggles of Capt. Peck
and very quickly realized that he could
not swim either, so, reaching out one
hand, he grasped him and tried to
draw him to a position where he could
grasp the boat and cling until assist
ance could be secured; but Capt. Peck
was man over six feet tall, weighing
over 200 pounds, a magnificent speci-
men of the American sailor, and in his
struggles Golugly was carried to the
bottom Smith, who had seen the fu-
tihty of attempting to save Mrs Peck
or the daughter, turned his attention
to the captain and Golugly. He dove
to the bottom, and by a herculean eff
fort tore the marine from the death
clutch of Capt. Peck. In the mean
time, Trumpeter Laird, who had wit
messed the terrible calamity from a
sailboat in which he had been enjoy
ing sail, arrived on the scene, and
Smith and Golugly were drawn to
safety. The attention of Laird was
then given to the rescuing of the
bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Peck. The wa
ter was only twelve feet deep. and
the bodies were discernible at the hot
tom. After several dives the remains
were brought to the surface and placed
in the boat. 1t was thought that the
captains body showed some signs of
life, and every effort was made to re-
store vitality, but after two hours of
ceaseless endeavor no sign of ANNA
ton could be discovered, and the task
was given UP as useless. In the mean
time search was being made for the
body of the girl, which had been swept
away by the swift moving current.
After a search of about three ouarters
of an hour the body was recovered and
carried to the shore.
