Stick to Waterossed Vessel to Help

Supplies From Passing Steamer, but
Decline Offer to Take Them Off
Bound For Cuba.
New York, Oct. PSF Following the
intense storms which have set ships
bobbing ike corks all up and down
the Atlantic coast in the past few
days, reports now come of casual ties
where craft have been utterly destroy
ed and many lives lost IN the unwont-
ed hurricanes Prayers, slseIlt for the
most part, are offered wherever there
are gathered "men who go down to the
sea in ships for one hardy little crew
of half dozen men who are perched
on the half wrecked British schooner
Sirocco somewhere off the Florida
coast
This is merely one of the tragedies
known in the myriad of mishaps which
ocean going ships have encountered of
late. Another sea tale concerns a sea
man, his mind shattered as a result OF
frightful experience at sea, who was
brought to this port. His name is
Hoeck. and he is the sole survivor OF
the Oliver S. Barrett, schooner which
capsized and went down while bound
from Port Royal to New York.
Picked Up Delirious.
After the poor fellow had been adrift
on a plank for 10S hours without food
or water he was picked up by the Dan
ish steamship Texas He was deliri-
ous Kind treatment and good med
ical attention have saved his life, but
it is a question whether his mind will
recover its normal state again The
steamship c. F. Tietgen brought Hoeck
from Copenhagen, where he had been
taken by the Texas.
AS to the fate of the waterlogged
Sirocco nothing definite is known, but
the captain of the steamship Parma,
just arrived in this port, reports that
last Sunday the Sirocco was passed,
wallowing in the heavy seas 600 miles
east Of Florida
The true story of the ship, is in the
devotion of tie Sirocco,s crew to her
commander. Captain Robbins, who re
fused to abandon his boat and cargo,
although Captain j. w. Carey of the
Parma offered to take the weary men
aboard
A dozen men in all, they were perch

Captain Robbins firmly declined all
offers of assistance except to request
that the PARMA let him have such
supplies as could be had to replace
those which were ruined'when his ship

ed, the captain and crew settled down
in their quarters and waved a goodby
to the Parima's sailors.
The Sirocco is laden with cargo of
