Six Days in Open Boat.

Six days ia an opeu yawl boat, with
waves constantly dashing over them,
and with only few tins of canned beef
and one gallon OF water, is the expert
ence of Capt. Borden aud the six mem
bers of the crew of the American steamer
Nokoms
The men reached Pensacola, Fla. yes
terday, being brought from St. Andrews,
where they we're washed upon the beach
in an almost unconscious condition with
limbs swollen and benumbed and almost
dead from exposure. They were found
by party from a small settlement near
by and given attention until they were
able to be placed in boat aud brought
down to Pensacola, where the vessel is
owned.
The story of the suffering of the men
is terrible one. The vessel put out
from Gulfport about two weeks ago tor
Cuba, with cargo of lumber. Shortly
after getting to sea leak was discov-
cred, and although the pumps were start
ed, the water continued to rise IN the
hold until there were several feet. A
heavy gale then came on, and the men
began to throw off the deck load. The
vessel continued 10 take water, and 1t
was soon sfterward that she listed
heavily.
The men then decided to abandon the
ship, and gathered food and nautical in.

house, when big wave swept over the
vessel, turning it completely over and
throwing everything into the sea. AL
most by miracle, one of the life-boats,
a Jug Of water, aad few cens Of meat
were saved.
The men then set out for shore, and
for six DAYS and nights, with the seas
running almost mountain high, they
pulled the open boat, sometimes not
knowing in which direction they were
going. Toward the close Of the sixth
day land was sighted, and, although an
effort was made to keep the boat of, the
strength of the Nearied crew was not
sufficient and big wave cast the boat
and its contents upon the beach near
St. Andrews. The men were unable to
move and were almost dead from cold
and hunger.

Mrs. Minor Morris, wife of a promi-
nent physician at one time IN the gov
ernment service and sister OF Repre-
sentative John A. I. Hull, of Iowa,
was forcibly removed from the White
House Yesterday by secret service men
AID policemen. Her clothing was al
most torn from her, the muddy foot
prints of the policemen were on her
skirts, her hair hung about her shoulders,
and much of the mud from the asphalt
walks Of the White House grounds was
upon her garments after she literally had
been dragged several hundred feet,
placed in vehicle in which she was
taken to the House OF Detention, there
put in barred cell, from which she
was released several hours later, physl
clans having made an examination and
found her sane.
Her brother, Representative Hull, says
she is al least eccentric and he has no
particular interest in the affair, but she
declares she is the victim of conspiracy
and rlaces some blame on her brother
for the sensational occurrences Of yes
terday.
Mrs. Morris, who is fifty years old,
visited the executive Offices about 80
O'Clock yesterday, about the hour when
the President goes to luncheon.
She was fashionably attired in gown
of black silk aud wore white furs. She
is a large woman, weighing about l15
pounds, and of commanding presence.
She sent card to Secretary Loeb, who
depntized his assistant, B. F. Barnes, to
see her. To him she said she wished to
see the President on matter OF great
Importance.
Mr.. Barnes asked the nature Of her
b isiness She refused to give it and de-
clined 10 depart when requested to do
