ADRIFT With SnAnkS ABOUT
Experience of Victim of the Florida
Hurricane Rescued from
Raft.

Still weak from the exposure and bearing
scars where nails on his frail raft nearly
tayed him alive, John RUSSELL 80 years
Old, one OF gang OF thirty-Beven dreuge
workers living on a double decked house
boat on Mataoombi Key, ana engaged in
extension work on the Florida East Coast
railway, was brought TO New York by the
Morgan liner FL PasO.
Adrift for thirty-twO hours on the Flor
ida coast on a handful OF boards, with the
seas constantly washing over him, Cap
tain c. II, Knowles of the El Paso picked
up the unfortunate man when he was
nearly ready to succumb to his sufferlngs.
Russell believes he is the only person
saved out OF the little colony on the house
boat which was driven 10 sea during the
tropical hurricane on the morning Of Oc-
tober IS, that devastated the northern and
western shores OF Florida. Beset, when
he had crawled aboard his raft, by schools
Of sharks, that hung about him through
out the long hours OF more than day and
night adrift the memory OF his expert
ence nearly unnerved the man when he
told his story to a reporter on board the
lei Paso.
There were thlrty-seven living aboard
the Elhe, a two-story houseboat, and we
were uuOTeu ABOUT a hundred yards on
shore on the eastward side OF the key"
said Russell. at an hour before daylight
the hurricane struck US without warning,
while we were all In our hunks, and within
a few minutes the Elhe was dragging its
anchors, and we were soon out in the deep
water. with terrific sea breaking all over
the boat, which was hove down by the
wind
"At daylight big sea turned the house
boat over. and the house went to pieces
at once, the hull laundering. The thirty
seven men were tossed overheard, and as

we're ten OF us gathered on a piece OF

wheat market. but the tone at the close was
little more than steady because OF selling
by pit traders. Final quotations on the

Transactions in the wheat pit were not
large, and the business was confined chiefly
70 pit traders. Sentiment early In the day
tvas somewhat bullish, but toward the end
OF the session the feeling became easier
The market was influenced by theN con-
tinued small movement of spring wheat
and by report OF an English crop sta
ttstician, who claimed that the United
states win be able to ship for export this
year about 1S0,00oO00 blu. and only small

termed strictly good fat steers among the

the fat cattle have been on the common to

to the weakness prevailing on the common
