Kentucky as we came over to Providence
this afternoon and he is the same man
who stepped into the first boat launched
from the sinking vessel. The second
boat was taken possession of by gang
of negro walters and so many of them
crowded into the boat that 1t capsized as
soon as 1t struck the water, and L be-
lieve that all of them were lost.
IT got into the third boat with five
other men. There were no oats in the
boat and we were obliged to drift with
the wind and waves. We drifted for
several hours and when we were near
land, big wave struck the boat and
capsized her. The five men who were
with me drowned. but as soon as struck
the water l began to swim, and although
my hands were terribly frozen and my
feet felt like lead. succeeded in reach
ing the beach, where some one dragged
me out OF the water.
II did not see many life preservers
around Ms I left the ship many people
were jumping overheard, just as the
steamer began to slip beneath the
waves
Saved BY Faith.
David N Fox of Brighton, N. J., de-
clared that his life and the lives of those
who We're with him were saved by his
sublime faith in God. Mr.. Fox was re-
turning from a Bible convention, which
was held last week at Beverly, Mass. He
was on the same piece of wreckage Is
that which carried the Feldmans away.
AS soon as the raft reached the water the
despair of all on board seemed to become
so general that he spent his entire time
begging them to have faith In God. Mr..
Fox said that the bodies slipped into the
water those who remained found more
room and had a better opportunity to
move their limbs and keep their blood
in circulation.
