that he claimed to prize very highly.
The bone was all that remained, he
said, of a mess of salt pork on which
he and some other men had subsisted
while wrecked on Tasmania years ago.
Captain Graham of the Phelps got the
men later and had them put back
aboard. When the vessel was towed

that they could not swim, So they
grasped hold OF some lines that We're

with his ship, until she got outside
Of the harbor TO anchor. Then he had
them hauled aboard. They were sober
