visions in the larder, and fighting the
winds with hunger-drawn faces, the
men Of the schooner Queen were near

day. and was hailed by the smaller
vessel. The Queen lay to and a boat

the Queen, came aboard the Nor

He was so weak that he could

gaunt rowers that pulled the dory

Peterson told a pitiful story OF hard
shin and exposure continued through

from Tillamook to San Pedro, and
had not been long out Of the former
harbor when she encountered heavy

her provisions we're washed away by
the seas that crossed her decks, or

could not be used. Since then the
crew ana captain had been living on

Peterson felt they would have been
