A TALE OF The SEA.
The Upside Down Cruise Of the Cap
tain Of the Erndte.

An almost Incredible Instance of the
perils attending those who go to sea
was the basis of story told In mari
time court Of Dantzic some years ago
by the captain of the sailing ship
Erndte. Nothing that Jules Verne,
Clark Russell and H. G. Wells ever
fancied in their wonderful tales sur
passed the story told by Captain En-
gellandt.
He had sailed from Memel with
cargo of planks for Oldenburg. The
captain remained at the wheel during
a gale which overlook the vessel next
night and at in the morning went to
his cabin to change his wet clothes.
He had just got into dry undercloth-
ing when his vessel capsized, and he
found himself standing on the roof of
the cabin, the door of which the sea
had Theoretically closed.
BY loosening the boards of what was
now the roof he got into the hold.
which contained only loose sails. For
tunately some shelves of a high cup
board remained intact. and from them
he collected some cans of condensed
milk. some prunes. RICE sugar and sau-
sage. He also found a hammer.
For twelve days the master of the
ship lived in his prison. eating as spar
ingly as possible and drinking sea
water. which appeared to have no Ill
effect on him. He employed his free
time in hammering on the steel bottom
Of the ship to attract the attention of
passing vessels. He knew when 1t was
day, for a dim light penetrated the
water.
On the twelfth day the Norwegian
steamer Aurora sighted the wreck and
sent boat to take 1t in tow. Engel-
landt had fallen asleep; but. hearing
footsteps over his head. he began
knocking with his hammer and shout
ing for help. The Aurora's men re-
turned to their ship for tools, with
which they bored hole through the
bottom of the Erndte where they had
heard the shouting. When they drew
out their drill. mans finger followed,
and they soon learned that Engellandt
had food for four days more and wish
ed to be towed to land. for 1t was I'M
possible to release him in the open sea.
The Aurora towed the wreck safely
to Neufahrwasser. where with consid-
cradle difficulty it was attached to
huge crane, plate was unloosened,
and the imprisoned master was freed.
He was perfectly conscious and even
able to walk alone. The three men
who had constituted his crew were of
course drowned when the vessel cap
sized.-New York Tribune.
