Tho county officials are firm in
their intention 10 push the prosecu-

New York, Nov. 2S.-A wild tale of
the sea. wherain iron nerves of hardy
scamen brokd and srizzIed marines
wopt like children was told when the
battered French steamer SAINT Anna
drew up off Quarantine today and re-
ported the death of four of her sail
ors and the serious injury Of q num-
Der of others. y great wave swept
the four men overheard.
How the great liner, her engines
stopped, wallowed in the trough OF a
swirling sea while the captain and
crew watched three sailors swept
from a life raft to death: how one
sailor was brought out OF the jaws
Of the living death into which he had
fallen: how men risEed their lives
dozens OF times TO haul from Tie sea-
swept decks their fellows who were
injured-all this was told i'll simple
terms by Capt. Pavey, the ships
commander.
The SAINT Anna left Marseillns on
Nov. 10 and Naples on Nov. II,
bringing twenty-one first cabin, 26
second cabin, and S32 stcerage pas
sengers. Heavy seas were cncoun-
tered from the start.
On Nov. 23 she ran into a son'wes-
ter. Passengers were ordered below
and the matches battered down. At
1870 during the most violent part
of the storm there rose without warn
ing a great sea almost like tidal
wave. Watl-like. the officers say, ii
seemed 10 hover above the PROV of
the vessel and then fell with over
powcring force upon the decks, wash
ing all before il. Life boats were torn
from their davits. massive glass port
holes were smashed and upper. cGh-
ins and saloons were flooded.
The vessel was thrown off fer
course and dropped into the trough Of
the sea. Captain and sailors seized
stanchions on which 10 hold on till
the next wave boarded her. The
storm kept on in its fury-hut not
another great wave appeared.
The helmsman threw the vessel
back into the teeth OF the gale. Far
astern. Durand, Sarto. Calisto. and
Quarelli four ablc-bodied scamcn.
were swimming in The sea shrickina
for help. Out on tho deck Seaman
Foixct and Roumcn. and Pazctti. a

crushed by the wave.
Captain Pavey signalcd the en-
gincs to stop and the liner turned to-
ward the four scamen who had reach

Calisto apparently stunned were TN
able to retain their hold and sank
ont OF sight.
Quarclli fought until the liner
dropped him q life rope which he tied
about his waist and was hauled back
to the deck.
Seaman FoiXet's spine was broken
and lie died two days later The 9th
erS are on the road TO recovery.
On Nov. 81 terrific cyclone swept
the vessel but there were no further
casualties.
