that the master of the Florence was

The mate took his turn at the oars
with the sailors, and when not so en-
gagged busted himself by slapping and
pounding the oarsmen to keep them
awake, knowing that II they fell
asleep they would never waken.
In the dense fog the men several
times heard the sounding Of fog whis-
ties on passing steamers, and once
were near enough to hear the swish
of the boats as they swept by. but the
wrecked mariners had no means OF
signaling for help.
At the end Of the second day. when

raw from the constant Juggling at the
oars, the party was picked VI by
