Stranded Sailor Tells Yarn of
St1ipwreck on Disappointment Island

Adventure is not always found in
the stories of the big game hunter and
the explorer of unknown parts. Some
times it is found in the homeless no.
BIO spending the night on the hard
floor near the boiler in the basement
of the city hall.
Last evening the hotel of tramps,"
as the boiler room is called, harbored
an Englishman who had story Of
hardship and despair that rivals any
yarn Fennimore Cooper or Captain
Marryat ever invented. He was Henry
Dyer, ablebodied seaman, hobo, philos-
opher, and withal possessor of mex
haustible optimism, pluck and grit.
He told a story last night of ship
wreck, disappointment, starvation and
despair that held spellbound the 9th
er hobos that had gathered in the
warmth of the basement to spend the
night
Wrecked on the Disappointment Is
land, 200 miles south of New Zealand,
Dyer with fourteen survivors Of the
ship Dundonald were rescued by the
New Zealand government steamer Hin
eemona eight months after they had
been thrown on the desolate island.
Il signed on the Dundonald in Sgd
ney, the vessel being bound, wheat la
den for Falmouth, England, for or
ders," said Dyer. 1--WE had contrary
winds all the way from Sydney The
weather on the night We struck was
thick and heavy. We tried to wear the
ship short round but she would not
stay and went stern first into a crew
ice in the cliffs. 1t was found useless
to man the life boats, as there were
rocks all around us.
Close to Shore.
"The captain ordered us to put on
our life belts. The steward gave up all
hope of saving himself and said,
Goodbye, boys, I'm too old to go
ashore" Soon afterwards the COM
pressed air in the hold blew up the
deck. Tremendous seas washed over
us and the captain and others were
carried overheard. l caught hold of the
foot of the forecastle, but was washed
away. I then caught hold of one of the
shrouds and climbed up. An Irishman,
named John Judge followed me. We
went on the fore-gallant yard, as it
was canted toward the shore. We
thought it was touching the cliff, found
it to be about Is feet away. We spent

the night up there. About an hour be-
fore daylight We began to climb down
and found twelve men and the mate.
He told us to cut a few lines.
Suddenly l heard a voice from the
shore opposite, and found it to be one
of the seamen who had been washed
ashore during the night. We managed
to get line ashore and to climb the
cliff. We were all very much exhaust
ed and hungry when We got ashore.
The mate told US there was a depot on
the island. We were unable to find 1t.
Later we learned that the mate was
mistaken. On the twelfth day after the
wreck, the mate died. He was so years
old.
by this time we had discovered
that we were on Disappointment Is
land. We sUbsisted on raw molyhawks.
The few matches we had were wet,
and it took US three days to dry them.
When We once got a fire going we
banked it and kept it going seven
months. Until May We covered our
selves with canvas from the ship. We
saw that cold weather was coming. so
we Jug nCieS INTO Iue Win OuI
hands. Above the holes We built up
sticks, and put sod on top. forming
huts about six feet long and four feet
wide
Boat Of Clothes.
We managed to scrape along eat
ing mollyhawks and seals. We knew
there was a depot on the other side
of the island. but did not know how to
get across. 1t was decided to build a
canvas boat. but as we had cut up the
sails for clothes We were hard pressed
for material Finally in the fifth month
we succeeded in building a boat. We
sewed together bits of our clothes
with needle made of the small bone
of bird we had killed.
THE first attempt to get to the
mainland failed. We lost the boat, and
the second We built was smashed by
the sea. In the third boat / and two
others managed to get within striking
distance of the mainland, but we stove
hole into her. and had to swim
ashore On the fourth morning after
we landed we managed to find the de-
pot. We found good boat at the de-
pot, but no sails. so we cut up our
clothes and started back.
I'VE had found clothes at the depot,
and also a pair Of scissors. We cut

Friday of this week the most thrilling,
sensational and massive picture ever
shown in Richmond will be presented

AmuSenentS
The Murray,

This afternoon and tonight will be
the last opportunity to witness the ex-
cellent bill that is now playing at the
Murray. 1t has been many weeks
since an entire program has met with
the approval universally rendered the
current offering and many Murray pat
rons regret that the one bill a week is
not the policy, as a program of this
nature is thoroughly enjoyed the Sec
ond time. Starting with the usual
matinee tomorrow five acts of new
faces will open the week end engage
ment and it is said that the bill is an
enjoyable one.
