FINLAND.

A Finlander named Tuomanen has
a strange story to tell about himself.
While serving as a sailor on board
the Finnish steamer Ilmari on the
way from Boston to Trondhjem, the
vessel met with a violent storm.
Tuomanen was ordered by the captain
to put some ropes in order on one %
the masts. While he was engaged in
this work sea broke over the vessel
and snapped the mast. Tuomanen
struck the deck SO hard that he faint
ed. Before he came to, the ship made
a lurch, throwing the broken mast
into the sea and Tuomanen was pulled
along by the mast and it's ropes. As
soon as he struck the ice cold water
he came to, and at once he seized the
mast and chung to it until they were
thrown upon an island near the Amer
lean shore. A search was made and
after a while he was found and taken
back to his ship in one of it's boats.
When the ship came to Trondjem he
was still so low that he had to be
taken to hospital and at the present
time he is staying at seaman's home
in Norrkoping, Sweden.
