ADRIFT In MID-OCEAN
WOMAN AND CHILD ENDCRES
HARDSHIP WITH CREW.
Sailors Refuse to Drink Water for
Fear it Would Give Out-Reach
Safety After Thirteen Days.

Eleven members Of the crew OF the
barkentine Amaranth, together with
Capt. Charles W. Nelson, his wife and
son, the latter less than year old,
are recovering in San Francisco from
the effects or one OF the most dis
tressing wrecks in the Pacific ocean
in recent years. For thirteen days
twelve mariners and the fearless wo-
man, clinging to her young son, BRAY
ed the dangers Of the South Pacific
while drifting 1,441 miles in two
small boats after their craft had been
wrecked upon the coral reefs off Jer-
Wis island.
Members Of the crew with which
Mrs. Nelson and her son, Charles,
drifted, proved themselves real he
roes when they refused to drink Of
the fresh water when the supply be-
came low. They wished to make
sure that the woman and the boy
should have plenty. even if they per-
ished.
The barkentine Amaranth was en-
route from Australia to San Fran
cisco when she struck coral reef
near Port Jervis. Three hours after
the wreck every person on board had
reached shore, but the island was so
barren that it became apparent all
would perish If they renamed there.
Risking being caught by sharks, the
men made frequent trips to the ship
and carried of canned goods and
water to supply the two lifeboats,
which were patched with canvas.
The charts showed that Christmas
and flaming Islands were only few
hundred miles away, but the contrary
winds and currents made 1t improba-
Bile that the shorter distance could
ever be accomplished.
First officer A. NJ. Johnson took
charge Of one craft with six men on
board and left the island Capt Mel
son, his wife, son, and four other
men manned the other craft.
Capt. Nelson replenished his sup
ply Of water at Danger Island. Again
when it became low a keg full was
caught during a squall. Finally the
supply became so low that only a
few pints were left. This the members
OF the crew refused to touch, saving
it for Mrs. Nelson and her son. Thir-
teen days and ten hours after they
started they landed at Tutalai, 80
miles east of Apia. All are now
cheerful and happy in Sal Francis
