cost to run the house by the week, and
after I had figured it up | had a talk
with Nora and told her if she could

NEW YORK, October 12.-Thirty
hungry sailors. who experienced a mar
row escape from starvation on the sea,
reached New York today aboard the

bean soup and two or three pancakes
apiece.
The Alice Lord sailed from st. Mar
tens thirty.fiye days ago with a cargo
Of salt. She was short Of provisions
when she put into port there st. Mar
tens was short, too. and all the cap-
tain could buy was beans. OF these he
purchased less than he wanted, but all
that the townspeople had to sell. The
crew settled down to a diet Of beans
for breakfast. dinner and supper
