The woman admitted that she could
not explain it-furtherrore that she
did not intend 10 try.
There was another silence. Said the
woman after a little: "What happened
at your meeting tonight?'
ooh, nothing much said the a

Everything" said the woman. Then
she proceeded to tell him what every.
thing comprised. 1t took more than
hall an hour to tell It. Every now and

them on behalf Of the Confederate

The survivors, together with the body
of a fourteenth, that of Chief Steward

picked up off Sable Island by the Fran
COMA late yesterday afternoon. after
having been in an open boat for forty
hours.
The men were exhausted from ex-
posure. and weak from lack OF food
and water A second boat, with nine
