TWO WEEKS IN
AN OPEN BOAT
Only Four Out of Fifteen Persons
Survive.
A TRAGEDY OF THE SEA
Two Weeks After They Had Left the
Doomed Steamer, the Third OF the
Boats In Which the Crew Had
Left ls Picked Up.

Halifax. N. S.-A brief wireless mes
sage received here told of the dis
covery by the United States revenue
cutter Seneca of the missing third life
boat of the Leyland Line Steamship
Columbian, which was destroyed by
fire in mid-Atlantic two weeks ago.
Of the Is men who scrambled over the
side of the ill-fated liner into the third
boat, only five were alive when found
by the Seneca.
The other IL had died from ex-
posure, and their bodies had been cast
into the sea. In the boat were Robert
Tiece. Oscar Kendall and Ludwigsen.
fireman.
Complete Exhaustion.
All of the survivors were in state
of complete mental and physical ex-
haustion as the result of their terrible
experiences in the open boat at sea.
This was reported to the Revenue Cut
ter Service here in a relayed wireless
dispatch from the captain of the
Seneca. The report stated that the
Columbian's boats had been picked up
in latitude 1926 and longitude $3.50.
Those rescued were the chief officer
two seamen and a fireman. These
men were in a terrible state of ex.
haustion when picked up. Half-crazed
from thirst, hunger and exposure they
presented an awful sight when the
Seneca reached the side of the little
craft. The men were helpless, being
scarcely able to move hand or foot
and their voices had failed almost to
a whisper. t
Only Four Left.
That these four of the Columbian's
men are living is almost a miracle
They had long been mourned as dead
and when they are able to talk freely
of their experiences they will have q
terrible story of the sea to tell the
world. Short of provisions from the
outset, they had practically nothing te
subsist on, and one by one they sue
cumbed. Gradually the human burden
of the boat became lessened, IL of the
men having died and their bodies con
signed to the depths.
How They Died.
When their short allowance of bis
cult and water had failed they main
tanned life by chewing boot leather ant
the few stray crumbs of hard tack
Rain water served them when theil
water cask went dry. The first two
days after drifting away from the
flaming Columbian they saw three
steamers, too far away to be signalled

The REBELS PLANS.

A large detachment OF the
rebels, who have been campaign
ing along the coast north OF
Vera Cruz, may be sent on
short cut across country toward
the Mexican capital.
The greater part of the rebel
army under General Gonzales
will be sent forward from Tam
pico to unite with the main
forces in a campaign against Sal
tillo.
The latest report in Vera Cruz
about Huerta is that he has COM
mitted suicide, but no more cred
ence is placed in it than in the
rumor that he has fed.
General Funston reported that
the San Francisco bridge, on the
Interoceanic Railroad, twenty
eight miles from Vera Cruz, had
been destroyed.
Another report from General
Funston stated that the Federal
commander, General Navarrete,
was in the vicinity of Vera Cruz
with 5000 men.
