PENSACOLA CREW
TELLS Of RESCUE or
STARVING MEX|CANs
CAPTAIN REPETTO, OF THE
FISHING SCHOONER EMILY
COoNEY, PERFORMED A CHAR
TABLE ACT.

Captain j. Repetto, Of the fishing
schooner Emily Cooney, which re-
turned Friday afternoon from the
snapper banks, was telling yesterday
of an act of charity which he and
crew were called upon to do while off
the Mexican coast, when they de-
prived themselves Of their own lin
tied stock of groceries to stave off
starvation of Mexican light keeper
and family, As miles from the coast
or mainland of Mexico. The skipper
stated that he was none too soon, for
family of the keeper consisting of
six persons, among them two little
girls, were In terrible plight, and
had existed, according to his story,
for days and days on fish and bird
eggs.
Capt. Repetto, from distance of
the mainland, saw signs Of life on
the desolated Mexican coast, and be-
lieved that there was some chance
Of either finding someone who knew,
or possibly, would members Of the
lost Chicopee's crew, and when he
drew near In a small boat, the almost
unbelievable conditions were reveal
ed. Providing the destitute ones with
food, even to robbing his own store,
he then made for home, but on the
way was supplied by food in mid-gulf
by the steamers Gulf1ight an Amer
lean and the Spanish steamer Bue-
nos Ayres.
Those who heard the story Of Cap
tain Repetto yesterday, and who were
In position to speak, recalled the
plight of light keepers on the Med-
can coast which came to light some
months ago when similar conditions,
although on a larger scale, were re-
ported. It appears that government
boats usually supply the light keep
ers at stated intervals, but because
of the internal disturbances visits of
these supply boats have been infre-
quent and at length seem to have
ceased altogether.
