Rescue Crew of Bark
Believed Lost When Line
Breaks in Big Storm

New York, Dec. IS. - The twelve
men thought to have been lost on the
bark Nethtis separated from the tug
Garibaldi during a storm on the New
Jersey coast on a voyage north from
Brazil, were rescued yesterday by the
Italian ship Sardegna, which brought
them to this port.
Distress signals were observed by
the Sardegna's lookout at 10 a. m. yes
terday when the Italian vessel, from
Mediterranean ports. was some miles
off Barnegat, n. j. A lifeboat was
lowered and the IL men on the ves-
sci in trouble, which proved to be the
missing Nethtis, were taken off.
The Garibaldi, towing the Nethtis
left Maraham, Brazil, on October l3.
Several times the line parted but the
tug succeeded in picking up the bark
again until, with less than sixty miles
of their 6,0OO-mile voyage still to he
completed, the Nethtis was again lost
on Friday. This time the heavy
weather made it impossible for the
tug to recover her tow and the
bark's crew was given up as lost. The
Nethtis was being brought north to be
converted into a steam vessel.
