VIM. M. Randall, he says of the rescue:
'Tt was on Feb. %, in calm after a
terrific storm, that we sighted the Sibley
about a. NJ. She was some distance
away and barely awash We sent boat
to her and took off her crew which in
cluded also the wife and IS months baby.
They had been drifting for nine days and
could have lasted but short time longer.
The schooner was bound from New York
to Rio and was 1900 miles off her course
w
miles from the Azores. AS soon as we
took the crew on board the New Mexico
turned her guns on her and sunk her, for
she would have been menace to naviga-
ton had she been allowed to drift. | was
the only Belfast man on board the New

pick up Belfast built schooner so far
from home. Among her crew was an old
seaman, | have forgotten his name, who
said that he used to 9 in Belfast and
spoke of many Belfast shippers whom he
remembered
