by the wind and sea. After spending
four days and three nights in the boat
without food or water. he was picked
up Thursday night by Captain Charles
5. Morris, a pilot of this town who
was coming down the bay on a steam

about and discovered a man in it. He
had a boat launched and Holland was

early morning of Friday. He is ex-
pected to recover.
