BOUND FOR PLYMOUTH, England,
March 6.-The crew of the schooner
General SHUTS, which the Dutch liner
Volendam rescued Thursday in an
exhausted condition. appear to be re-
covering rapidly, except the cook.
Capt. Charles Rose, who is so, has
never known sickness and the other
four are young huskies. The mate,
a Dane, % years of age, worked and
slept in water all the time and never
took off his water-soaked clothes for
three weeks.
The General SHUTS had 10 weeks
of hardship in the heavy seas. and the
crew did not mind the scarcity of
food so much as the scarcity of drink
ing water.
The rescue by the Volendam's chief
officer. Leafferth, and his men was
rendered difficult by the heavy swell,
and the exhausted sailors were too
weak to risk jumping.
The first question Skipper Rose
asked on seeing the ships news bull
letins was about the schooner Novelty
of Newfoundland, which he met Feb
ruary with rudder broken, and tried
to render aid. The schooners sepa-
rated during the night and the Nov
city was not seen again. Two weeks
