Richie and Nephew of Sault Ste. Marie Drift for Daya After Their Engine Becomee Disabled. Escanaba, Mich. Floating for four days at tbe mercy of lake winds and seas, with absolutely nothing to eat and afraid to sleep as a ship might pass within hailing distance unseen, Dr. G. A. Richie and nephew, Hal Richie, of Sault Ste. Marie, were towed into this port on an ore carrier, more dead than alive. Their story of their experience Is the wildest one that has been told by amateur yachtsmen In these waters for years, and the pitiable condition of the two menjwho were starved and exhausted when they arrived here cor roborated their statements. Starting from Depere, Wis, with a new cruising launch, tbe two men struck boldly out for, the Boo. When well along'thelr" engine, which had been working badly for several hours, stopped completely and no amount of attention could bring an explosion in the gas chambers. That night tbe two finished the small stock of eatables in their larder and both kept watch lest some boat should pass unseen, neither trusting bis companion to watch alone. All the next day they worked with the engine. A heavy sea sprung up, and a rude sea anchor was thrown out to keep tbe little craft's head to the wind. Even with this precaution she labored heavily with the seas and often was half burled beneath great rollers which swept in from the lake. Another night and another day passed. Growing waker as each hour passed, hoping each moment to sight a. steamer, the two. men fought oft despair, subsisting on water alone. As the days passed and tbe expected boats did not appear, they grew more desperate, and finally when several steamers passed them too far out to hall, they almost abandoned hope. Four days after the accident which ruined their engine they succeeded in Makura, from Australia. the 22 men aboard the Erral were alive when tbe wreck was discovered by the steamer Tafu. These were taken aboard the Tafu, nearly dead from thirst and starvation. Capt. Anderson and the second mate were drowned while building a Only five of v i - i' 'An mocm s ff M sap, ear wm W "Ml .'

Anderson's wife and children saw him disappear. f- After others bad succumbed, and the remainder were weak from star ration, the captain's wife drowned her four children under the impression that the five survivors were planning a resort to cannibalism. She followed the children into the waves. ' The five survivors were too far gone to talk much of their sufferings. Patrick Palmer, an American, who lolned the ship at Coquimbo, said: "Five of us got away on a raft We went all over the reef in search of water, but found none, and one of the party died there. We had some difficulty In building the raft and the captain and second mate both were drowned. The captain's wife stood within a few feet of him watching him, and she saw him drown as she stood there wringing her hands. She had her four children, from the baby one year old to the girl, standing beside her. "We thought we would be able to find water on the reef and save the lives of those we had left on the wreck, but those sailing directions lie. They said there was water there, a lifeboat and food, and there was no food and no lifeboat Ole died; he fell down on tbe reef and dropped his bead on bis chest He was lucky. "There was another wreck on the reef and we thought it was a store ship. We boarded it but found nothing to eat It was musty, old, and all it held was a bottle with about two gills of water that must have been there for years, by the horrible taste of It We then decided to build a punt from the wreckage, and while we were working on this we lived on shellfish." Another survivor said that when . the sufferers were sitting on the sand the captain's wife asked them not to eat her children. Her mind was gone.
