Show CARRIED TO SEA BY WHALE. Whalers Have Experience Which They Do Not Care to Repeat. New York. Six whalers from New , Bedford, Mass., Jong given up for dead, were brought safe to land here by the White Star liner Celtic. On March 10, off the west coast of Africa, Antone Penna, third mate of the brig Sullivan, and his boat's crew of five men were carried so flat; by a whale to which they had made fast that the ship's outlook lost them in the twilight. With but one day's rations and no water they drifted six days before they were picked up by the steamer Max Brock, so weakened that they had to be carried on hard. The Brock put thenr ashore at Teneriffe and they have been the rest of the time making their way home. |
