Show SAVED FROM WATERY GRAVE. Crew of Wrecked Steamer Picked up Off Coast of Jersey. Norfolk, V. Rescued from their drifting longboat by the merest chance, the captain and sixteen members mem-bers of the crew of the American steamer Charlemagne Tower, Jr., which foundered off the Jersey coast Friday day morning, were picked up by the steamer Bayport late Saturay afternoon and brought to Newport News. All were suffering intensely from exposure that had made them almost helpless to navigate their boat. Four were on the verge of death. The escape of the Tower's survivors was a narrow one. |
