PICKED UP IN TIME TO
SAVE STARVING CREW
New York, Dec. 22.—The echooner
Roam Ferlita, battered by wind and
for 86 days, was towed Into
New Tork harbor last night and her
crew, of nine, shipped on the African
fold coast, leaped ashore to race for
the nearest restaurant.
was a tough voyage, this trip
from Axtm to Boston, with a load o(
mahogany, but the toughest psrt
came, not in uncharted seas, but in
the very center of trans-Atlantic
lanes, when help might hare been
pected at any moment
ten days the schooner bobbed
about In those lanes, her larder about
empty—so empty that her old salt of
captain was almost ready to ahatter
tradition of the eea and order the
execution of the ship's mascot,
alredale terrier. The crew's only
ir was caught from the skies.
A torn jigger sail waa rigged craz
ily from her forepeak. Her mizzen
mast waa nothing but a raged stump
Her third pole was bare Gone was
her rudder and she had no sea an-
obor. At night one feeble light was
all ahe could display. Altogether she
was the most helpless craft CapL
Look, of the liner President Garfield,
rer seen—and eren he waa
shocked when he bore down upon her
yesterday morning.
The schooner, a craft of 690 tons,
res her rescue to Capt. Look and
the keen eyes of Wally Bates, look
out on the Barfield.
At about 8 a. m.. 7:66., the Garfield
log says—Bates spied the schooner
dead ahead
A small boat, manned by four men
puf out from the Rosa. Capt. E. L
Sanchez climbed wearily aboard the
Garfield. He put his case bluntly.
*‘We want food. We want help. We
are hungry. We are thirsty. We are
sinking and we hare no rudder.”
Fire minutes later, the sma'l boat
returned to the schooner with flour,
sugar, water, meat and canned stuff.
Then began the battle to get the Rosa
For twelre hours It continued. The
Garfield finally got a tow rope aboard.
It broke.
She got another aboard. It lasted
untir the schooner got under way.
A third held until 10 o’clock at
night.
For fire hours the llstle gun spoke
spasmodically, shooting ropes across
the Partita's bow. 81x times her crew
got the rope, only to lose- it because
they were too weak to pull fa
heavier cable.
Finally they nude fast Through
ont the night, swept by freezing spray
the schooner bobbed along behind the
rescue ship.
A tug picked the schooner up
Fire Island yesterday morning,
leasing the Uner for its final dash td
port with details of the rescue which
she had reported tersely by wireless.
Wednesday.
The Ferine's crew etuck grimly by
their schooner as she was towed by
the tug the last few miles.
The Ferlita encountered hard luck
the first day out, hitting a calm after,
clearing the headlands of Axlm bar
Fire days she was becalmed
within sight or her starting point.
Twelve days out she bit a head
wind and was driven off her course.
Later she ran into a storm and for
almost three weeks fought wind, rain,
snow and., wares until her ruddei
snapped.
That was ten days ago. The ship-
hanging close to the wind and ship
ping floods with every lurch, lunged
heavily and swung around. When she
iteadled, her mizzenmast, as well as
her rudder, was gone.
Then Capt. Sanchez began his real
battle for life. After four days a lin
er passed well to starboard, but the
high waves hid the Ferllta's signals.
Night after night, with a lookout
lashed to a tottering perch In the
foremast and the captain tied secure
ly to a wheel that did not answer, the
schooner tmubled about In the seas.
Twice her crew saw the lights of
passing ships, but could not attract
attention.
Tuesday there was food left tor
only five more meals—at quarter ra
tions. The fate of the alredale and
a monkey brought from Africa hung
In. the balance.
“Both live until nothing else re
mains,” was the skipper’s order. Then
the Garfield bore down on them.
