PUBIBOAT TWO SEAMEN OF THE BARK JUANITO JUMPED FROM THE VESSEL YESTERDAY AS SHE WAS PASSING OUT TO SEA. Two sailors aboard' the TJragjiyan bark Juanlto, bound for Valencia. Sfpain, tired of life on -the ocean wave, made a desperate and success ful effort to escape yesterday morn ing. The big bark was being towed to sea by the tug Edgar F.

The Coney was towing two Wasels and in the rear of the foreign er was the four-masted schooner Blanche H. King. The pilot boat Jor dan had just left the two vessels an l both the crews of the King and llie Jordan noticed the two men battling with the waves in a bard tight for their lives. The skiff of the Jordan was soon out to save the two men, and being managed by Capts. Walter and Sam uel Brockinton, soon reached and res cued the two men. They were taken aboard the pilot boat Jordan and later in the day placed aboard the -schooner Anna R. Bishop. This schooner was bound for port and wjts overhauled, the me.i placed aboard and brought to port. The wofiW of the two sailors was bitterly condemned along the river front yesterday for they sought ana took a very unfair advantage of the master of the Juanlto, who bad al ready paid them a portion of their wages for the trip across the At lantic. There should be some redress for the outgoing vessel, but there seems to be none and she is now compelled to proceed on her long voyage to far away Spain, short two lable-bodiea men.
