Sea Searched In Vuln For Craft That Put Off From Wreck With Captain And Twenty Odd Men Aboard Survivors Spent Dny And A Half Tied To Mast Heads With out Food or Water Third Mate Breaks Down And Weeps. Eastport (Special). The six men who, half starved ar.d benumbed from exposure, were rescued from their perilous position l.i tho rig ging of tho stranded steamer Hcstla are believed to be the only survivors of the 41 men and boys who wcro aboard the Donaldson llrer when she struck the jaeged Old Proprietor Ledge, off Seal Cove, Grand Manan Island. Three bodies came aFhore on tho southwest shcre of Nova Scdtla, two In a boat which iVIfted on thu beach near Yarmouth, a.U the third In an other boat, which was found near Salmon River, 13 miles farther north. There is little doubt that these are the two boats which start ed off from the wreck, each well loaded with men. The boat ashore near Salmon River bore tho name Cassandra. The Hestia was a sister ship of the Cas sandra, and frequently carried some of the Cassandra's boats and gear. Recovering somewhat from inelr experience, the men who escaped their companions' fate, were able to give more definite Information re garding what took place after tho steamer went on the ledges. Third Mate Stewart said that the Hestia reached the end of her last voyage Monday morning, Instead of Tuesday, as had been supposed, and that ho nnd his comrades, who were uviblc to get into the boats launched when it was decided to abandon the ship, remained lashed to the rigging for 38 hours without food or water be for they were taken off by the life savers. So far as can be ascertained those on board the Hcstla comprised Cap tain Newman, a crew of 35, 3 cat tlemen and 2 boys. Twenty-eight persons were in tho boat which was successfully launched, but without doubt lostberorcdayllght. Two of this number were rescued from the water when the first boat load was capsized It seems that when the boatloads were made up those on board were divided, one di vision consisting of 2G men, includ ing the Captain, and the other 15 persons. The Captain's boat was be ing lowered and the second boat was being filled, 11 of the 15 intended for It having taken their places, when a rope holding the second boat broke and nil were thrown Into the sea. The four members or the crew thus rorced to remain on board succeeded in Dulllnp two or the picn from the water. Two more of the drowning men were rescued by Captnin New man's boat and a fifth man was seen drifting off alone In the boat, which had righted itself. This was doubt less thfl one found near Salmon Riv er. Six men. and two boys wero drowned at the side of the Hestia. COMMERCIAL Weekly Review of Trade and lviarKet Keports. H. O.
