A GRAPHIC TALE OF SEA 1S TOLD London, Aug. 28.--When the steamer Albuera, bound from Port Alfred, Can- ada, arrived at Gravesend recently, she had aboard two Newfoundland fishermen, whose adventures in the Atlantic madeé a dramatic story. Tortured. by thirst and craving for food, unable to speak, and with eyes that could not see, these men had been adrift in a small open boat on the At- lantic for 11 days and nights, when, on July 8, the look-out man on the Albuera noticed the boat a mile and a half away. "We drew up alongside the boat," said the skipper of the Albuera, Cap- tain Georgeson, "and to our amaze- ment we saw two men lying prostrate in it. Their faces and necks were scaled, and in their eyes, fixed and staring, there was a look almost of sadness. Unable to more than wave to us feefly, they lay there helpless at the bottom of the boat while we put lines over the side of the vessel, and carried them on board. They were soaked to the skin, and a few more hours must have killed them. "Days passed before they were able to tell me that they were fishermen who had got adrift from their fishing smack at the Grand Banks, Nova Sco- tia. For 11 days and nights they had drifted helplessly, carried along by a southerly wind, with only a handful of biscuits to eat and no water. After six days they were driven alongside an iceberg. They climbed onto it and broke off pieces of ice, and for an hour or so managed to get a little fresh water." The heroes of this amazing adyven- ture are George Robert May and Charles Williams. Both are middle- aged men, and May is a married man with eight children. They are in the Tilbury Cottage Hospital in beds alongside one another. It was easy to see that it will be months before they recover from their ordeal. Asked what they had thought about in their 11 days adrift on the Atlantic, Williams said: "Nothing, sir. My mate and I, we just sat and stared at ome another, hoping against hope, and wondering when, or if ever, we were going to be rescued. "We just carried on," said May, "doing what little we could do to help one another, eking out the few biscuits we had, and looking out day and night for a passing sail or a steamer. "We saw nothing. One day be- came two days, two three, three days became four days, and so we dnited on helplessly, not knowing where we were going. And then Providence blew us alongside an iceberg about the size of this ward. This was on the sixth day. Williams and I crawled out of the boat, for we were both then becoming exhausted, climbed on to the iceberg, and managed to break off a little piece, which we sucked. In this way, I suppose, our lives were saved, otherwise we must have gone mad" Williams took up the tale: "We had only one pipe between us, but no to- bacco. In order to stave aff the pangs of hunger and thirst I held the stem in my mouth for an hour. Then it would be May's turn. Neither «© us slept for the best part of mine days. "The night we were picked up by the Albuera there was a gale which must have swamped us.

When we first cut but these were lost." p ; X Explaining how they. got separated from their fishing smack, the -Donald Creaser,. of Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, Williams said: "We were making our way to 'our fishing lines when a blind- ing fog came down and after some hours we realized we were lost, We had nothing but a handful of biscuits in the way of food, and no water." BROWNS LOSE 17TH GAME TO YANKEES New York, Aug. 28--The St. Louis Browns took their 17th deieat of the season from the New York Yankees in a 10 to 6 game at St. Louis today. Babe Ruth slugged his 42nd homer ol the year mm the first inning with Koenig on base. Koenig in the fourth inning slammed another homer with none of base. Two of the Browns' runs were brought in ahead of Williams, who batted another homer in the third inning. The Athletics strengthened their hold on second place by defeating Detroit, 9 to 5, in the second game of the series at Detroit. It was the Tigers' fifth sue- cessive loss, Owen Carroll was wild and ineffective and also received poor support. Rube Walberg was called on for the second day in a row to hold the Philadelphia lead. He replaced Grove, the starting pitcher, in the eighth in- ning. Chicago bunched hits off Tom Zach- ary in the seventh inning behind a brace of errors to shut out the Senators 4 to 0, in a pitching duel at Chicago between Ted Blankenship and John- son, Zachary and Burke for Washing- ton, The Senators have failed to hang up a victory in their last 13 starts one of which resulted in a tie. The Boston Red Sox, however, hold the longest los- ing streak in the majors thus far this season with 15 setbacks in a row, PHILLIPS ON EVEN TERMS WITH BEAVERS W. E. Phillips horsehide chasers evened it up with Beavers in the Jun- ior Industrial League race for third position at Cowan Park on Saturday afternoon when they defeated the clan by a 13 to 3 score in six innings, the game being called at that time because of the Beaver manager pulling his team off the ficld, charging them with not playing ball as they shiuld of lay- me down. Philiips' victory makes an- other game with Beavers necessary to decide which will gain the right to en- ter the championship play downs which begin tomorrow with the winning team meeting Eagles. Eleven runs in the sixth and last inning after Beavers were ahead by a 3 to 2 score, was responsible for Char- lie Blake's men carrying off such a one sided victory and was also respon- sible for Beavers being taken off the field.

The Newark pitchers left the bench dur- ing the argument and started to- ward Umpire Fyfe and that official promptly ejected all of them. Con- lan, centre fielder, took the mound and allowed no hits after Williamson had hit a home run inside the park with the bases loaded, driving out Zubris, After changing into their street clothes the banished Bears marched in lockstep formation from the club- house to a position near the fence, behind first base, where they formed a chorus and serenaded Umpire Fyfe for the remainder of the game, Wil- bur Creelin, Newark secretary, who rushed on the field during the argu- ment over the decision, was also chas- ed by Fyfe, who threatened to call the police onto the diamond, A public meeting was recently held in one of the Transvaal dorps as a protest against the Flag Bill, Feeling ran high, but the climax came when an interrupter hurled a cabbage-head at the speaker.
