The next day, during stormy weather, the Hesperus, commanded by Captain Budge, was trying to reach the is- land with Dr, A. Shearer when the Neptune was sighted at § p.m. and towed to Tobermory Bay. On Fri day morning the storm became more vislent and a gecynd attempt to reach St. Kilda failed. Owing to continued tempestuous weather, the trip was temporarily abandon- ed. In the meantime, the Hesperus returned to Tobermcry and towed the Neptune to Ohan, arriving Sunday afternoon. The call to St. Kilda was made Monday, The arrival of the Neptune at Ohan aroused great interest, spec- tators comventing on the excel- lent condition of tho eleven persons comprising: the crew and passen- gers, including 2 woman, who showed no sign of the ordeal they had undergone, Captain, Barbour and the others from the Neputne were entertain- cd by the Council of Tobermory, and Mrs. Humphries, wife of the boatswain, Peter Humphries, re- ceived the hospitality of Mrs. Mac- Gilp Clydesd,.le at Bank House.

"We expected to spend our Christmas at home with * other members of our family," she re marked, "Instead, "hristmas Day saw all hope of making home abar doned as we were heading straignt for whatever land ve might make on the other side of the Atlantic, "I was confined to the forecastle along with the crew as it wag im possible 10 remain aft owing to the tremendous seas. which were continually being shipped. With the confined alr of the forecastle and anxiety I was completely pros- trate." Peter Humphries, oldest man on board the Neptune, gave the fol- lowing account of the trip: "We loaded with general cargo at St. John's, bound to Newtown Bonavista Bay, and sailed, on No- vember 29, with six of a crew ana five passengers, including my wife When almost within sight of ou home, we struck p heavy gale o! wind and snow which forced us to run under almost bare poles for 220 miles, "The seas were terrifie, anld in all my forty years' experience as a Newfoundland fisherman I never encountered worse. While takin; my watch at the wheel one sea en- gulfed the entire poop, swept away our wheelhouse, smashed both life- boats and damaged our steering gear,. I was thrown against a little deckhouse and rendered uncon- scious, but fortunately I got tang led up in some ropes and that kept me from being washed overboard "The wind changed and by ty- ing up temporary steering gear we endeavoured to sail back to St. John's. We made good progress for two days but again encounter ed more head winds which inercas- ed to gale force, and once more we had to run before it. For four days we kept the vessel running before the wind and then found ourselves abcut 300 miles south- east of St. John's, where we hove to_another four days, We spoke tc a large British passenger liner oa the 14th of December and sent a message on houtrd, - "After we had driftea about for some days the weather became worse, and on December 21gt we found that the only hope of saving our lives was to try to make across to Britain, We had only one com- pass on board and no other instru- ménts, so it was impossible to take our bearings.
