Shipwrecked Grew Telle Story es Great Suffering Following Disaster. London.—A terrible story of the sufferings of a shipwrecked crew was told at Liverpool recently when the Booth liner, Denis, landed the captain and six men of the Schooner Hibernia, which became derelict in mid-Atlan-tic. The captain stated that for twentynine days the men drifted in their water-logged and dismasted vessel, anjl for fourteen days they had neither bread nor water. One tin of salmon bad to serve the seven men. To quench their thirst they resorted to chewing tea and their last meal was a turnip boiled in sea water. After that the only thing left was the ship’s eat.
