EVIL OMEN FOLLOWED SHIP. Sailor From Vessel That Perished in Hurricane Tells Tf^rilliiijx Story. Miami, Fla.. Sept. 12.?A tiny black speck appeared against the sun and then gradually grew larger as it approached the Ward liner Corydon Sunday morning while the vessel ^ peacefully plowed her way through calm and piaeid seas. It ?va> a Mixture. The bird of ill omen circled , * round and round the Corydon and then for a brief moment lit on the spar. Again the big bird circled, fcl- j lowing the raft for many miles. Such was the story toia uist nigni | by P. Addison, in charge of sup-.r-j cargo aboard the liner, who, with j eight others" of the Corydon's | crew, was brought to this city Thursday afternoon by the schooner Island j i Home after being adrift on an up-; turned lifeboat fifty-three hours with-; out food and water. Although terri- j bly bruised and battered, Addison; and the others were at least able to tell their experiences during the two days they fought the storm on board the Corydon and the nearly three days they were afloat on the lifeboat, j \ w i w Expected Trouble. "I knew something was going to j happen to the ship when I saw that bird," said Addison, "and when itj kept following us mile after mile, I * * ~ * * At. I . told tne captain ana rne crew, umi nobody would listen to me." All. day Sunday as the ship pur-1 sued her way in calm seas and light winds, the great bird hovered over- j board. Sunday night and Monday the Corydon staggered through smashing seas. Monday night every member of v the crew was engaged in a desperate battle for life. There was no food, as the galley and provision room were flooded. i Tuesday morning, Addison said, ^*1 ' they lost control of the ship. The j wireless apparatus was short-circmt' ed and no S. 0. S. calls could be sent out. When the vessel went under, the Americans kept their heads and saved j . * the lives of some others of the crew of thirty-six. Clung to Lifeboat. "I slid against a lifeboat and clung to it when the Corvdon listed," said Addison. "Mallowes was at the other end'. I drew out my razor and slashed at the lashings. Mallowes cut them , at the other end. The lifeboat and I shot into the sea together. Luckily it ' landed right side up and I got in. All the oars were lashed to it." ^ Addison helped nine other men into the lifeboat. A fe'wr moments afterward the Corydon went down. Addison canea to t- VsiJLi lonauo^u) | but the latter would not leave the ship. Battle With Storm. Almost immediately the heavy seas capsized their lifeboat three times, as fast as the men could dive from under it and right it again. They lashed themselves to the seat with N strips of clothing, ^he boat was uncter the water most of the tijne with only the men's heads out. The boat could not have weathered the storm in any other position, Addison declared.
