The women were suffering from exhaustion and all had suffered from hunger and thirst, as they had onry a little water and a few biscuits dur ing the time they were at sea. None was in a serious condition, however. Women and girls among the sur vivors were unable to stand. Some of them were attired in rough blue ov eralls and Jumpers, borrowed from the crew. The hair streaked across their faces was plastered down by the mixture of salt and water used on their foreheads in an effort to revive them when they fainted. One woman 4bout thirty years old fainted as a Ufa guard lifted her tenderly from the yawl. Chief Sur geon Bossert brought her a stimu lant. At that moment the notes of “The Sar Spangled Banner" floated into tbe tent and the woman, half rising on her cot.
