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.
Third Mate Mallowes told a graphic
-4 story of his battle with John Condon,
a Greco-American seaman, when the
