ble boat , hut we experienced awful
times since we left New York. Sev
eral times , In terrible gales , we nearly
lost our draw anchor , owing to the
gear chafing away. Wo voyaged 3,003
miles. We had great trouble with the
kerosene , because the tanks which
held It broke and flooded the cabin.
JMy boy became 111 and homesick. I
Buffered greatly from exposure and
K long sitting in one position. Wo spoke
the American line steamer Kroon-
land , Aug. 1 , In mid-Atlantic. After
this we encountered a series of severe
gales and the hardships were so
great that I feared we would not sur
vive. I did not speak another vessel
until Aug. 13 , when we met a fisher
man ninety miles off the Scllly Isl
ands. Those ninety miles were the
longest I ever ran In my life. "
The voyagers rarely used the sail
