The bark Crlspo , bound from Jamaica to Prlnco Edward island with a cargo of rum and molasses , put in at ? Now London , Conn. , on , the 8th inst. , for repairs. In tlio neigh borhood of the Bermudas she encountered a small hurricane that weakened her foremast and carried away her flying jib-boom. On board was a woman that waa nicked un about 20 ! ) miles northeast of the Bermudas floating in a molasses hogshead and nearly dead from exposure and hunger. The woman tells a story of adventure that is rarely mot with even in the annals of sea faring life set forth In fiction. Sue gave her name as Mrs. Mary Urotano , and according to her story she'sot sail Sep tember 2S from Arccibo , Kan Juan island , in the Italian bark Corqumez , of which her hus band was captain. They cairled a cnrgo of rum , molasses and spices , nnd were bound for Now York. From the start the Corqumcz mot with rough weather and made slow headway. When fifty miles southeast of the Bermudas two sailors were washed overboard - board by a . heavy sea and drowned. This accident left the bark with a crow of only six men. For nearly throe weeks the bark buifotcd the heavy seas , mulling but slow headway ; then one of the sailors was ) stricken with pneumonia , and , in spite of all thocrowcould do , bodied. This left live men aboard the bark , and that number was cut down to three a few days Inter when a sea came aboard , tore a boat from its .fastenings and swept It against tlio mate and the cook , driving them agalnsi the leeward rail and crushing the life out of them. With but two men to assist him , the captain found lilmsclf unable to mun.igo the vessel properly. Mrs. Bretano had followed the water with her husband for several years , and she was something of a sailor. She did her best to assist her husband , but in spite of the efforts of the depleted crew , the ves sel sheared around until she sailed squaruly bcforo the wind. For two days she drove inland bsforu a tcarlliu pain that finally car ried her foremast away , and a few hours later a sea ripped up the wheel and carried it overboard , taking with it two men who were steering. The captain and his wife were alone , and. with the steering apparatus gone , nil they could do was to hope for tlio best. Twenty-four hours without rest the man and woman tolled at the pumps , then Mrs. Hrotano's strength gave out , and her hus band continued alone. The water gained on the pumps , nnd when a sea came orer the stern and swept thu length of the lurk , tear ing up the hatches , the water pournd into thu hold like a cataract. The captain , see ing now thut work at the pumps was useless , turned Ills attention to ijovl&in. ? some means of saving his wlfo. It was a question of a few hours when the vessel would go down , and she was likely to bo overwhelmed any moment by the waves that were grow ing heavier. ' WKIi the asslstanco of his wife the cap tain managed to got an empty molasses hogshead out of t tie hold , and lashing it to thu mainmast , ho cut a square hole in the side of it largo enough to admit the body of his wlfo. Around the barrel hn fastened several lengths of strong rope , securely lasliing thorn there , so that the barrel was Dually inclosed in a sort of network of rope , To thu end o ( these ropes that hung from the sldo of the cask , opposite the hole , ho attached several ploces of ulg iron , that together weighed a good many hundred pounds. Into the barrel ho put provisions nnd water and wearing up- parel , and after all his vrilo got in. Thou the barrel was unl'ishcri ' from the main mast. With his wlfo provided for , Captain Bro- tana boson work on another hogshead that ho intended to prepare in the same manner for his own occupanuy. Ho had roped the cask and was getting the iron ready for it when a mighty sea throw the vessel on her beam ends nnd another wave swept tlio deck clean. That was tholasttliutMrs.Brotanosaw of her husband.

The fate of her husband overcame the woman , anil sie ! says that 'she fainted. She must.havo lain a long time unconscious , for when she again rcali/ed her surround ings it wns night. The waves wore running mountains high , but the cask rode them like a duck. She sufTnred u good deal from cold , and aho was contiuually wet by the spray that How through the opening at the top of the cask. She had a good supply of provi sions in the shape of oauued meats and water in bottles. At the end of two ( lays the Y7ind and the waves subsided nnd the woman could stand up and take-a survey of the son. She had no Idea of her whereabouts , bat she hoped that she was in the path of some craft that would pick her up. Her strange vessel stood the wear and tear of the waves splendidly , hut she -was la constant fear that the weights would become looao. hi which case she know that the cusk would roll over and nil. As ncarlv as she can calculate , she was alloat five days. On the fourth day aho drank the last drop of water that Bho had and ate tlio last morsel of food , a poou deal of which had been spoiled by the salt spray boating Into the opened cans of mo.it and noaUing the biscuits that she couldn't pro tect. She suffered intensely from the cold , and as her body grew weak from hunger and thirst she felt the exposure more keenly. On the morning of the ilfth day she becama so weak that ahe couldn't stand , and hoping for a quick termination of her sufferings she lay helpless In the tossing cask. It was on this day that the cask was picked up by the Orisno and the woman discovered.
