The skies became threat- lening. A light snow squall sprung 'up. I turned to Harry Manning, - |my chief officer, who had picked a volunteer crew. The Florida was heaving on ay ' |heavy squall. Her lee rail was un- ,der water. She was listing at an |angle about 35 degrees. Mr. Man- > (ning and his eight men jumped {into a boat and it was lowered. They pushed off, aided by a north- Iwest wind, and I took the Ameri- {ea to the lec side of the Florida, There were still a few lights on the Florida and her engines were turn- ing over slowly.
