The bark Crispo, bound from Jamaica to Prince Edward island with a cargo of rum and molasses, put in at New London, Conn., on the Sth inst., for repairs. In the neigh- borhood of the B udas she encountered a small hurricane that weakened her foremast and carried away her flymg iib-boom. On board was a woman that was picked up about 200 miles northeast of the Bermudas floating in a molasses hogshead und nearly dead from exposure and hunger. Tho woman tells a story of adventure that is rarely met with even in the annals of sea- faring life set forth in fiction, She gave her name as Mrs, Mary Bretano, and according to her story she'set sail Sep- tember from Arecibo, San Juan island, in the Italin bark Lonmmnl o! which her hus- band was captain. They carried a cargo of rum, molasses and spices, and were bound for New York. From the start the quinez met with rough weather and made slow headway. When fifty miles southeast of the Bermudas two sailors were washed ovi board by a . heavy sea and drowned. This accident left the bark witha crew of ouly six men. for nearly three weoks the bark buffoted the hoavy seas, making but slow headws then one'of the sailors was strickon with pueumonia, and, in spite of all the crew could do, he died. Tiis left five men aboard the bark, and that number was cut down to three a few days later when a sea came aboard tore o boat from its fasteningsand swept it against the mate and the cook, driving them agains. the leeward rail and ‘crushing the life out of them. With but two men to assist him, tho captain found himself unable to munage the vessel properly. Mrs, Bretano had followea the water with her husband for several years, and she was somethiag of a sailor. She did her best to assist her husband, but in spite of the efforts of the depleted crew, the ves- sel sheered around until she sailed squarely before the wind. For two days sho drove inland bafore a tearific gale that finally car- ast o v, and a few hours later a sea ripped up the wheel and carriad it overboard, taking with 1t ty men who were steering. The captain and his wife were alone, and, with the steering apparatus gone, all they could do was to hope for the Dest. Twenty-four hours without rest the man and woman toiled at the pumps. then Mrs. Brotano's strength gave out, d her hus- band continued alone er gained on the pumps, and wh er the E the bark, tear- ing up the hatches, L)m water poured into the hold like a cataract. The capiain, s g now that work at the pumps was useless, turned his atteution to devising some means of saving his wife. It was & question of u few hours when the vessel would go down, and she was likely to be overwhelmed any moment by the waves that were grow- ing heavier, With the assistance of his wife the cap- tain managed to get an empty molasses hogshead out of the hold, and lashing it to the mainmast, he cut & square hole iu the side of it large enough to admit the body of bis wife. Avound the barrél he fastoued several lengths of strong rop ecurely lashing them there, 80 that the barvel was finally inclosed in a sort of network of rope. 'T'othe end of these ropes that hung from the side of the cask, opposite the hole, he attached several pinces of pig iron, that together weighed & good many hundred pounds, Ino the barrel he put provisions and water and wearing ap- parel, and after all his wite got in. Then the barrel was unlashed from the main mast. With his wife provided for, Captain Bre- tano began work on another hogshead that he intended to prepare in the same mauner for his own oeel He had roped the ady for it when a mighty sea threw the vessel on her beam ends and another wave swept the deck clean. That was the last that Mrs. Bretano saw of her husband. The cask 1n which she stood was ballusted by the weights that hung un- doraeath i, snd its extrews buoyaucy keph it afloat. The fate of her husband overcame the woman, and she says that she fainted. She must. have lain a long time unconscious, for when she again _realized her suvround- ings it was night. The waves were running mountains high, but the cask rode them like a duck. She suffered a good deal from cold, and she was continually wet by the spray that flow through the opening at the top of the cask. She hada good supply of provi- sions in the shape of canned meats and water in bottles. At the end of two days the wind and the waves subsided and the woman could stan:d up and vake a survey of the seca. She had no idea of her whel but she hoped that she was in the me craft that would pick her up. strange vessel stood the wear and tear of the waves splendidly, but she was in constant fear that the weights would become loose, in which case sho knew that the cask would roll over and fill, he can calculate, she was On the fourth day she drank the last drop of water that she had and ate the last morsel of food, a gooa de: of which had been spoiled by the salt spi beating into the opened cans of meat and sonking 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 fifth day she became so weuk that she couldw’t stind, and hoping for a quick termination of her sufferings helpless in the tossing c: 1t was that the e: v p) b he was terribly exhu . but she ‘given good care by the captain of the Crispo, and under ithe effect of nourishing food she soon regained her strength, and but for the grief that she felt at the futeof her nusband, she showed no signs of her ble experience. s EX/ECTED A BATTLE YESTERDAY, Moxican Troops and Iasurgents T to Have Enguged In Vattie, ErL Paso, Nov. 25.--The latest news from Deming, which is the telegraph station nearest the Moxican border vroubles, is that o battle was expected today between the federal troops and the insurgent indians, The insurgent sympathizers here also say that a battle has been fought, but no posi- tive informuation has yet been reccived that such is a fact.
