Struck Their Ship on Sept, 18 and Waterlogged Her, Then They Floated in Her Help- lessly Until They Took to the Open Boat. ‘Twenty-seven days on a water-logged ehtp, working continuousty to keep her from sinking, then ten days afloat for 1,480. miles in a heavy sea in an open boat before they reached land, were the terrible experiences of ten men and a woman who arrived in this port to-day trom Trinidad. ‘The woman was the wife of Capt. Kay, of the British bark Florence B. Padgett. The men were the Captain and his crew of nine. With the lack of abservation peculiar to seamen, Captain Kay and his men failed to record thelr experiences in de- tall, save in the briefest way. It does not appear to occur to them that to drift on the ocean for more than a month, nearly all the time within sight of the beaten path of steamships, and not to be,observed, was out of the ordinary citance of peril that a sailor tal But eni@agh can be gleaned from their re- port to make one of the most absorbing stories of the sea that has been told heredbouts for a long time. Preparations That Saved. The Florence B. Edgett, a stanch bark ‘of Wl tons, built at Digby, N. 8., In 1890, fad been sailed by Capt. Kay into and cut of ports In all parts of the world. She left Bear River, N.S. on Aug. 16, Joaded with lumber for Buenos Ayres, Impgangtic(pation of along and tedious ‘age the captain had lafd in a big upply’of provisions and water.

Kay, is a handsome Canadian French- womah, twenty-seven years of age. She is stopping with the mother of her hus- band, Mrs. J. Kay, at No. 513 Twelfth street, Brooklyn, and ‘has nearly recov- ered from her experience in the shtp- wreck. “I have made several, voyages with my husband,” said Mrs. Kay this after- noon, “but this is the first time we ever had any ttouble, There was plenty of .warning of the storm that was our un- doing, but we were not prepared for ne weverity of it when it came on jept. “{t eemed to us that there were vol- canoes erupting under the surface of |, the ocean.
