Capt.

Capt. Sealby sent up a blue rocket and began to climb the rigging for his life. Up the foremast he shinned sixty feet to the truck, the vessel going down beneath him. Searchlights from the Gresham, the Seneca andthe Furnessia were on him as he climbed. Finally the vessel with a final lurch dived to the bottom and he jumped into the sea, where Scott was already swimming. They were picked up by a boat's crew from the Gresham and are now on their way to New York on the Seneca, Few of fhe passengers who were rescued from the Republic saved any clothing. When they got aboard the Baltic yesterday morning, after having been re-transterred from the Florida, most of them were in the clothing they wore when they retired Friday night.
