PRICE ONE CENT. DREAM OF THEIR RESCUE ‘BUOYED UP MEN STARVING 14 DAYS IN BOAT AT SEA Four Survivors of Steamer Colum- bian Tell of Prediction in Vision *® That Brought Hope While Eleven Mates Died of Hungerand Thirst. HALIFAX, N. 8., May 18.—The United States revenue cutter Seneca *rought to this port to-day four survivors of the wreck of the Leyland Miner Columbian. These men, who had been afloat in an open boat for fourteen days, when sighted yesterday morning by the Seneca forty miles south of Sable Island, tell a story of suffering and hardship such as has seldom been heard even here in Halifax, which is a place at which have ‘beem revealed many thrilling and pitiful tragedies of the sea. There were fifteen men in the stall boat when it was launched at midnight on May 3. Eleven of them died during the fourteen days of drifting at the mercy of the wind and tide. The last of those who suc- cumbed passed away yesterday morning. He had dreamed, weeks ago, that he would leave a sinking ship in a small boat and be adrift at sea 14 days before being rescued. The Seneca was almost at hand when he succumbed. The prediction in the vission was constantly before the men and the four survivors were buoyed to the last by the hope that it would come true in their case.

SANDWICH, England, May 18— The United States landed four of her leading golfers safely through the first round of the English amateur cham- plonship here to-day. Francis Ouimet, open champion of the United States; Fred Herreshoft of New York, Chick Evans and Fraser Hale of Chicago all won decisive victories, and their showing to-day may bring one de the quartet to the final round. The sensation of the first round was the elimination of Jerome D. Travers. The young American ateur title holder, before the tour! ment, was regarded here as Ameri- ca’s chief reliance in the international matches, Travers's slump in the firat round was a pleasant sfrprise to the home experts. In practice he per- against Palmer to-day was miserable. He appeared stale and his shots were all poorly played. ‘Travers's failure to remain in the competition was a severe loss to the United States, but to offset this was the remarkable golfing of Francis Outmet, who won a clean-out victory over C, C. McGregor of Manila.
