Cutting from “The DAILYGRAPH”

(Pasted in Mina Murray’s Journal.)

LOG OF THE “DEMETER.” (continued)

28 July.—Four days in hell, knocking about in a sort of maelstrom, and the wind a tempest. No sleep for any one. Men all worn out. Hardly know how to set a watch, since no one fit to go on. Second mate volunteered to steer and watch, and let men snatch a few hours’ sleep. Wind abating; seas still terrific, but feel them less, as ship is steadier.
