Five Days on a Raft in the Atlantic
«. I The barque Helen Finlayson, of Androssan, from New York, has arrived at Queenstown with Captain Bain and five seamen of tbe ship Rcgina, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, which was completely dis abled during tbe recent storm while on a voyage from Philadelphia to London. Finding the vessel could not hold together the crew constructed a raft, upon which the captain and ten men put off, leaving the remainder of the crew, seven in number, on the ship's poop. After casting adrift the raft capsized, losing all the provisions. Five men swam back to the vessel, but the other six remained to rigbt tbe raft, and were picked up exhausted five days afterwards.
