CREW’S PRIVATION
WHEN SHIP BEATEN BY STORM. SINGAPORE, December 3. . A violent storm, in which their vessel was swept off the regular steamer track into the China Sea, enlivened the voyage from Macassar to Singapore of the five Australians who are cruising to England in the auxiliary ketch Gullmarn.' When 800 miles out from Macassar, the Gullmarn struck a dead calm, which lasted for nine days. This was succeeded by a violent storm, and the little vessel was swept into the China Sea, off the beaten track. Again the Gullmarn was headed for Singapore, but by this time provisions and fuel were running low, and the travellers were obliged to ration themselves to three cups of rice a* day, onions, shark meat and barnacles. Water, fortunately, was plentiful. Only four days’ supply of food was left when a steamer was sighted and stopped by distress -signals, and the voyages replenished their • stores.
