A short time ago a young Italian named Montinari tried to cross tbe Adriatic in a ' skiff. A storm came up and for nearly fortyeight hours he struggled against winds and waves and contrived to keep his tiny craft afloat, although he lost an oar early in his voluntary cruise, and sustained severe hurts upon his hdad, right foot, chest, and both hands. Towards sunset of the second day, when he had given up all hope of hunian aid, he espied afar off the smoke arising from a steamer's fuunel. By almost superhuman effort he succeeded in approaching the 'steamer within hailing distance and piteously implored the cap* tain to take him on board. The latter, addressed him in French, asked him " How much he would give to be saved," to which barbarous question Montinari replied, " A thousand francs." "That is too little/ rejoined his inhuman interlocutor, and the steamer proceeded on her way. Eleven hours later he was rescued by the Rusßian£barque Jenny.
