A BATTERED BARQUE
SEAMANSHIP SAVES HER. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 2, 5.5 p.m. Sydney, August 2. The American four-masted barque Espada, from Puget Sound to Adelaide, was towed in partially dismasted and in a leaky condition. She encountered gales in the vicinity of Samoa, and sprang a leak. Her timber cargo prevented her foundering. She took refuge in a cove in one of the islands, and the water being pumped out she resumed her voyage. Further gales sprang up, and she again leaked badly. Sails were carried away, but with careful navigation she succeeded in reaching port. GREAT HARDSHIPS SUFFERED. Received 2, 9.20 p.m. Sydney, August 2. The crew of the Espada suffered great hardships, owing to the shortage of stores, due to the protracted voyage.
