THE INCA.
AN ANXIOUS TIME. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, Dec. 20. With the decks awash and only kept from sinking by the timber cargo, the Inca's crew were huddled on the poop and the 'captain's wife and baby, saved from constant wetting by fixing a few boards on top of the gangway. After two days of this the captain ordered the crow with his wife and child on board the lifeboat to seek help. He, with the donkcyinan, Ross, who refused to leave Captain Whither, lived till picked up, and throughout the tow, in a small boat at the stem of the Incn, which was then practically under water.
The Cosmos rescue and tow were a Qne piece of seamanship.
