Five Days in Open Boat. I CREW'S TERRIBLE ORDEAL. Sad Spectacle at Milford Haven. I Nothing sadder has ever been witnessed at Milford Haven than the spectacle presented on Sunday morning by the arrival of 25 men, part of Abe crew of a vessel torpedoed several days pre- viously. The men in an open boat left the ship with six other boats full, but soon lost touch of each other and what has become of the remaining five boats they cannot say, maybe they too have rescued, and maybe they have perished. Nearly all the men were in a pitiable state of exhaustion consequent on their terrible sufferings, and bad to be assisted to the John Cory Sailors' Rest and Bethel, while two had to be carried. For five days and nights they drifted along in their craft over 200 miles until picked up by a patrol boat. One biscuit per man each day was all the food available, and the water supply giving out, the poor fellows were nearly famished. To add to their sufferings the weather was very severe, and almost to a man their feet were swollen from frost- bite. On reaching the Institution they were promptly attended to and put to bed, and under skilled treatment are progressing as favourably as can be expected.
