Sun Francisco, Jan. 16. Tossod
about by furious teae, without pro
visions in the larder, and fighting the
wlnda with hsinger-drawn facos, the
men of the schooner Quoen wore noar
death Tueotlay, when they received
assistance from the Norwoglan tenm
er Thyra, 100 mllea aouthweat of this
port.
The Thyra sighted tho Quoen Tuos

vfssel. The Queen lay to and a boat
put off In which CnptaJn Potorson, of
the Queen, came aboard the Nor
wegian crnft.
Ho was so woak that ho could
searcoly clnmber up tho Bide, and tho
gaunt rowor that pullod tho dory
made but alow progress ncro tho
waves. On board tho Thyra Captain
Peterton told a pitiful story of hard
ship and exposure continued through
many dny. The Q'.ieon wna bound
from Tillamook to San Podro, nnd
had not been long out of the formor
harbor when she enoounterod heavy
weather. She passed through storm
after etorm, and about a week ago all
her provision were waehed away bv
the seas that eroaied her decks, or
else n saturated with salt that thev
could not be used. Since then the
crew ami captain had been living on
brackish water ami, salt-soaked, bla -
cult. ICach day they grew weaker
and weaker, and, unless they had
sighted some friendly ship, Captain
Peterton felt they would have been
doomed.

mainder of the trip, and the dory
which brought him was loaded down
with food for tho starving sailors.
