Awful Tale of Wreck of the Mexicano Survivors Reach New York
Survivors of the British steamer Mexicano tell of a gale on September 16 that sank the vessel. The Vidar, arriving from Carbarien, rescued six crewmen, exhausted and near insane. The storm tore the ship apart, life boats and ventilators vanished, and escape came only as the stern went under. The hourswain refused to abandon ship and died in his junk. Two men stayed in the stoke room, choosing danger over surrender. Survivors earlier on the bridge jumped as the ship went down, with pistol shots heard near the end. The second mate, in a life buoy, bore farewell to the crew before disappearing. Some survivors may have been picked up by other ships.
