Typhoon Drama En Route to Manila Shipwrecked Sailors Tell Tale
A New York correspondent recounts a brutal typhoon in the China Sea near May last. Captain McKay steadied the crew as wind and sea hammered the barque, sails ripped away, masts snapped, and water rose. The crew fought to lighten the vessel, pumps bayed, and by evening the hold was drained. They limped to Manila seeking refit, while other ships faced the same gale. The writer, seasoned by Cape Horn voyages, vows to never witness such force again.
