Gallant Rescue At Sea From Abandoned Russian Bark Cuba
The German steamer Barcelona rescued the fifteen crew of the Russian bark Cuba after it was abandoned at sea January 18 in rough weather. The vessel, built at Richmond Maine in 1871 and laden with timber for Lingtol England, was dismasted and waterlogged, pumping failed, and the crew clung to a drifting raft before rescue. Captain Bohn of the Barcelona reports sighting lights and flames, and after a hard operation the lifeboat reached the wreck and brought the crew to safety. The Cuba’s crew included the captain and fourteen seamen.
