*One of Surviving Men Tells Breeze 
of His Awful Experience 
Those who read in the daily papers 
the first of the week of the terrible ex- 
perience of two Boston men, John 
Baker, 65, and Michael Shea, ay who 
were picked up in a dory, exhausted, 
near Yarmouth, N. S., after drifting a- 
bout four days and four nights, little knew 
that one of the men, John Baker, 1s 
known to some extent in Manchester. 
He is a father of “Thomas Baker, John 
A. Baker and Mrs. John W. Gaapbell 
and was here visiting them on Easter 
Sunday. In the early days Mr. Baker 
followed the sea and now in his advanc- 
ing years he is not content only when he 
is following his former avocation. 
For the past few days Mr. Baker 
has been in Manchester visiting his 
children. The BREEZE mancalled on 
him Thursday evening and Mr. Baker 
related his awful experiences which 
were substantially the same as pub- 
lished in the daily papers. 
“We left Boston on Saturday, Apr. 
27, he said, “and on the following 
Tuesday arrived on Brown’s Banks, 
65 miles from Cape Sable. There 
were 21 of us” At 6 o'clock in ‘the 
morning we put off in our dories to 
set the trawls for cod and haddock. 
It was a little foggy and we calculated 
to be back to the boat about 10 or 11 
o'clock. We started back to the boat, 
but could see nor hear anything of her. 
We rowed about until 5 o’clock, and 
seeing we were lost we started to pull 
for shore, which we judged the direc- 
tion of by the wind. Wekept this up 
all Tuesday night, Wednesday, Thurs- 
day until Friday night at 5 o’lock, not 
having a thing to eat or drink, except 
some raw fish in the boat, and lay lap- 
ping water that settled on our oars and 
boat from the fog and alittle rain. It 
was something awful,— the pangs of 
hunger and thirst. 
‘«« About dusk Friday we were picked 
up by a small lobster steamer near 
Seal Island and were taken into Woods 
Hale, and from there to Yarmouth, 
coming from there to Boston by steam- 
er last Sunday.”
