Helped aboard the Mallory, warmed and fed, the survivors told of the sinking of the Barba dos and the long hours of piiva tion, made longer by the fact that there were no flares in the life boat and other vessels had ridden by at night when the cries of the six found no ear.
The dead were E. G, Valverde, a West Indian negro and owner of the Barbados; Hattie Valverds, his wife; John R. Smith, of Sea ttle, chief engineer; J. F. Walker, of O; lando, Fla., assistant engineer; George Franklin, negro sea man; George A- Watt, West Indian cook; and A. O. Walters, negro mess boy.
