London, Aug. 18.
Splendid discipline was shown at the Fifeshire wreck. The passengers were calm. The chief officer, Mr. Woods, left to seek assistance. High seas threatened to swamp the boat. A big steamer passed close to them on Sunday, but failed to see them. They were eventually rescued three hundred and fifty miles from the wreck, greatly exhausted. They had only five ounces of water daily for five days. The heat was intense. In another two days all would have been dead.
