WIFE'S INTUITION.
KNEW HUSBAND LIVED. London, March 3. While the families of 11 members of the crew of a Grimsby trawler, missing for a month, gave up hope of their rescue, went into mourning and received compensation, the wife of the third hand refuged to believe that her husband was dead, saying that something told her that his boat was safe. She was right, for news had been received from Iceland that the trawler was towed in to Reykjavik by a German boat. It had been caught in a storm and used up all its coal steaming against big seas. It was carried into the North Atlantic away from the track of shipping. All the woodwork was burned to keep the fires going while on the wav to Iceland. The food gave out and the crew lived for 16 days on their catch of fish. Finally the trawler was towed 200 miles to safety.
