IN THE DINGEY OF THE \"LADY VAIN.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI DO not propose to add anything to what has already been written\u003cbr\u003econcerning the loss of the \"Lady Vain.\"  As everyone knows,\u003cbr\u003eshe collided with a derelict when ten days out from Callao.\u003cbr\u003eThe longboat, with seven of the crew, was picked up eighteen days after\u003cbr\u003eby H. M. gunboat \"Myrtle,\" and the story of their terrible privations\u003cbr\u003ehas become quite as well known as the far more horrible \"Medusa\" case.\u003cbr\u003eBut I have to add to the published story of the \"Lady Vain\"\u003cbr\u003eanother, possibly as horrible and far stranger.  It has hitherto\u003cbr\u003ebeen supposed that the four men who were in the dingey perished,\u003cbr\u003ebut this is incorrect.  I have the best of evidence for this assertion:\u003cbr\u003eI was one of the four men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut in the first place I must state that there never were four men\u003cbr\u003ein the dingey,--the number was three.  Constans, who was \"seen\u003cbr\u003eby the captain to jump into the gig,\"{1} luckily for us and unluckily\u003cbr\u003efor himself did not reach us.  He came down out of the tangle\u003cbr\u003eof ropes under the stays of the smashed bowsprit, some small rope\u003cbr\u003ecaught his heel as he let go, and he hung for a moment head downward,\u003cbr\u003eand then fell and struck a block or spar floating in the water.\u003cbr\u003eWe pulled towards him, but he never came up.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147564531952,"sku":"2940013378933","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013378933_p0.jpg?v=1763580130","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013378933","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
