AFTER TWELVE HOURS OF FROST AND TEMPEST THE RESCUE OF SURVIVORS OF THE " HILDA FROM THE RIGGING BY THE " ADA'S BOAT. DRAWN BY H. C. SEPPINGS WRIGHT FROM DESCRIPTIONS BY THE RESCUERS.

The "Hilda" struck at 8.30 p.m. on November 18 on a reef behind the Isle of Cezembre, outside St. Malo. The life-boat could not be lowered because of the rocks. The starboard cutter was half-lowered, but was capsized by a sea. In less than half an hour nearly everyone had been swept away, except seven, who clung to the rigging, and one on the forecastle. They were twelve hours exposed and three men in the rigging were frozen to death. As the " Ada's boat came alongside two bodies fell off. Grinter, the only survivor of the crew, clung to the lamp on the mast. The man on the forecastle, an onion-seller, was saved by the French pilot-boat.
