Survivors of a shipwreck on the barren Florida coast endure several days of hardships before rescue

The Mary Kingsland was en route from New York when she was wrecked on a barren stretch of Florida coastline during a severe storm.  All aboard managed to scramble ashore and the survivors, including a theatrical troupe fro New York City, endured a harsh few days on the beach as the storm continued.  They were rescued when the steamship Cahawba arrived, sent in boats, and picked them up.  (By John Osborne)
