About tive p. m. the wind shifted
to the north, and the weathe,

cloudy. There was no fog and the steame,
was going at full speed. At ten D. m. the
second iceberg was passed, the wind being
southwest. At eleven p. IN. the lookout
saw what appeared to be fog-banks on the
starboard bow. Being apprehensive OF
danger orders we're given to put the helm
hard a-starboard, the engine at the same
time being stopped. Then it was seen that
the supposed fOg-bank was ice. As it was
impossible to avoid the ice by the use of the
helm, the engine, were backed at full speed:
but they had not been moving in this diree
ton over minute, and the crew had
scarcely had time to leave the forecastle, be-
fore the ship collided violently with tho
iceberg, making terrible crash. The
crew thought the steamer would sink i'm
mediately and preparations were made to
abandon her while the tower of ice creak-
ingly disengaged and slowly drifted off.
The Captain made al examination Of the
bow and discovered that the damage was

also found the ship was making no water.
Being steel ship the plates had not been

NEWARK, N. J., May 21.-Ex-Secretary

been Ill for many weeks and his death had
been expected at any moment but
he fingered in intense agony, when
death put an end to his suffer
ings Mr.. Frelinghuysen was un-
conscious all day and passed
away quietly, dying without struggle. His
bedside was surrounded by his entire family.
He died in the stupor in which he has lain
almost throughout his entire Illness The
funeral will take place next Saturday. Nj
FreIinghuysen was born ut Milltown, n.
j., August 8, 1917. He was graduated
from Rutgers College in 1886. Three years
after he was admitted to the law and re-
sided in Newark. For over twenty years he
held no Office, but he rose to the front Of
the al ways distinguished bar of New Jer
sey, lis neighbors, Joseph p. Brad
ley an6 Cortlandt Palmer, being his only
equals os pleaders or as jury advo-
Gates. The fortune and social distinction
in which he was born were increased By his
abilities and virtues. In 1861 he was ap-
pointed Attorney General of the State by
Governor Charles S. Oiden and in 1866 he
was reappointed by Governor Marcus L.
Ward. In the same year, however, Gov.
ernor. Ward appointed him United States

steamer Mary Lewis, of Newcastle, Captain
Great. from New York for Liverpool
Captain Anderson states he left Drobak
April 4, for orders to Nets. The vessel
met with variable weather until the 9th of
May, when, with the weather thick and
foggy and very dark, she ran into ice near
the banks of New Foundland. The vessel
was completely surrounded by heavy
ice and icebergs. The crew remained
on board until Tuesday afternoon,
when the ieebergs came humping against
the bark. completely surrounding her, and
smashing in her port side. They then took
to boats and went on the ice. barely escap-
ing with their lives. and saving nothing
whatever. They remained three days and
three nights on the ice. All the clothing
they had was on their backs, and this be-
coming wet added to their misery. The
men, however, bore up nobly, being encour-
aged by the heartiness of Captain Ander-
sen. They came out of the ice at two a. ne.
Sunday, took to boat, and pulled westward
in thick fog. After pulling for
about two hours they heard
a steamers whistle. They pulled
alongside the vessel, which proved to BE-
the steamer Mary Lewis, of Newcastle,
bound for Liverpool. They were taken on
board, and the Captain stated that they had
struck in the ice some time before, and the
vessel was then leaking badly. Captain
Anderson had been aboard just an hour
when the Mary Lewis began to sink. Both
crews, numbering thirty1ive persons, left
the steamer IN three small boats and pro-
ceeded west again. They were picked up
BY the Brilliant, after having spent five:
lays among the icebergs in midocean.
