BECOMING MORE SERIOUS.
The Elder Firing Minute Guns OF ID
tresE-CAaR RIM Or

The Elder Firing Minute Guns OF Dis
tress-Seas Rnn High.
LONDON. Feb. .. AS the day wears
on the news from the. Elder becomes
more and more serious. She is now fir
ing minute guns of distress. On shore
the coast guardsmen have repeatedly
shot the rocket line, ball, chain and line
in the direction of the steamship but
each time the line has fallen short of
the mark. This is due, not only to the
distance she lies off shore, but to the
strength of the wind, which is blowing
dead in the teeth of the life savers. AS
sistance has been sent for to all neigh
boring points. and the North German
Lloyd agents at Southampton are ex-
erting themselves to the utmost in
their efforts to save the lives of the pas
sengers and crew, and can possibly save
the crew and her cargo. The life boats
throughout the morning continued their
gallant efforts to battle successfully
with the wind, waves and rocks, and at
least one more boat is now known to
have managed to get alongside the inn
perilled steamer. The life boats are
taking the greatest risks in their deter
mination to approach the Elder, and are
in constant danger of being stove in by
the sharp pointed rocks, or If they es-
cape this danger, of being crushed to
pieces alongside the vessel they are try
ing to assist. An attempt to pass the
rocky barriers alone is most hazardous
undertaking, as the sea has not, up to
this hour, abated in the slightest degree
in violence.
The Elder Resting Easier.
Towards the afternoon the Elder
rested in an easier position, and hopes
were entertained that she was not SO
seriously injured as at first reported. 1t
was even said that she had passed the
rocks and only rested on sand bar near
them. By order of Captain Heinreicke,
about sixty bales of cotton were hoisted
out of the hold and thrown overheard,
thus Tightening the vessel to an appre-
ciable extent. The bales of cotton bob
bing up and down on the waves, are
being washed ashore and will, it is ex-
pected, be saved, though damaged to
some extent by water. This tightening
of the vessel considerably raised the
hopes OF those who expect that the Elder
will soon be fioated off.
The tugs and life boats stood by the
ship throughout the day, salvagmg cot
ton when possible, and doing everything
to assist the stranded vessel.

TWENTY MEN DROWNED.

British Ship Ferndaie Blown Ashore on

PORTLAND, Or, Feb 2. The British
ship Ferndale, from New Castle, N. s.
W., for Portland to load wheat, was
blown ashore ten miles north of Gray's
harbor. The vessel now lies mile off
shore total wreck. Three of the crew
reached shore by clinging to the pieces
of the wrecked vessel. Twenty others,
including officers, were lost. The mates
body was found on the beach encased in
life preservers, but no trace of the others
was found. A terrific gale blew all day
Friday, and very high tide followed,
