WAsnINGToN. March 1.-The decision in

case Of Trinity church Of New York city

by Justice Bower. This case arose under

oooPBD IN A OAPslzaD VESSEL,
The Terrible Experience OF Maine
Sea Captain and His Crew.
From the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
No seaman ever knew more terrible and
unique experience than that which fell to
the lot of Capt James Moore Of Pbipsburg,
an experience that thrilled the ssa-Qoing
world at that time. Capt. Morse had been
overtaken by a terrible gale, and while
"lyinR tor one of the tremendous waves
which plunged along mast-high 'tripped"
the vessel and she was instantly turned
bottom up. capt. Moore and q companion
were in the cabin at the time, and as the
deck was several feet below the surface Of
the sea they were imprisoned there. They
were In absolute darkness, standing in
water up to their waists, seemingly helpless
and doomed.
But Capt. Morse and his companion were
not the kind of men to surrender to the
seemingly inevitable until forced to do 80.
Grouping about they found a hatcnet and
decided to hew their way TO the upper air
Knowing that as soon as an opening was
made the air, which was then shut in bv
the arch of the inverted hull, would escape
and the water take its place, they were
obliged to work with the greatest caution
lest they make fatal leak before there was
hole large enough to permit of their es-
cape and 80 be drowned like rats impris-
oned there For days they worked, cutting
away the ceiling and planks until,they could
CdCcn the Riedm OIL ARHJ through the
thin wood in one place, then cutting
again until another part was similarly
cleared and so on until the light, passing
through the slight surface, marked the
lines of a square place large enough to ad-
NIT the free passage OF mans body. Then,
when every possible preparation had been
made and there seemed to be nothing more
that they coulc do to insure the success OF
the final move, they knocked out the OBJ
struction square aud cra@led into the day.
light as the water, freed from the opposi-
tion Of the compressed air, followed them,
and the vessel sank lower INFO the water
uutil the natural buoyaucy Of the timber
checked her.
There they were, perched on the curved
surface of capsized wreck, drifting at the
mercy Of the seas. But they had no idea Of
surrender. Having escaped to the light they
at once set to work to build up a sort OF sig
nal station to attract the attention of any
vess ell that might chance to come that way,
aud from / Q top they fixed o staff from
whick fiuttered a signal-a shirt. Fortu-
nately a brick-laden schooner passing that
way sighted the signal of distress, bore
down upon and rescued the men, who we're
almost exhausted by their days Of suffering
there, their torn hands showing how they
had labored in the terrible darkness, but
they soon recovered, and no one talking
with the captain to-day would ever suspect
that he had once dug his way out of the
sepulcher of the sea.
