/
Little or No Hope of Pulling the Elder on
the Rocks.
LONDON, Feb. 2.-There now seems 10 be
more than probability that the North
German Lloyd steamer Elder, which ran on the
rocks at Atherield, Isle of Wight, at about 10
O'Clock on Sunday night will become a total
loss. 1t was hoped last night
that the government and other tugs
would be able to pull the Elder off at mid
night, but all attempts i'll that direction have
failed. Throughout the night high wind pre-
vailed, raising heavy sea, which caused high
breakers to sweep almost continuously over
the Elder. The result is that her posi-
ton changed decidedly for the worse. Her
bow has risen out of the water and her stern
has sunk lower beneath the breaking waves,
which deluge her at short intervals The
steamships propeller during the night was
carried away.
WATER GAINING IN THE HOLD.
This morning Capt. Heinecke signaled that
the size Of the leak in the Elders bottom had
increased and that the water was gaining
rapidly upon the crew in spite of the ceaseIess
efforts to keep it down.
As the tide began to rise this morning the
hopes Of those who std believed that the Elder
could be t0ated began to sink to the lowest
ebb. for the water steadily rose until it
Tie Ucck- Ill ADDITION
the fresh breeze referred to in an
earlier portion of these dispatches. which
sprung up this morning. gradually freshened as
anticipated. into gale Of wind. which again
caused heavy seas to sweep over the Elder.
At haif-past O'Clock this morning two Off
GERS and eight fremen, having with them a
case OF gold, were landed from the Elder
by life boat At noon n report was
received at Lloyds stating that the Elder
was settling and that there was
little hope Of floating her. The dispatch
added that the sea rough and that the
wind WAS from the westward. With the excep-
ton OF the gold above mentioned none of the
bullion or specie aboard the steamer has been
landed.
A few bags Of the mail from the Elder and
227 Of her passengers have arrived at South
ampton. They were driven from Atherfield
across the Isle Of Wight to Cowes, where they
took a steamer to Southampton. Here the pas
sengers destined for Bremen will be transferred
to the North German Lloyd steamer Hsvel,
which sailed from New York January 26 and
which is expected to arrive at Southampton this
afternoon.

distance to the west the lead shows a depth Of
