NEW YORK, January IA. 1s93.-Three of
the officers of the Norwegian steamer
KongsIfrode, lying at Pier 6, had narrow
escape from death by asphyxiation this
morning AS it is. there is considerable
doubt whether one of the men will
recover. Ali three men are at the
Chambers Street Hospital.
Huffman Lindeman, first mate; Oscar
Fohe, second mate. and John Soerken-
sen, assistant engineer. went to sleep in
the after-cabin after fixing the fire for the
night. The cabin is heated by an ordl-
nary cylinder stove. which stands at the
end OF the narrow passageway, between
officers slept. rhe pipe leading up
through the roof of the cabin has q
fuunel-shaped end to it. which has to be
turned when the wind shifts. 1t is al
ways necessary to see that the funnel IS
turned the right way or else the wind
will blow directly down the pipe and
cause such trouble as happened last
night.
At fifteen minutes past six o'clock this
morning the mess boy, Freddie Freunl,
went down into the after cabin to cali the
first mate. He found the passage way
full of gas. He got no response to his
knock at the stateroom door aud. finding
il unlocked. pushed 1t open. He
found the three men unconscious. He
ran to Captain Karl Peterson and notified
him. After working for ten minutes
without avail to bring the men to con-
seriousness, the captain summoned an
ambulance, and they were taken to the
ospitai.

SHIPS IN PERIL.
Clear Water in the Rivers, but
the Ice damned Into the
Lower Bay.

The first thing that the marine under
writer's in New York heard this morning
WAS of two more vessels In danger In the
Lower Bay.
A small steomsLip, outward bound. was
stuck between the Romer Shoal and
the East Bank. some time dur
nent danger OF being crushed by the big
ice fields that still held possession. A
sudden shifting of the ice would
result from any marked increase
of the wind. which was blowing
from the southwest. Much relief was
felt all round when a despatch Was
received Mt the Maritime Exchange. dated
$40 A. NJ. which announced that the
craft had got free and proceeded to sea
apparently unchanged.
A three masted vessel, apparently a
barge, was early reported on the rocks,
broadside on, at Romer beacon. The early
morning WAS too hazy for the observer TO
her pane. She was big vessel,
ard her situation was critical in
the extreme. There are great ice
fields out toward Sandy Hook, all

the prevailing wind is likely to loosen the
field and cause trouble. A ireshening
wind from either direction would. it was
said, bring the stranded vessel in i'm

The ice played havoc with the electric
buoys. Not one of them Is left in Gedney
Channel. They have all been run under
by Tie ice.
The ice was running at lively rate in
the East River this morning, but all
the ferries reported early that
they had experienced no trouble.
The cakes were small and
breaking up more aud mora all the time,

much affected by the wind.
On the North River the icewaS all on the
New York shore. 1t extended some dis

thoroughly churued up that no trouble
was experienced in making the slips at
this side.
For the first time in years Newark
Bay is frozcn over. The ice is over foot
thick, and many persons cross it from
Greenville to Newark daily. From the
Hackensack to the Kills the Bay is frozen

The New York Bay at Greenville and
Caven Point is filed with drift ice, which
has packed so closely that. und er the con-

WHY THE WATER is Low.

The consumption Of water during the past
week has been something enormous. According
to Chief Engineer Ruggles two millions six
hundred thousand gallons in excess OF the great
est amount pumped in one day during the past
summer, has been pu mped TO High Service
daily. Notwithstanding the great increase in
supply the water in the re servoirs at High Ser
vice has gradually lowered. The great drain
upon the reservoirs is due to the fact that people
in ali parts of the city, and in many cases
manufacturers, have let water flow from their
faucets day and night to prevent them from
