TWENTY-FIVE LOST.
A British Bark Wrecked on the
Irish Coast.
EVERY SOUL ON BOARD DROWNED

A Number of Fishermen Witness tho
Grow, but Were Unable to Render Any
Assistance, Owing to the Heavy Surf
DUBLIN, Jan. 30.--A dispatch from
Tralee announces the wreck Of the British
bark Port Yarrock, Captain Forbes. and
che drowning of all the crew consisting
OF twenty-five men. The Port Yarrock
sailed from Santa Rosalia on July for
Queenstown and Antwerp and anchored
In Brandon bay, County Kerry, Ireland,
on Jan, 81 In a disabled condition.
She reported that her provisions had run
short on the passage, and that some of
her crew were sick from exposure and
lack Of sufficient nourishment.
The Port Yarrock dragged her anchors
during heavy gale and she finally
stranded at Koelcomin, Brandon bay. The
ship was driven ashore in bad part
of the coast, and when she first
bumped on the rocks she was given up for
lost as she was surrounded by heavy
surf and big seas were continually wash
ing over her A number of fishermen OF
the coast gathered on the shore and looked
on as the Port Yarrock beat to pieces, for
nothing could be done to save the crew,
az no boat which the fishermen had was
capable Of being launched, much less
getting alongside the stranded ship,
Those OF the crew who were not washed
overheard were seen climbing into the fore
rigging, where they had hardly sought
refuge when the foremast was also
carried away and all the unfortunate sail
ors, including Captain Forbes, were
thrown into the sea. Then followed the
last fight for life upon the part of tho
crew of the Port Yarrock. Some of the
unfortunate seamen had procured life
belts and Others had fastened themselves
to pieces OF wreekage, which, however,
only served to drown them all the quicker,
for they were rolled over and over by the
huge seas and drowned | ong before the
wreckage washed ashore.
ffA few of the men clung for time to
one of the life boats, though it was not
nearly filled with water, but one by one
they were washed away and drowned
within sight Of the onlookers ashore. Not
one of the unfortunate seamen reached
shore alive. One by one they disappeared
In the surf, and little by little the Port
Yarrock broke up until nothing remained
OF the ship or crow but a black mass of
wreckage away in the surface.
Later portions of the wreckaga washed
ashore and one or two of tho bodies of the
drowned seamen came ashore and were
tenderly cared for by the fishermen Of
Brandon bay and Its vicinity,

ity in weight between Willie Dare's father
and Sandow's three ponies is no more strik-
Ing than that in physique between Willie
Dare and Sandow.
DR.. James f. Kelly, when asked to ac-
count for the ease with which Willie Dare
had accomplished such difficult feat, said:
II saw Sandow perform that feat, and, like
most people, thought it his most remark
able exhibition of strength until consd-
cred the matter and discovered that the
forces involved were largely mechanical
and not muscular. The measure of the
feat is that of the resistance of the perform
ers bones to the superimposed crushing
weight. The legs and arms being in YER
ticai position, the weight is transmitted d-
rectly through the bones to the feet and
hands. The margin of the platform far
thest from the performers head is support
ed on the fixed and rigid legs and feet.
consequently no weight short of that
capable of crushing the sustaining bones
would be sufficient to destroy the support
afforded by a human being in such pos
ture. a man of medium strength could
perform similar feat
