From shipwrecscd Mariners Doomed co
Watery Graves; .For Gods Sake Come
and Save UsI'-Eieven Unfortunate Men
Seen to Drop One by One from the Rig
ging of Their Snip Into the Sea-Lifc-
Savers Bafied.
PATCHoGUE, L. L., Feb. f0.-An I'M
last man had been rescued from the
Manning. The ~life-saying crew with
their apparatus, were then on board
the Manning. Ii required " hours
of hard work to attach a life line to
the unknown wreck, but its crew was
powerless to avail themselves of the
5uccor.
Three of the men died while hang
ing in the air and their bodies were
dashed against the side of the vessel.
Several others were washed over
board, but how many is not definitely
known. Two men are in the rigging
still alive. Cries of For Gods sake
ave u.s. are heard coming from the
unfortunate men, but the surf is SO
high that it is impossible to launch a
boat
At : o'clock a Merritt wrecking tug
arrived. She will have to wait for
high tide to reach the wreck. The
Manning is high and dry on the beach.
Fell Into the Sea. One by One, and Per-
ished-
PATCHoGUE, L. l., Feb lot is
stated that nine of the crew of the I'M
known schooner ashore off Lone Hill
life-saving station have persisted
Through a field glass some persons
claimed to have seen eleven men in the
rigging shortly after she struck, but
one by one they fell into the sea from
cold and exhaustion until but two re-
manned.
The vessel struck in the outer bay
off Lone Hill life-saving station. The
~life-saving crew, as soon as they dis
covered the vessels plight, made prep
arations for a rescue. Their life-sav-
ing apparatus was brought to the
beach and a line shot over the vessel,
but the unfortunate men who had
sought refuge in the rigging were I'M
able to get to it, probably because they
were benumbed and thoroughly ex-
hauSted.
The life-savers then attempted to.
launch their boat, but the high sea
and wind made i. impossible for them
to do so, and they were compelled to
stand Idly by and see the poor sailors.
perish, for an hour later the crew COM
menced to drop into the water. This
morning but two of their number ne
manned.
The schooner Manning, the crew of
which was taken off in safety, and
which went ashore near where the
other vessel struck, is in the outer bay
and has all her sails set. Her rigging
and hull is a old mass of ice. The
Manning is coal-laden, and was dis
covered Off the Long Island shore Sat
urday noon. She stood off and along
the beach for several hours with dis
tress signals set. She was commanded
by Capt. John Manning, and is OF l, 100
tons burden.

STEAMERS ARRIVING
With Stories of Perilous Times to Them
selves or Others En- Route.

QUARANTINE, s.. L., Feb. 1.-THE
Red Star liner Rhineland, which has
been several days overdue, arrived yes
terday morning. She was a a of
ice on the starboard side, which
reached as high as the lower mast
head. All the standing rigging and
the running gear on the foremost
was encrusted with ice formed by
freezing spray until ropes an inch
thick were at least ten inches in di-
ameter, and it was almost impossible
to see forward from the bridge. The
steamer was so weighted down with
ice that she was listed to starboard at
an angle of nearly As degrees. The
steamer heeled down so far as to make
it a matter of considerable difficulty to
walk along her decks, even with the
assistance of life lines.
Capt. Mills told the United Press
representative at quarantine that if
the moderate weather had continued
he would have reached this port on
Wednesday night, but the bowling
hurricane which struck her last Mon
day upset all calculations for a good
passage. From 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning. till noon of Wednesday the
ship was hove to.
The M~anitoba's captain, Griffith, had
almost exactly the same experience as
the Rhineland. but did not suffer so
much from the ice. She is a very large
high-side vessel and the spray did not
reach her decks. The lowest tempera-
ture she experienced was on the sth,
when the thermometer went down to
10 deg. above zero.
The Cunarder Umbria arrived yes
terday morning. Her voyage was I'M
eyentful, as far as the weather was
concerned. An incident of the voy-
age,h however, and which many of
the passengers witnessed, was the res
cue of the crew of a waterlogged
French bark, which proved to. be the
Jean Baptiste, of Havre, with a
for Clark. The bark vas water
logged, and the crew made signals
that they wished to be taken off.
Capt. Dutton ordered a boat lowered
which took off feur of the crew, and
ten others came alongside in two boats
belonging to the bark. They had
been helpless for several days at the
mercy of the weather, and had kept
distress signals flying during the day
and fare lights burning at night in
the hope of attracting passing vessels.
Capt. Libot, of the bark. said that
his men saved none of their effects.
They speak no English and will be
cared for by the French consul.

LONDON, Feb. "a Shanghai dis
patch to the Central News says:
The Shanghai Mercury publishes a
special dispatch which says that on the
night of February 4 the Japanese
cleared the torpedoes from the entrance
to Wei-Hai-Wei harbor, aud their tor
pedo boats made a dash for the Chinese
warship Ting-Yuen, which they sue
ceeded in sinking. The next night the
torpedo boats made another rush and
sunk the Wei-Yuen, Li-Yuen and Pao-
Hun.
There was great excitement in Che
Foo upon learning that the forts on
the island of Liu Kung Tao had been
taken. Che-Foo is in no danger as
yet, but the place has been given a re-
minder of what may happen. When
the Japanese fleet passed the city they
fired 4 few shots at the forts, appar-
emily with the object of showing what
they could do. The Japanese forces
are advancing towards Che-Foo.
kilograms from Che-Foo say that
Admiral Ting, through whose efforts
the ships We're saved. has arrived there.
A dispatch to the Lloyds from
Shanghai confirms the report that the
Japanese nave taken Liu-kung-Tao

was referred. will call the committee
together at 10 a. IN Saturday to con-
