on shore could see hour by hour,
that their aid was of decreasing
value. One bv enc the men in the
rigging gave way to the exposure,
and when. at midnight the life say-

the men in the ropes had not tasted
food or drink. just spark of life
seemed to remain, and although the
two were able to drop from the rig
ging into the lifeboat they were al
most insensible.
One Of them presented terrible
appearance. His face, hands and
feet were frozen. He was unable to
speak for several hours. This was
Nelson. His legs were encased in u
pair of long boots, and the water in
them had frozen into solid cake.
Stevens had been more fortunate.
He had slipped his boots off and had
wrapped his feet in huge piece Ct

that the other survivor had been

SEVEN SAILORS FROZEN.
Two Are Rescued After C!inging Forty
Hours to the Rigging OF Their
Ship.

Fire Island. n Y, Feb. 10 Two
men who clung for forty hours to
the rigging of their vessel off Fire
Island beach were rescued at mid.
night by the crew Of the Lone Hill
life saving station The vessel prov
ed to be the schooner Louis V Place,
Captain Squires, cold laden, from
Baltimore on January 2S ard was
wrecked during the height Of the
gale. Nine men took to the rigging
when the vessel went down an eighth
of mile off the shore, and there
they clung in the raging blizzard
with the spray freezing as it dashed
over them, until one by one seven Of
them slipped into the sea or hung
lifeless, bound to the rigging by a
rope Two only were able to endure
the exposure. They were S. j. Nell
son, whose home IS in Providence,
| r. l., and William Stevens, a Ger
man, of Rockland Ne. The res
cued men are badly frostbltten,
and it is thought that Nelson will
lose both feet. The story Of their
rescue is a tribute to the brave life
savers who have for the past two
days been making almost superhu-
man efforts to reach the wrecked
schooner.
| 1t was on Tuesday last that the
Place ran into the gale and it was
found that she was leaking badly.
The coast of Long Island was then
dead ahead, and after careful pre-
parations the vessel was allowed to
drive straight at the beach. Half
