 Forty Hours In the Rigging.
 FIRE ISLAND. N Y, Feb. Ii Two men. who clung for 40 hours to the rig ging of their vessel off Firo Island beach were rescued by tho crew of tho Lone Hill life saving station The vessel proved to bo the schooner Louis Y. Place. Captain Squires, coal laden. from Baltimore to this port She left Baltimore on Jan. 2S and was wrecked during the height of the gale
 Nino men took to the rigging wkon the vessel went down an eighth of u mile off tho shore, and thoro they clung in the rag ing blizzard. with the spray freoling as it dashed over them, until ono by one seven of Ihom slipped into the sea or hung lifo- less bound to the rigging by a rope.
 Two only were able to endure the ter riblc exposure. I hey are S. T. Nelson. a Dane. whuso homo is in Providence, and William Stevens. d German of Rockland. Mo The rescued men arc badly frostbit- ten, and it is thought that Nelson will lose both feet.
 The story of their rescue is tribute to the brave life savers, who havo for the past two days been making almost super human efforts to reach the wrecked schoon- CT. It was on Tuesday last that tho Place ran into tho gallo. and it was found that she was leaking badly. All hands were ordered to the pumps, but on Thurs day the captain concluded that the attempt tu make port under such conditions as pre- vailed would he suicidal. Tho coast of Long Island was then dead ahead, and after careful preparations tho vessel was allowed to drive straight at the beach. Half an hour later she touched her nose on the outer bar. and a heavy wave lifted her high on the sand bar, As she settled on her side the waves broke furiously over her and chilled to the bone the men who had sought safety in the ropes
 The llfo savers Sont out life limos, but not before the seamcn were almost frozen to death and so stid Gs to be unable to get to them. Thoy tried countless times to launch their boat, but on each occasion the breakers drovo it back with renewed fury to the shore
 For two days each hour of thr day the same attempts were repeated while those on shore could sac, hour hy hour. that
 
 Ono by one tho men in the rigging gave way to the exposure, and then at mid night Saturday tho life savers. under com. mana of Captain Baker. pushed their boat into the surf and pulled like mad to the wreck There were but two lives remain ing of the nino
 During all that time tho men in the ropes had tasted neither food nor drink Just a spark of lifu scomul Io remain. and although the two weru able to drop from tho rigging into tho lifCboat they wero al most insonSihlo
