THREE MORE WRECKS.
Ard the Crews OF Each Vessel Have Yer,
Narrow Escapes.

New York, Dec. 31.-During the gale
this morning coal laden coaster bound
east was blown ashore on Hogs Back
rock, south of Wards island, near He'll
Gate. There was strong fiJod tide and
the crew had difficulty in getting ashore
in small boat. The vessel is loaded with
about 900 tons of coal, and may prove a
total loss.
Schooner Emma Jane from Connecticut
loaded with coal, sunk at Rockaway beach,
early this morning, during the storm. Her
crew had narrow escape.
Schooner Durgill of New York, coal
laden, was wrecked in Jamaica Bay, dur

AT RISK OF LIVES.
Muskeget Lie Savers Face Gale to Aid 4
Sinking Schooner.

Nantucket Mass, Dec 3l.-The Mus
l,eget life saving crew pulled across from
Tuckernuck island in the teeth of the
gale this afternoon, and reported that a
large three masted schooner was anchored
between TuchcruEck shoal and Cross Rip,
flying n signal of distrs SIS. and probably
sinking.
The schooner was sighted at daybreak,
this morning, and rs there was no tele-
phone communication and II terrific sea
prevented the life boat going outside.
nothing could be done,
About H. the vessel hoisted Il signal Of
distress and at l, this afternoon, no as
sistance having come, the crew could he
seen lashlng spar in the rigging where
on they could cling if the vessel foundered
This reused the Muskeget crew to ex
trcme effort and at the risk of their lives
they crossed To Nantucket, where word
was telegraphed to the various wrecking
companies and ii is hoped that tugs are ON
the way to the crew 5 assistance.
At sunset the wind continues blowing Il
northwest gale, and heavy sea is run
ming.
But little can be definitely said tonight,
as to the fate of the schooner. The vess,l
is only visible from Tnckernuek island,
and communication with that place in
such n gale as this, is as impossible as
with the north pole.
Never WAS the need of n cable to the
Muskcget life saving station felt more
than tonight. The gallant crew of that
station cannot get back to their island till
the gale subsidies or shifts. 1t is thought,
tonight, that the vessel is still ailoat and
the crew in no danger, elsr they would
have cut adrift, today, and come ashore
OH Great point. As soon as the weather
moderates tugs will start for her from the
Vineyard.

fortunate Armenian bound and thrust
into cesspool in the yard of the prison.
The ordinary procedure of the Turkish
officials is to leave the victim until he
sinks and is suffocated or else makes

that he has been tortured.
Another method OF torture is to sever

known to so mad under this frightful
torture.
This form Of torture is one OF the
7ost prominent in the whole list. and
is probably used oftener than any Of the
others: 1t consists OF lasshing the bare
sales OF the feet Of the prisoner. who
has been previously fastened to the
ground. so that he cannot move Il
muscle. The whip is laid On until the
llesh is cut and bleeding and the victim
seldom goes through the ordeal without
losing consciousness.
The alleged father of the present sui
tan was put to death by this method:
y large N-shared wedge with sharpencd
edge is raised ten feet from the ground.
The victim is held suspended in the air,
straddlnG the wedge. Huge weights
are tied on each foot and at the word
of command the rope holding him is
cut. The weights Pull him down and he
is split in two halves.
