OCEAN STEAMER IN PERIL.
MAY EVEN NOW BE SUNK BY
TREACHEROUS ROCKS.
Drifts Out of Sight i'm a Snowstorm
and Vessels Sent Out Cam
not Find Her.

HALIFAX On. s., Jan. 10-A report
received here late tonight states that
an unknown ocean steamship had been
sending up signals of distress off
Whitehead, 100 mile east of here. When
first observed darkness was coming on
and she was about seven miles distant,
showing a flag calling for assistance,
and seemed to be running in a westerly
course, keeping off shore. After dark
she discharged a number of rockets
Thick STOW squalls set in about {
o'clock and nothing more has been seen
of her except an occasional rocket
When the signals were first observed
the schooner Hannah H. Elbridge and
life boat and several small boats
started from the shore toward the
steamship. Up to 1870 the Elbrfdge
or boats had not returned.
An unccnfirmed report states that the
steamship belongs to the Furness Line.
The F'urness liner Damarari is eight
days overdue from Cardiff for this port
with a cargo of coal for the British
naval authorities.
The steamer State of Georgia, from
Darltzic, with a cargo of sugar. is also
due here.
]. H. Hugill, the Halifax manager of
the F'urness Line, thinks the ship in
distress is either the Damarari or State
of Georgia, unless it is some steamship
bound to United States port which
has got out of her course. Mr.. Hugill
is arranging for steamer to start for
the eastern shore as soon as possible.
The vessel is still reported signaling
for help, and is in dangerous posi-
ton, as hidden shoals and lodges ex-
tend for miles along the coast from
Whitehead.
AT 11:15 O'Clock tonight it was re-
ported from Whitehead that the life
boat and schooner Elbridge had re-
turned without finding the distressed
steamship, owing to the thick snow
storm, and had given up the search.
A second schooner which went out
returned with the same information.
The snow is falling heavily and the
wind blowing from the southwest
The keeper at Whitehead lighthouse
reports that the first signals he saw
were about $3.50 p. m, and they coulf
be seen until after dark, when rockets
were sent up at frequent intervals and
Continued until the snowstorm set in.
The steamer was schooner rugged and
had dark-colored tunnels.
