ALL HANDS RESCUED.
Grew Of the Steamer William Law
renee Landed at Savannah.
THEIR TERRIBLE sUFFERINGs.

-Four OF the Men VIII Lose Feet and
severaI May Lose Their Ears-were
without Food or Drink For Over
Forty-eight Hours.
Der Of the crew of the wrecked steam
ship William Lawrence was saved, but
only after the greater number of them
had suffered terrible hardships. The
tugs Cambria and Cynthia came in last
evening from the Sea islands of South
Carolina, bringing with them Captain
A. L. Willis and 13 men, constituting
those who have been missing since
Sunday morning, when the ship was
abandoned in the breakers off PORT
Royal bar. With Captain Willis were
First officer l.. E. HOOPER, First AS
sistant Engineer Horace Hopper, Quar-
termaster A. Bergerson and Seamen
Paul Quantz. William Hauntz, Michael
Hayes, Thomas Bolin, Jake Vawdry,
Frank White, Jean Baptist. Charles E.
Baldorf and Frank Fuller, and Lewis
L~eecshouwer, a stowaway from Balti-
more.
Captain Willis and his men suffered
but little less than the crew of Mate
Beale's boat. They left the ship at 8
o'clock on Sunday morning. After IL
hours at sea in a binding, freezing
gale. the two boats made land on
Capers Island, a desolate and bare lit
tie sand spot. In Bleaching both of the
boats were smashed and the men were
thrown into the surf. Though almost
exhausted and numb, they managed to
scramble beyond the reach of the
waves. What little drinking water they
had. was lost, together with the bis
cults. There was no fresh water and
extremely little fuel on the island, and
no shelter. The CAPTAIN had a few
matches in a metallic box in his pocket.
They were found to be dry. Tearing
the seats out of the wrecked boats q
fire was made under the lee of a sand
dune. The boats were of iron, or they
also would have been burned. This
saved the men from freezing to death.
The men novered over the blaze dur
ing the sleet and snow storm Of Sunday
night and Monday, when the mercury
was marking s to 10 above zero. On
Tuesday morning one Of he boats was
patched UP and both crews got into it
to reach Port Royal. They had been
without food since leaving the Law
renee early Sunday morning and with
out water since Sunday afternoon. At
ter painful efforts they reached Hunt
ing Island. Some soldiers who were
stationed there took them in and fed
and warmed them. Yesterday the cast
Always We're about to set out for Port
Royal in their patched boat, when the
Cambria found them.
Captain Willis says that at the time
the ship struck the weather was so
thick that he could not see half the
length of the ship. He says also that
something was wrong with his compass,
n that the ship was somewhat out
of her course. Captain Willis has been
in the service of the company for 20
years.
At the hospital it was learned that
Chief Engineer Roach would lose one
foot and all of the toes of the other:
that Steward Bingle would lose both
feet, and that two eamen would lose
n foot each. Several of the men may
lose one or both ears.
