ship LOST OFF PORT ROYAL
Baltimore Steamer William Law
renee Probably a Total Wreck.
One Boatload ofCrew Ashore-Three Boats
Containing Remainder of Officers
and Crew Not Heard from and
May Have Gone Down.

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 13-The steamship
William Lawrence, of the Merchants and
Miners Line between Baltimore and Sa-
vannah, is d wreck and probably a total
loss off Port Royal, S. c. She left Balti-
more on Wednesday last with a full cargo.
but no passengers.
Saturday she ran into a severe storm off
the South Carolina coast. She became
disabled and in a helpless condition drift
ed ashore near the Port Royal bar. The
crew abandoned the ship in four boats.
One boat, containing A. j. MorrisselIa
Second Engineer, and John Cana way
John Donahue. William Seifort. Charles
Green, and Frank BOiden, seamen. made
Port Royal.
Three other boats containing Capt Will
lis, the first and second officers and other
engineers and members OF the crew, have
not been heard from. Whether they haye
been lost is in doubt. The wires to Port
Royal are down.
The Assistant Engineer reported TODAY
to the company's agent here, giving the
facts of the wreck. He has doubts of the
survival of the three missing boats as
the weather was severe. The names Of
the missing men cannot be ascertaInAd
here.
Morrissella and his companions suffered
terrible hardships from the cold in the
open boat, and were nearly exhausted
when they reached land. Agent Carolan
expresses the hope that the missing boats
made land, as the ship was near the shore
when abandoned and may not have re-
ported owing 10 the interruption OF the
telegraph by the storm. MorrisseIIa and
his companions will be brought to TINS city
tomorrow on a steamer.

Fittsburg, Pa, Feb. ia coal famine IS
threatened here. The total coal supply
now in the Allegheny and MonongaheIa
Rivers at Pittsburg does not exceed one

the railroad freights are not moving.
Coal has advanced from l-2 TO 10 cents

high as % cents. Hundreds of wagons
are waiting on the wharves to load, and
thousands of orders for fuel are being
received that cannot be filled. The situa-
tion is the mCst critical III years. There
ale millions of bushels of coal in barges
up the river, but there is no way 10 get
