RESCUED By THE AMANA.
suffsrings Of the Ellerslies' Crew. Forced to
Abandon Their Ship
(By the Associated Press.

Boston, Oct. 3.-The British steamer
Amana, Captain Carr, from samarang,
Java, via ST. Michaels, arrived this after
noon. having on board the captain and
thirteen of the crew of the Liverpool ship
Ellerslie, which was abandoned at sea,
dismasted and water logged. The steamer
RESCUED the men on September 29th, after
they had been buffeted about by fearful
seas for ten days. The master of the
Ellerslie is Captain Llewellyn Cook. One
member of the crew was lost overheard
on September 18th.
The Ellerslie sailed from Pascagoula,
Miss, on August 18th, for Liverpool. She
was a three masted wooden ship Of 1,346
tons.
Captain Cook stated that the Ellerslie
sailed August 18th with nearly million
feet of pine lumber for Liverpool and
had light winds until September Sd, after
which succession of gales was encount-
cred, developing on the 18th into per-
feet hurricane During the next few days
the wind blew at the rate of eighty miles
an hour at times, the vessel rolling and
pitching in a terrible manner. The men
were forced to the forecastle head to
prevent being carried overheard. The
sufferings of the men became intense
through lack of fresh water. the supply
having become exhausted. After the
masts went by the board the vessel was
relieved somewhat. and the gale mod
Grated soon afterwards. The crew set to
work clearing away the mass of wreck
age from the deck in order to secure
donkey boiler with which to condense the
salt water. About eight gallons of sea
water were thus condensed, and the crew
were given small drinks diluted with lime
Juice.
During all these days the vessel was be-
ing made the toy of the waves, the crew
endeavoring by means of signals to at
tract the attention of passing vessels.
Three or four steamers passed within
sight of the shipwrecked men, but APP
parently did not see their signals of dis
tress, or, at least, they paid no attention
to them. Finally, on the Goth, at 2 p. M,
Captain Cook saw faint streak of smoke
far away to the eastward, and all hands
eagerly watched the volume grow in size
until faint outline of steamer was
finally made out on the horizon. The
stump of the mainmast was now utilized
for distress flags and not only the Brit
ish jack but bunch of the international
code signals was nailed to it to attract
the attention of the oncoming steamer.
The latter proved to be the Amana, Java
for Boston, and was soon within haiIing
distance. The steamers boats were
speedily lowered, and after several in
effectual efforts were made to get the
men off the wreck from the side of their
vessel, the boats were pulled under the
jibboom, and by means of lines the men
were lowered from this part of the wreck
and taken on board the steamer. The
Ellerslie was then set on fire.

(By the Associated .Press.)

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-There were no

ture was the Reading Companys notice
to it's employees that in addition to its Of
fer of 10 per cent increase. it was will
ing to enter into arbitration with them
relative to any grievances they may have.
None of the strikers, however, have
Indicated their intention to return to
work.
that President Mitchell, of ohIkfrnunun
rumor gained wide circulation today
that President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, had in conference with the
presidents of the coal carrying railroads
agreed upon a settlement of the strike.
When informed of the rumor Mr.. Mitchell
promptly denied it and said he had not
been in conference with either railroad
officials or the coal operators.
A secret conference of the leading Of
ficials of the miners organization was
held at Hazleton. 1t it's conclusion Pres
ident Mitchell said the question of calling
O Joint convention had not been consid-
cred He added that out of 142, 900 mine
workers, only about five thousand are
at work and these, he said would be out
in a short time.
The time limit of the Lackawanna Com
panys offer of increased wages will ex-
pire tomorrow but strikers express their
determination to pay no heed to the Of
fer.
