o'clock. 1t wns a time OF receiving
members into the church. Rev.

for membership.
After prayer by Rev. W. r. Oliver.
Evangelist Oliver took John Z: II:
slf any man will do His will he shall
know Of the teaching whether it be
Of God or whether l speak OF myself"
1t was the second discourse from the
same text.
christianity is tho most common

cation to the matter OF yolr salvation
as you demand OF yourself in other
matters you will soon come to know

Mr.. Oliver said in part: aIt you

only partly on fire.

unconscious by the smoke and heat
DRIFTING OUT INTO THE STREAM
On approaching still nearer it was seen that
the ship was loose from the pier, and slowly
drifting out into the stream strong ebb tide
was running. AS the ship came out from the
pier her stern caught by the current and
the Prov was brought around against the blaz-
ing pier The ship swung off into the stream
with her PROV northward.
Three tugs now ran toward her and the first
TO reach her was the Eugene Grasselli. in charge
Of Captain James A. Fox. The other two tugs
the NJ Moran and the Dewitt c. WINS, both
owned by the Moran Wrecking Company AS
many as twenty men now flung themselves into
the water, and were rescled by the crews of
the tugboats
On the side OF the ship toward the wind hung
a coal holster. consisting of huge bucket at the
end of an iron chain. Eight stokers and firemen
were hanging to the steel links. and three men
were in the bucket. All were crying piteously
for help Only two of them could speak Eng
hsh, and kept yelling:
Throw line, for Gods sake-throw US a
line! We can't stand it! It's hell! We can't
stand it,"
Even he spoke tongues of flame shot out
from the portfolios in the after part of the ship
smaller tug now ran up under the cloud Of
smoke. and, throwing line to the chain of men,
hauled the great bucket on board The men
then Skinned down to the tug. Several were so
severely burned that they were put on another
tug and carried to the Jersey shore
In spite of the combined efforts Of five tugs
the whole fotilla was being carried by the cur
rent TO the New-York shore Captain Fox who
was in charge of the wrec1ng party, signalled
for further help. BY this time the saale and
her struggling rescuers were off Pier 1S this
city.
Other tugs now came up, among which were
the George P Cooper the Eli B. Conine the
Dispatch, the Cornelius Van Cott, the James D.

Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, now steamed up
to the Saale and poured several streams on
the fore part of the ship. The water had no
more apparent effect upon the blaze than
shower Of rice. 1t could be seen that the whole
interior Of the vessel was aflame AS the ferry
boat Montclair, Of the Hoboken Line, passed
the burning ship a heavy explosion was heard
which caused the ship to lurch heavily to port.
When the tngboat, with The Tribune
porter on board had reached that part of the
ship which was away from the wind, two
bodies were seen stretched out the lower
deck Near the prov man could be seen
squirrnng with his head and trying in vain
10 wrtggle out Of a port hole. The opening was
only a foot wide and the imprisoned sailor
was ot a stout build Occasionally. he put out
his head and yelled in German, ''wasser. wasser.
Ich sterbe!
A stream from one OF the tugs began TO play
on him First he would put out one arm for
the water then the other then each leg in turn
The fire was gathering closer about him, as
could be seen by the rudy light in the other
portfolios At last, after struggle OF nearly
half an hour, he sank back from the POi 'iiO1e
and was not seen again.
John Rapps, an assistant engineer. and deck
hand by the name Of Tells were picked up after
this from stick of wood to which they had
clung They said they had jumped into the
stream from the saaIe, but had foated away
down stream by different course
CHIEF AND SECOND OFFICERS ESCAPE
Chief officer scheffer and Second Officer zan-
den of the Saale both escaped uninjured by
leaping into the water. They were carried 10
the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and
from there to the saale by the tug Seven Broth
ers. On the way down each told his experience
70 Tribune reporter. Their interviews are given
elsewhere.

great Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, while below

ing all too plainly the devastating marks the
fire had left upon her Columns of smoke pour
ing out of her waist indicated where the fire still
held its own unchecked, and was eating out the
vitals of the ship.
Here, there and everywhere were flaming cot
ton barges, adding to the general desolation Of
the scene.
When the fire first broke out the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse was towed out of her dock and
brought to anchor in the stream. Then the
Saale broke loose from her moorings and
started a mass Of fire, for the New York shore.
A host Of tugs went in pursuit, but the wind
and tide with her. she held fatefully on. The
Saale grazed the pier of the Peoples Line and
then, the tugs at last gaining control she was
towed down to the Jersey flats, where she
burned herself out, a piteous spectacle.
THE BREMEN BREAKS LOOSE, TOO
Hardly the scare following the saaIe's
onslaught the New-York river frontage over
than the Bremen in her turn broke loose and
headed also for the New-YOrk shore. Again the
accompanying tugs failed to gain control of the
burning monster until she had all but attained
her object and crashed into the river front of
New-York This time it was the new pier that
for fhA oil
road that was threatened, and it escaped by the
narrowest Of squeezes. The tugs then took her
across the river. where she burned with un-
diminished herceness for over hour.
When the fire gradually brought under
control the tugs took her, a charred and
dismal looking wreck sunk by the stern. to a
point opposite Castle Point the home of the
Hoboken Stevenses.
AS the boats foated down the river men were
jumping in steady succession from the blazing
decks. These men were picked up by the ac-
companytng tugs, and landed at the nearest
available piers. Sometimes they pitifully
injured. and then the ambulance and the sur

women and certain members of the crew. The
davits were hardly swung out before the ropes
broke and the boat fell into the stream below
The force of the fall swamped the boat, but
two of the women were dragged up onto a
lighter and afterward taken ashore. One woman
sliding down to an adjacent lighter by
members Of the crew could not be found.

latter had been towed into midstream. A gang
of men from the wrecking rug L ]. Merritt were
aboard of her and were hauling through the
port holes additional lines of hose The ship
had listed heavily to port, and It was said that
she would soon go to the bottom The water
thrown upon her did not appear to have any
perceptible effect upon the flames whatever
The result apparent was in keeping the fire
from tapping out of the port holes. The iron
sides of the ship in many places. however were
at a red heat.
The steamship Main lay up against her pier
