A Line Attached by which Food Can
be Furnished-Life Boat Reaches
the Vessel.

Faraman, Bouohes-du-R hone, Jan. 10.
Dawn found the situation Of the
stranded steamer Russle unchanged
The wind blew with terrific Violence all
night, but the rain has ceased on the
bridge and forecastle Of the steamer
some OF the crew and passengers can be
plainly seen. The first signal this
morning said: Hasten or we die OF
hunger"
A few minutes later the following

will try to launch with sail"
THE STRANDED VESSEL.
Marseiles, Jan. 1O,--A message from
Faraman at o'clock this morning says
that in spite Of the heavy sea still rum
ming a lfe-boat succeeded In reaching
the French steamer Russie at a. m.
and attached line to her by which
food can be furnished TO the passengers
and the crew, who had all been cooped
up in the forecastlo since Monday even
ing, when the vessel stranded, and were
furnishing.
There are sanguine hopes that the
rescue Of the endangered persons IS pos
sibe now that communications with the
Russie is established.
The attachment OF the line was due to
heroic efforts Of twenty fishermen who
attempted what appeared 10 be fool
hardy tOsk. Their Hat bottomed craft
was tossed about Ike straw on the
waves. The spectators watched II with
bated breath. Several times they
thought the small craft was lost, but 1t
finally got into a current, which carried
the boat 10 the starboard side Of the
Russie's bow A line was then thrown
on board the wreck
The captain Of the Russie, standing
on the bridge. shouted:
I'VE have not lost heart, and have
confidence In you, but be quick
A moment later, amid great excite
ment among the spectators ashore, the
line was seen to part The fisherman
made another effort and again got the
line on board the stranded vessel. They
then returned 10 the beach, where hum
drels of willing hands pulled their boat
high and dry. while thrilling scene OF
enthusiasm ensued. The fishermen were
carried IN the arms Of the people out OF
reach OF the waves.
Later the line again parted, causing
much anxiety, as the sea was becoming
rougher Then. the same fishermen
made another attempt TO reach the Rus
sic i'm their HAT b0ttomed boat on their
first attempt they were capslzed into
the surf and the men were thrown back
on the strand They made a fresh ef-
fort with a few newcomers aiding and
the same boats crew again succeeded in
getting a line on board the Russie. This
time It's security was enhanced by the
line being attached to several RATS be-
tween the wreck and the shore.
