NEW YORK. Feb. S--Caught in the ice
foes in the bay of Port Washington, L. L,
a naphtha launch containing four men has
been imprisoned since Wednesday after
noon. and all efforts at rescue have proved
futile
The shifting masses OF ice prohibit the
passage OF boats and make foolhaTdy any
effort to succor the imperiled beat on foot
The launch was caught far out in the bay,
and only by the aid of glasses can its
movements and those of its occupants be
seen. It is believed at Port Washington
that the launch is owned by James H.
Starin, of the Starin Steamboat Company.
The four men were made out yesterday
with glasses signaling for help and appa-
rentIy shouting TO fishermen on shore, but
the shouting Gould not be heard
Fishermen living along the shore say
the naphtha launch left Glen Island on
Wednesday morning bound fer Locust
Grove, which is on the snOre Of Cow Bay
Ice floats filed the bay and the progress
Of the boat was watched with considera-
bic anxiety.
Slowly 1t forged its way through the
foes until far out il the bay, when it was

Once caught in the ice foe every effort
was made to retreat, but it was too late.
Every minute increased the danger as the
masses of ice henined in the craft.
Soon the foe hemmed the launch in like
wall. and it could not be moved n any
direction. Then it was that the four men
aboard sisnale for help. Fishermen quick
y congregated along the shore and pro-
posed plans for rescue, but experienced
sailors knew the tTeacherOUs nature of the
ice and foes and also knew that the
launch was doomed SO far as its own Ct
forts to escape were concerned.
Il was quickly decided that Tire launch
could not be reached On foot, as the ice
was not firm enough Neither could they
pillow their way through the foes with the
boats on shore.
Word was sent TO Glen Island for a tug
to attempt the rescue. The wind was
blowing hard throughout the day and car
rying the ice foe with the imprisoned
launch further out in the bay
The launch lies in such position that
its name cannot be made out AS il start
ed on a short trip seamen at Port Wash
ingtOn say that the party has no proyis-
Ions on board Il is also believed that
only a small supply of fuel was carried,
and that would be soon exhausted.
The cold is intense ont on the bay. and
without provisions or fuel fears are IN
te-taiued that the men may be dead when
reached.
Ice foes drifted into Cow Bay yesterday
from the Sound, and the fishermen who
were bent on rescUing the launch founI it

CURRENT COMMENT.

The decision rendered by the Schley
Court of Inquiry has resulted in a
bitter disappointment for a large
majority of the people Of the United
States, The selection of Admiral
Dewey as president Of he Court lead
the people to believe that Admiral
Schley would receive the fairest
treatment and that verdict which
would practically exonerate him
would be rendered. Some of the
more conservative pointed out that
on merely technical grounds the
Court might be obliged to find that
the Admiral had been negligent of
certain duties and no one believed
that ADMIRAL Dewey would finch
from eriticising his brother officer il
he found grounds for so doing. As
it is, the people have, from the mi
nority report submitted by Admiral
Dewey, grounds for believing that
even from a technical standpoint
there was nothing reprehensible in
the Admiral's conduct and. at the
same time, they have the opinion of
the majority of the Court that he
was guilty on every count of the
"preeept. Needless to say the
friends of the Admiral feel that the
Navy department knew what it was
doing when it selected the officers
who sat with Admiral Schley and
that fair trial has not yet been
had.
