LIFE SAVERS FACE
PERILS TO AID CREW
Night Of Great Suffering on
Treacherous Sea.
SHIP BURNED TO WATERS EDGE
Crews of Five Life Saving Stations
Went to the Assistance of the Burn.
ing Vessel, but After Many PeriIs
Abandoned Attempt.

Delaware Breakwater, Del, Feb. II.
The tugs Somers N. Smith and Juno,
which left here last night to go to the
assistance Of a schooner on fire at sea,
returned at o'clock this morning and
reported that the vessel was a two
masted schooner. Both anchors were
down and the schooner was a solid
mass of fire. She was burned to the
waters edge and it was not possible
to learn her name. The burning yes.
sci was about 2 miles off Cape May.
She was apparently loaded with grain
or soft coal and was old.
After leaving the blazing ship the
two tugs cruised in the vicinity for
two hours searching for the crew, who
were believed to be af1oat in a small
boat, Although they sent up 12 rock
cts, their search was not successful
and both returned here The steam
pilot boat Hila continued the hunt un-
til daylight, but saw not a sign of the
missing crew.
The life savers from the stations
at Cape May, Cape May point and Two
Mile Beach, returned to their
homes today telling graphic stories of
their long and unavailing struggle
against the elements in their efforts
to lend assistance to the crew of the
burning ship.
The night was about the coolest of
the winter and the darkness was al
most impenetrable. In addition there
was wind enough to make the sea
chOppy, and therefore dangerous for
small craft. For several DAYS past
great quantities of ice has been float
ing out of Delaware bay and this is
packed along the shore and extend
ing several miles out to sea. The
burned schooner was first observed on
fire about 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon. At that time she appeared to
be imbedded in the drifting ice. The
three life saving crews from this vi
cinlty were joined by the crews from
two stations north of here and these
men battled for hours in a fruitless en-
deavor to penetrate the ice and get to
the perchance imperiled crew of the
ship. Their efforts were In vain. how
ever ,as they were unable to force
their frail boats through the packed
ice. Long after midnight the brave
men gave up their battle against the
elements and returned to shore. Their
suffering was intense. One of the surf
men from the city was found to be
badly frozen, and he was carried in an
almost unconscious condition from the
beach to the station, where medical
assistance was rendered. All during
the night the residents of this place
lined the beach and watched the burn
ing ship through marine glasses. When
the fire was at it's height the flames
leaped high into the air. Today smoke
is issuing from the hulk, which ap-
pears to be drifting in the ice. The
schooner, was first seen about miles
off Cape May Saturday night 1t is
believed she was then caught in the
ice, which finally started a leak and
led the captain to set fire to the ship
and abandon her.

Be Genuine

GrOtOn, Mass, Feb. 1-Encourag-
mg news came from the Groton school
infirmary, where the son of President
Roosevelt is i'll with pneumonia, early
today and brought a measure of relief
to the anxiety which had grown stead
lily during the preceding "a hours. Fol
lowing the announcement yesterday
morning that the disease had seized
upon both lungs of the patient the
news from the sickroom had not been
reassuring, and last night when the
presidents family doctor, summoned
from New York, had pronounced the
case serious and later when the voice
OF the lad could be heard outside of
the building as he lay in delirium the
anxiety over the situation increased.
At $50 this morning, however, came
the word that the crisis in the right
lung (the one in which it first devel-
oped) had been satisfactorily passed
and that the patient showed improve
ment, and every one about the institu-
ton, especially President Roosevelt
and the boys mother, became more
cheerful and hopeful.
At II o'clock Secretary CorteIvou
made the following statement: The
condition Of the boy since the favora-
bic announcement Of the morning has
remained unchanged, and the pleurisy
which has developed this morning has
proved to be very slight thus far"
While the change for the better. in
the opinion Of the doctors, cannot be
called decided one, it includes a
more favorable condition of both respi-
ration, pulse and temperature. The
left lung has successfully passed the
crisis. A symptom of pleurisy has
been noted in the right lung. While
this has given rise to some fear that
the disease may yet develop into pleu-
risypneumonia, there are strong
hopes that the threatened complica-
tion may be overcome.
The doctor said that the pleasant
weather has much to do toward bring
ing about the more satisfactory con-
dition.
Mrs. Roosevelt was at the infrmarv
all night. The president was there
until midnight and then he retired at
the home Of DR.. w. A. Gardner. At an
early hour this morning he left the
house to visit the patient and escort
his wife to breakfast.
The president remained in the mfr
mary but short time and when he re-
appeared Mrs, Roosevelt accompanied
him to the Gardner house, where
breakfast was had. 1t was scarcely an
hour before Mrs. Roosevelt returned
to her watch over her son.
The boy was restless the greater
part of the night, but finally fell into
restful sleep From this he awoke
this morning showing the efftcts of
rest.
