FROZEN IN THE RIGGING
Sailor Loses Life III Wreck Of the

Norfolk, Va. (Special) The three.
masted schooner Montana. Captain
Booye, from New York, for Charleston
S. G., with cargo of either salt or coal
stranded at II o'clock 2. NJ. at Pea Is,
land On. c. Life-Saving Station, SC
miles north of Cape Hatteras, during d
heavy northern gale.
Within 20 minutes after the vessc
stranded she was full of water and
awaSh, so that the crew, consisting OF
Captain Booye and six men, were forced
to take TO the rigging, where they re-
manned until O'Clock P. NJ, when six
of the seven men were rescued by crews
of Pea Island, New Inlet and Bodies Is
land Life Saving Stations.
One man, Henry Edwards, was frozen
to death and was lashed in the rigging
in such a manner that he could not be
reached. His body is still aboard The
ship, hanging in the rigging, head down
ward. One other member of the crew
was almost frozen 10 death by exposure
and exhaustion when he was rescued by
the members of the lfe-saving crews
but probably will recover, although his
condition is serious The rescued crew
are now at the Pea Island Life Saving
Station.
Great difficulty was experienced in
landing the crew, owing to the fact that
the vessel had sunk and a heavy sea
was running at the time The freezing
weather hampered the work of rescue
and the Scamen were so overcome by eX-
posurc and exhaustion that only two oI
those in the rigging were able 10 assist
In hauling the whip line aboard the vcs-
sci.
Again and again the line was shot out
the ship in the brooches buoy, after 4
narrowing experience of more than IC
hours spent in the rigging of the sinking
vessel in a temperature much below
freezing. Their clothing was coated
with thick layers of ice.
An attempt will be made later ia
bring ashore the body of Henry Ed
wards.
The vessel will probably be a total
loss. 1t is understood that the Montana
Is owned in Summers Point, N. J.

Line After Line Swept Away.

Headquarters of the Japanese Third
Army Before Port Arthur, November
20 (via Tientsin, December o).-Thc
general assault on Port Arthur which
began at noon November 26 is still in
progress. In the first series of assaults
an attempt was made to capture the
forts at Rihlung and Kellwan Noun
tains by penetrating the principal line
OF Notifications surrounding them, and
TO envelope the city from the east. AT
the same time strong force pushed
up the gorge Of Shiski Valley between
two fortified ridges and attacked the
supporting fort in the rear of West
Rihlung Mountain, officially called Sung
Shu Mountain, with the intention of en-
veloping the city from the west.
The attempt failed after the most flu
rious fighting that has been witnessed
since Port Arthur was invested. The
fighting lasted from noon OF November
70 until after dawn of the following day
without cessation.
The assault began in the early morn
ing with tremendous bombardment Of
the forts on the western half of the
eastern fortified ridge by battery which
had been placed in position on the crest
OF a ridge to the rear. For hours the
whole western half Of the fortified ridge
was delugcd with heavy shells. At
noon the principal line of Notifications
was perfect hell of bursting shrapnel:
and the spectacle was more wonderful
than anything previously seem.
The front lines of infantry. having
been strongly reinforced, began an at
tack simultaneously along the entire
line from East Kelwan Mountain to
West Rihlung Mountain
Through the haze caused by the smoke
Of the bursting shells the assauters
could be seen emerging from the cover
Of the parallels. as well as swarming up
the fortified ridge at half dozen diff
fercnt points.
