The Indus, Sugar Laden from
Havana to New York, Stuck
Hard and Fast
LIFE SAVERS TO THE RESCUE.
When First Signals of Distress We're
Seen, Was Thought They We're from
Some Big Liner.

New York, Jan. ~. While feeling her
way through tho dense fog today in an
effort to reach this port, the sugar.
laden steamer indus from Havana for
New York, struck Fire Island bar and
is now stuck hard and fast The Fire
Island life savers said the vessel was
lying I'm an easy position and the sea
was smooth, There was a dense fog
hanging over the ocean however, and
the wind showed a tendency to tn
crease In force. A strong wind and high
sea would make the situation extremely
serious.
Efforts TO float the Indus were begun
Immediately afle, sac struck the bar,
and as soon as communication with tho
shore was had the captain Of the stcam-
er asked that tugs be sent to his as
slstancc.
1t is thought that the Indus has
not suffered any serious damage thus
far and that she would have no diff
Guilty In proceeding II she could be
worked into deep water.
When the observers at the marine
station at Fire Island first saw the sig
nails Of distress II was thought that one
OF the big transatlantic passenger
steamers might have lost her bearings
IN the dense fog and brought mp on the
bar. The weather was so thick as to
render Identification impossible at that
time, however, and It was not until the
life saving crew returned To shore that
the true Identity Of the craft was
known.
Tho Indus has no passengers. She Is
n tramp steamer owned by James
NOurse, limited. of London.
a wrecking tug was started for the
scene Immediately after the news Of the
Indus predicament reached this city.
Tho Indus Is a new vessel, having
been built I'm Glasgow only a year ago.
She Is $50 feet in length, Of 200 tons
burden and carries crew Of % men.
Her commander Capt, Kydd, was maxi
ing his FIRST trip IN the Indus when
she went aground.

New York, Jan u. Throughout the

at the doors Of the State bank on Grand

on that bank was resumed today. For
