Sc She Breaks ID.

NEW YORK, Jan. l3.-One hundred
miles out OF her reckoning, the Eng
lish tramp steamship Indus, with q
crew ri twenty-five. drove on the bar
within I hundred yards OF Fire island
lighthouse in 4 heavy fog at dawn.
Dimly seen In the dense fog that
hangs over the long swells, the Indus
lies half Il mile OF shore hard aground.
She was bound from Havana to New
York with ii cargo Of sugar when her
commander. Captain kydd, lost his
hearings in the thick weather ana ran
her aground.
When she struck. rockets were sent
up signaling for life savers. and the
Fire island crew put out In n heavy
rain at = O'Clock. There was little
wind to kick up the sea on the wide
shoals. and the steamship vas board
ed. Captain kydd and his crew felt
certain that they were in no danger
while the present weather lasted. His
only reason for signaling. he explained,
was 10 send kilograms 10 Il wrecking
company for tugs 10 tow the Indus
clear. Captain BlXsbee of the life say
ing crew sent a message 10 the Merritt
Chapman Wrccking company. and the
tug r. J. Merritt reached Fire island
promptly. but seamen acquainted with
the fate OF vessels striking these
shoals are not hopeful of getting the
Indus on.
Nevertheless. she is only n mile from
the wreckage Of the British tramp
Drumelzier, which yer aground on
Christmas night under similar clrcum-
stances and now lies broken into three
pieces. All about the shoals are the
graves Of ships. ana the schooner
! Frank W. McCulloch. which stranded
Oh Dee. %. is breaking up half a mile
from the DrumelEier.
The life saver in their visit to the
Indus called the attention of Captain
Kydd 10 his danger and told him of
the evil reputation Of the shoals. AS
the result of their advice he set his
crew at work throwing overheard part
OF Ills cargo of sugar. He hopes that
by tightening her before the weight
Of the cargo and the action Of the long
"shoal swell has driven her into the
sand there will be a good chance to
get her of.
The life savers are watching her
closely, for II II storm comes up she
may break up quickly. as did the
Drumelzier.
The revenue cutter Mohawk is stand
