BIG SHIP WRECKED.
Steamer Northeastern Went on Shoals
During Recent Storm and Is
Total Loss.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 31.-After being
imprisoned on the wrecked oil steamer
Northeastern nine miles off Cape Hat
teras for thirty-six hours Captain
Wilder and and his crew of twenty
one men were taken ashore by the
crews of the kinnakee Creed's Hill
and Hatteras life saving stations.
The big steamer is pounding Dia-
mond shoals under a terrific sea and
the crew say she will be a total loss.
In d bewildering fog Tuesday night
the Northeastern on her way up the
coast from Port Arthur, Tex, to New
York, with a cargo of crude petro
leum, showed her PROV into the deadly
sands off Hatteras and was fast in the
clutches of the graveyard of shipping
before her crew realized what had
happened.
This was at II o'clock and before day
had come the gale that swept over the
country from the middle west had
struck the sea and waves We're crashing
over the helpless vessel necessarily.
The force of the wind and tide threw
her on her port beam and the flood of
water eXtinguished her fires before her
intlammable cargo could become iy.
nited. Had this not been the case the
twenty-five men aboard the Northeast.
/ ern would have met a horrible fate.
| When morning dawned the wreck was
/ sighted by life savers and the weather
/ observatory at HHtteraS. She was nine
/ miles off shore and the water between
/ was Il seething mass of mountainous
| waves. The crews of the CreedS Hill
/ and kinnakeet life saving stations We're
summoned, and the life savers began
( their attempts to get d surf boat
/ through the heavy seas.
After a three hours struggle, at
| O'Clock three life boats We're safely across
the breakers and battling with the outside
seas on their way TO the steamer. Whci
the surflncn reached the wreck they Wcr,
| confronted with a problem of great danger
and difficulty. The sea, while it had sub
sided to some extent, was still III angry
mood and the little life boats were being
tossed like cookie shells about the helpless
mass of steel. Lines We're finally strunt
between the boats and the Northeastern
and after much trouble every man wa
taken from the vessel in safety.
over six hours We're consumed befor
the first of the boats reached shore again
The vessel, it is said, will be tota
loss.
The Northeastern is an ocean steamship
built of steel in Chicago in 1901, and i
owned by c. c. Counselman of Cincinnati

OFFER BAIL FOR NAN.
The Accused Woman Says Wheeling
w. Va, Men Will Sign Bond

New York, Dec. 31.-"Nan" Patterson
the ex-show girl who is in the tombs
prison charged With the murder of
Caesar Young. was in better spirits to-
day than at any time since the sec
ond jury which heard the testimony in
her case reported that they were un-
able to agree upon verdict. She be-
lieves, she says, that her freedom is
about to be granted. kilograms came
to her today from Wheeling, W. Va.
announcing that four men in that city
were preparing TO furnish bail for her
in any amount up to $4,000.
If the offers from Wheeling have
been made in good faith it is probable
that court will be asked within a few
days to fix the amount of bond. While
Miss Patterson would not reveal the
names of the Wheeling men who offer
to so upon her bond, dispatches from
that city say they are Charles w.
Swsher, secretary of ate-elect OF
Wheeling. and II. ]. Price, a merchant:
r. A. Deveney, IL lawyer, and Edward
| Slack, banker of Paramount.
Later. one of Miss Patterson's coun-
sci gave out what he said was tele-
gram sent her from Paramount, w
Va, dated December 2S. offering tc
! give bail for her release. The copy was
| as follows:
paramount, w. va. Dec. 70. l9u4.-

York city: We will furnish bail tc
the amount of $4,000 if necessarily
| A. Deveney. II. j. Price, Edward Slack
S. w. Swisher, secretary of state

Miss Patterson's counsel conferred
with the assistant district attorney, Mr.
| Rand, today. Afterwards it wa
learned that both sides desired della.
and it seems probable that Miss Pat
terson will not be put on trial agail
| for several months.

perate prisoners were at work. capt.
Murphy was acting as general over
seer about the rock crusher, and four
other prison attaches, l.. DAILY, NJ. Ho-
gan, Charles Taylor and Charles Jolley,
We're employed as ''pushers" to keep
the men at work. A large sledge ham
ner was thrown into the crusher-
causing the ponderous machine To
come to a standstil. This attracted
Capt. Murphy, Charles Jolley and Tay-
| Tor TO the place Thereupon the des-
peratc convicts rushed to seize Muir
ply, Joley and Taylor They succeed
| ed with the two first named. The 9TH
| ers endeavored to take the other free
men who escaped them. During this

though they soon had an intimaton
/ that something was wrong.
! The conVicts, with their captiveS,
made their way toward a small post

continue shooting and put his revolver

ing to the remaining convicts who We're
crouching behind rocks and in other
safe places to line up and march in.
They they did in quick order. The APP
