KnO1Cn Until March.

One Of the inspectors Of election for the New
York Life told a Tribune reporter yesterday that
the inspectors would not be able to announce the
actual results Of the election in this company be-
fore March 1, 1907 at the earliest. 1t IS expected
that the count Of the votes win begin this morning.
Jay E. Lawshe, chairman of the inspectors for
this company, in a statement issued early IN the
evening, said that the time necessary to finish the
count would depend on the number of simultaneous
units Of work and the number OF clerks available.
Mr. Lawshe said that the plan the inspectors
had adopted involved the distribution of the votes
geogrephically, according to the conpany's classt
fled lists of polcyholders. Through a series Of
classcations, he said the ballots then would fail
into groups subject to challenge and official tally.
AT a conference between counsel representing
the various administration and Opposition in
terests in the Mutual Life the international COM

A DOLLAR FOR A YARN
1t Tells the Tale of a Shp7crecked
CrezC, and Here 1t Is.

Eight shipwrecked seamen Of the schooner
P. 7. Barnum, who had drifted for eighteen
hours in a small boat off Cape Hatteras. came
up to the city yesterday from Communipaw.
~ j. where they were landed by the Standard
OH tugboat Astral The men separated when
they arrived IN Manhattan. and Frederick Pc
terson was the only one who cared to tell OF
his experience off Hatteras
I've got genuine story OF what we went
through" said Peterson. "and if you've got a
genuine dollar bill to exchange for the genuine
yarn you may have it,
He said the P. T. Barnum. which was a
three-masted schooner Of 631 tons. left Jack
sonville on December Is with lumber for New
York On December II a few miles to the
northeastward Of Hatteras she ran into a heavy
northeasterly gale and shipped lot Of water.
There was at least five feet OF water in the
hold by the 18th at D. m' said Peterson 'and
we actually rode our cargo. The steam pump
failed to work. and the hand pumps, which got
balky. at last actually broke down. and there
was no way to fight against the flood that
poured through the seams and down the
hatches
captain HanlIns said he would stick by the
schooner and wanted to stand by too. but
my life is as good anybody's. and told him
Id take to the small boat first. The mate was
sick, but we got him out and carried him aft
4here was high sea running. but we got him
IN the small boat, and then the rest Of us
joined him. The captain he says don't cut the
painter. but we gave him just five minutes to
come with US or go down with the schooner.
suddenly she pitched her how way under and
her stern went high up. 1 guess this took the
snap out of the shippers nerve, for he craWIed
INTO our boat and we cut loose. There was no
such thing as saving that schooner When the
pumps went bad we threw over our deckload,
but that only made matters worse For eigh-
teen hours We rowed through a regular noun
tain range Of seas. -Four men rowed while four
men baled. and it was a toss up as to which
men worked the harder.
The captain said he was sure that If we could
get ten miles TO the eastward We would then be
In one Of the coastwise lanes and run a chance
of being picked up About eighteen hours after
we left the schooner we signalled the schooner
Henry Weller, bound for Fernandina, and she
took US aboard On the morning Of December
70 the Standard Oil tugboat Astral took us off
and landed us in Communipaw."
