MANY LOSE LIVES
IN SINKING STEAMER
Only Thirteen Rescued From
Phenix Liner.
IN A RAGING ATLANTIC STORM
Feundered About 15o Miles South of
Sable lsland-Numerous Acts of Her.
oism In Life-saving Rarely EquaIed
In Record of Sea Tragedies.

Boston, March 15.-Suffering, men
tai and physical, and numerous acts OF
heroism in saving life rarely equaled
in the record of tragedies of the sea,
attended the loss of the Phenix line
steamer, British King, which, on Sun
day last, in raging Atlantic storm,
foundered about $50 miles south of
Sable island, and carried to death 27
members of the crew.
Thirteen men were rescued from
the sinking vessel by the Layland
line steamer Bostonian, bound from
Manchester to Boston, and eleven by
the German tank steamer Mannheim,
Rotterdam to New York
Five others who had been drawn
down into the vortex into which the
British King was engulfed were picked
up by the Bostonian from a frail bit
Of wreckage, which they had grasped
after a desperate struggle for life in
the whirlpool. The Bostonian arrived
here Wednesday afternoon, and the de-
tails Of the disaster became public.
Captain James O'Hagan, of the Brit
ish King, died on board the Bostonian
from the effects of terrible injuries
sustained in trying to save his ship.
The rescued who were brought here
include James Flanagan, the second
officer; ]. D. Crawford, the chief engi-
neer; Adolphus Beck, the fourth engi-
neer, and William J. Curry, the stew
ard. The others were coal passers
and sailors, mostly Belgians, and one
stOwaWay, Henry Parkotch, of New
York.
Two lifeboats from the Bostonian
were crushed to fragments and the vol
unteer crews which manned them were
thrown into the high running seas
while engaged in the work of rescue,
)ut all were safely landed on board
the steamer.
A second attempt to reach the sink
ing ship was successful and thirteen
men, including Captain O'Hagan, were
taken from the British King to the
Bostonian. Then again a powerful
billow carried the lifeboat against the
side of the ship and destroyed it, and
the life-sayers were thrown into the
sea, to be rescued only after an hours
effort by their comrades.
Volunteers from the Mannheim, after
a heroic battle with the waves, had
taken off eleven from the British King,
but after this neither Of the steamers,
in consequence of the gale, could make
an attempt to reach the laundering
freighter. Moreover, darkness fell and
it was an utter impossibility to do else
but wait for the moonlight to guide
them. In the darkness the British King
which was waterlogged and helpless,
plunged to the bottom

BEGIN THE NEW YEAR RIGHT.

To all our farmers we would say, If
you have not already done SO, begin
at once the raising of all needed home
supplies. See first of all that you
make at home what you will put upon
YOUR table or furnish to your stock
When you have secured this result,
after thorough preparation and fer
tilization put surplus land into cotton,
endeavoring by the use of the best
modern implements and the most i'm
proved methods of cultivation to in
crease the productiveness of your
land.
) With all the money kept at home
that used to go for the purchase of
western flour, corn and meat, what
ever price your cotton may bring, its
sale will be that much money for your
pocket or for your bank deposit
Stand true to the business methods
that brought you prosperity last year,
and the new year will increase that
prosperity.
That all our farmers may stand to-
gether for good business methods and
that the year 1906 may be to them
one of great prosperity and happiness
is the wish of the Georgia Department
of Agriculture.
