New York, Jan. 1.-two negro tun-

others seriously overcome and the
white foreman and assistant suffered
severely in rescuing those who sur

twenty feet below the river level.
These men were overwhelmed by wa

pressure was removed.
The other two dead men We're hoisted

assistant. who also rescued two whose
lives were saved.
The foreman and his assistant left
the bottom of the shaft and were
hoisted to the river level with the
bodies just in time to escape drown

Man-o'war reef is a mass of rocks,
which lies just below the surface of the
river at low water. When it was fixed

shafts upon 1t contractors have made
a little island for work there. From
this the shaft through which com
pressed air was driven to workers be-
