Hook of Holland, Feb. 22.-Up to
10 o'clock this morning it has still
been impossible to approach the
wreck of the Berlin off the Hook of
Holland, where few persons are
seen to be still alive.
The stern of the Berlin is SO firmly
embedded in the sand bank on which
she went ashore that it does not
appear to have moved during the
night. At high water this morning
the poop deck houses were the only
portions of the steamer visible and
there the few survivors were huddled
A life boat which went out to the
wreck at midnight accompanied by
three tugs remained there, anchored
close to the Berlin for three hours,
but was unable to get alongside of
her, as the heavy seas would have
dashed her to pieces. The life boat
men report that they heard an oc-
casional shout for help, but they ulti-
mately were forced by the rising tide
and increasing dangers to temporar-
lily abandon their efforts to rescue the
survivors.
Capt. Parkinson, of the Holt steam
ship line, who was on his way to
Amsterdam on board the Berlin to
sjoin his vessel, the Myrmiden, and
take her back to Liverpool, is the
sole survivor of the disaster who thus
far has reached shore. He said this
morning that the catastrophe was due
to the fact that the Berlin broached
to in a terrific sea as she was enter
ing the waterway, and that before she
was able to recover herself she was
dashed upon the pierhead, Immediate
ly "crunched up like a concertina"
and parted anidships.
Later.
3 P. Mater over thirty hours of
almost incessant efforts, and splendid
work, the Dutch life-boat men were
rewarded by reaching the wreck of the
British Steamer Berlin which went
ashore here yesterday morning, and
ten survivors on the after part of the
vessel were, saved. Buffeted and driv-
en- back time and time, the sturdy
Dutchmen refused to relax their at
tempts in behalf of the handful of
ship-wrecked people, and throughout
yesterday last night and this morning,
they launched their boat repeatedly,
only to be foiled by the mountainous
seas. In early afternoon the life-boat
again went out, the receding tide and
some improvement in the weather gave
better hope of success, and after a
hard battle with the seas. the few
people still living were safely taken

liquor shop at Sanford by a sheriff's
posse yesterday, two stores and the
Methodist church at Sandtord were
dynamited early today, the buildings

mited. The two buildings were de-
stroyed almost simultaneously.
The structures were wrecked and
stocks of goods practically ruined.
The Reese store was a two-story build-

On it's re- turn the captain told a wonderful story "f having discovered large island somewhere to the east of the south coast of Greenland. which was named after the buss Ga term applied to a strongly built small vessel of fifty or sixty tons.) What was tho real ori- gin of the report. whether pure inven- tion or delusion, has given rise to no end of discussion But this phantom island. some fifty thousand square miles in area, kent it's place on maps down to the great physical atlas of Keith Johnston in the middle of the nineteenth century. Expeditions were sent out repeatedly to search for it, but with as little result as in the case of Antllla. Yet 1t was mapped in de- tail, and its features named with as much confidence as if it had been Ice land or the Faroes. Even yet We find authorities of reputation maintaining a belief in the existence of Buss Island, and accounting for the disappearance of this 50,O0O square miles of land by sudden conVulsiOn which sank it some hundreds of Sathoms below the surface of the ocean. It is more easy to believe either that the original story was au invention or that the crew of the buss of Bridgewater mistook the southern ocean of Greenland in those G0aAcy RaaE for an IAlandP

SATURDAY, JUNE ss, 1907.
HIGH LIQUOR LICENSE.

The best interests of Montgomery de- niRnd that more restrictions be thrown bround the retail liquor business, and lhat the territory in which it can be conducted in this city be restricted. This is not spoken from any sentimen- EaI outburst of feeling. but as a pure business proposition. We do not know whether a license tax of $1,5Oo, as rec pmmended by the Mayor, would in grease revenue The main point for Dur citizens to consider is that 1t will require more inquiry on the part of the committees, and greater caution In the granting of license. The busi- ness of the city will certainly not be looms. On the contrary, it will be bet ter from every viewpoint to feel that the saloons are kept by men disposed to obey the law to aid in arrest and punishment of those who seek to violate it. Under higher license sys- tenn. many neighborhoods will be re- 1ieved of the nuisance and trouble that come from corner liquor shops. There will be fewer meeting places for those who are disposed to be lawless and that class will be more under the eye of the police. It will greatly reduce the crim- snality that burdens our police record and lessen the expense of governing the city.
 The sum named by the Mayor is not as much as is required in Atlanta, and not more than that in Birmingham The effort is a good one and we earnestly hope that the committee, at its meet 1ng tonight. will recommend and that the Council will adopt the Mayors sug- Bestions. We believe that 1t will tend greatly to prevent any agitation for dispensary or prohibition.
