IMPRISONED EIGHT HOURS
In the Tunnel Unedr the Bed Of
North River.

New York, Feb 21.-After being
imprisoned for more than eight hours
in tiny circular chamber in the Nc
Adoo tunnel under North river, 13
tunnel workers were taken out in a
serious condition.
Their experience had been a harrow
ing one, as when the door of the sub
terranean cell jammed they were
powerless TO aid themselves.
They were compelled to listen for
hours to the tapping Of chisels and
clink OF hammers welded by those
who sought to save them.
All this time the men were under
the intense air pressure which Is
maintained in the lower levels of the
tunnels and It is feared that many. if
not all of them, will suffer from
bends" or caisson disease as a result
of their exposure.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Nineteen persons

The rush for the exits, during which
dozens were ground under the feet
OF those behind them, resulted from
the prank of boys who opened the ra-
diator escape valve, which filled the
yestibule with kissing steam.
The second mass was being cele-
brated when several boys, bent on
frightening the worshipers, crept into
the first floor OF the building, occu-
pied as a school hall, and began tam

waited in at the west door, which
stood partially open. The horror
stricken occupants of the ediflce
turned from their devotlons to cast a
glance into the hallway. which was
filed with steam, and then they made
rush for the east door.
The priest halted for moment In
the midst of his service and then he
cried TO his fast disappearing flock that
there was no danger. He commanded
them to return to their seats. TO ad-
vance to the altar and to be calm. but
they did not listen to what he said.
Men, women and children fought for
ngress through the east door. none
venturing to the west exit, where It
was believed that the flames were ra-

battled with men for an opportunity to
escape and voiced their demands for

ours OF Hook Of Holland.

London, Feb 22.-The worst disas-
tsr for many years in the history Of
the cross.channel traffic between Eng
land and the continent occurred during
violent gale, when the Rotterdam
mail steamer Berlin, from Harwich to
Hook Of Holland, having safely wealth
cred a hurricane was wrecked as she
was entering port with one single ex-
ception all her passengers and crew,
numbering together 1i8 persons, are
either now dead or cliIging hopelessly
to the wreck.
The man saved was Capt. Parkin.
son, Of Belfast. ireland.
The terrific seas broke up the
steamer with such awful suddenness
that all efforts to save life appear to
have been utterly hopeless. At late
hour 1t was reported that some Of the
survivors are still clingiug to the
wreck. but as the heroic efforts all day
long OF the lifeboat crews had failed
to reach them, little hope that they will
be saved remains.
The first message OF the disaster
reached Harwich at $3.50 In the morn
ing, and ran as follows
THE Berlin is stranded at the North
pier. Her position Is very dangerous.
There is a heavy gale blowing. Tugs
and lifeboats are going out to her as
slstance."
At 1926 o'clock came the last mes
sage: THE Berlin is total loss, with
all her crew and passengers. Nobody
has been saved"
No cause has been assigned for the
accident. and It probably never will
be known how the steamer came 10

It Is conjeotured that some lersnge-

may have rendered the vessel uncon-
trolable.
Capt Precious, OF the Berlin. had
a good record Of II years.
The list OF passengers was lost and
all the names OF those on board have
not yet been learned.
Hook OF Holland, Feb. 23.-Ten SUP
vivors OF the wreck OF the steamer
Berlin were rescued by lifeboat after
they had clung to the partially sub
merged stern OF the wrecked vessel
for over 80 hours. II was only after
repeated efforts and In the face uf
what seemed to be insurmountable
iificulties that the 10 survivors were
finally rescued.
The sturdy Dutch life-savers were
beaten back by the waves time and
again, but persisted in their efforts
to reach the wreck, waiting only long
enough TO warm their frozen hands
and feet after each successful attempt
Prince Henry, husband of Queen
Wilhelmina, arrived. on the scene and
encouraged the men by his example,
making several attempts to reach the
wreck in a pilot boat
The prince made two trips in
pilot boat, but was beaten back each
time. His example, however, encour-
aged the surfmen. who, not to be out

and forcing their way through the seas
to almost certain death, boarded the
