Life-Savers On the Point

Easing of Gale and Terrific Sea Niada
Rescue Possible--Not a Single
Soul Was Lost.

New York May S.--Seventy-two men.
who for more than "a hours had been
facing death in the raging sea near
Fire island. were rescued from the
orumbling hulk of the big German
ship Peter Rickmers early today. The
rescue was effected after one of the
most trying experiences the llfe-savers
on this coast have ever been called on
to face. No less than dozen times
hope of saving the men on the doomed
ship was all but abandoned, and IL
was only the easing of the gale and
terrific sea that made the rescue pos
sible. Fortunately not a man lost his
life and it IS believed that not ono
OF them suffered any permanent harm
as result Of their long fight against
death.
The geat steel ship, one of the finest
sailing vessels that ever rode the sea,
is total wreck Her bow and
stern have been completely torn off by
the waves, her masts We're ripped out,
her deck-houses and bridge swept away
and she is full of water.

Il is unlikely even that any effort win

The Rickmers struck the sand bar
about 10 miles from Fire island April
go while bound out from New York for
Europe. At first it was believed that
she would be floated without difficulty,
but as the wind continued and she
| drove farther and farther on the shelly

serious. Even then. when the
wind decreased. 1T was believed
| serious damage after a portion of her
| cargo of case oil had been jettisoned.
large force of wreckers was set at
the task and excellent progress was
being made up TO last Tuesder night
when a great storm broke on in'
coast. The wind increased so rapidly
and the sea assumed such proportions
| that the wrecking tugs standing by
were forced to fee for their own safe

salvagers who had been working on
the cargo, and S3 of the crew of the
Rickmers.
AS the storm increased. the waves
drove the big vessel steadily back on
the bar. one by one her masts went
bv the board and. surging over the
crumbling hulk. threatened TO sweep
every living thing on board into tho
sea. -
LlFE-SAVERS AT WORK.
Life savers on the beach sent lines
tn the Rickmers but before single
man could be hauled ashore. the
ropes parted. The storm continued &c
grow in intensity and the plight OF the
men on the wrecked ship became more
desperate. Five crews from life-sav'
ing stations were on the beach bul
their bnats were useless in the sea ant
one hope was in subsistence OF th'
storm or the shooting OF INES over
the ship
Early this morning the storm ha'
subsidized sufficiently to permit TN
wreckers on board the ship TO launcf

Then a line was sent to the wrecked
ship and the crew of the ship wer'

The thrashing of her children on
the day before the fire because. II is
believed, they wished to visit the cell
lar, is now declared to be Important.
Atty. Worden believes that the body
of the woman who was buried with
the children was stored In the cellar
In preparation for the burning of the

"The children were beaten evident
ly because there was something in that
cellar which she did not want them
to see said Atty Worden. 1T was

Guinness body which was stored
there. She fed because she feared an
exposure"

She was kidnapped from Mrs. GUM

the Guinness estate for her.
A SINISTER FACT DEVELOPED.
Chicago, May "a sinister fact in
connection with the death of Max Sor-
enson. the first husband of Mrs. GUM
ness was revealed today when it be-
came known that he died just one day
before an insurance policy which he
had been carrying for some years
would have expired. and two days af-
ter second policy which he intended
to substitute for the first had become
operative.
A theory that part of the Guinness
farm at Laporte was a private burying
ground was advanced today by John
Larson, neprew of Mrs. Guinness. re-
siding in this city, the records of the
land show that from 1851 to 1878 the
land was owned by DR.. b. r. Car of
Laporte, and Larson believes that the
bones are those of people buried there
by the physician.
The Loports authorities are now try
ing to ascertain whether on not DR.. Car
had private burying ground ON the
