HUNDRED LIVES IN PERIL
Stranded Ship Being Pounded
to Pieces Near New York.

New York, May S.-One hundred
men on the disabled, stranded ship
Peter Rickmers are in peril. The big
ship is plunging helplessly about in
tumbling, pitching sea on sandbar
about thousand yards off shore, not
far from Fire island. Three of her
masts are gone, half of her cargo of
case oil has been cast into the sea
and she is being pounded by battery
Of waves which neither she nor any
other ship similarly placed can long
endure.
Two lifelines were sent out to the
Rickmers when it became apparent
that those on board might require
quick assis stance, but as the waves
drove the vessel steadily but slowly
westward the lines gave way and the
only link of safety between ship and
shore was destroyed
In the meantime the Rickmers had
begun to feel the effects Of the fright
full battering she was receiving from
the waves. Her seams began to open
and the water poured in streams into
her hold. Every wave now makes a
clean sweep over the ship and three
lifesaving crews are fighting against
the wind and seas in a driving rain in
an attempt to run other lines to the
doomed craft.
The men on board include number
Of employees of the wrecking COM
panies from the tugs sent to the ships
assistance. The lifesavers have not
been able to reach the vessel with
new lifelines. They hope to be able
to launch the surfboat when the tide
falls.
