FOUGHT GALE
AND FIRE
AT SEA
Sleeps Crew Subsisted on
Water-SOaked Hardtack.
All Are Saved.

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 27.-With a
tale of three terrific days of sea fight
ing with gale and fire to give them
battle, far off the coast, the eight men,
crew of the fishing sloop Pittsburg, in
command of Captain George Jeffries,
brought their vessel into the Inlet yes
terday just after families and friends
had about given them up for lost. Sub
sistence on water-soaked bareback as
their only provision after cook stoves
had been overturned in the gale, a
left the men gaunt and nearly starved
from what at times appeared certain
destruction.
The gale and blizzard swept dow on
the little but stanch craft while she lay
off the coast of Long Island, making
ready to run her big cargo of cod into
New York port. Ground anchors,
dropped in hopes of riding out the gale,
were snapped clear when cables parted
under the strain, n the vessel was
blown far to sea. despite the valiant
efforts of her crew to place rigging that
would defy the gale.
Hoping to secure warm coffee and
food after their all-night battle with
the elements, the men started fires in
their galley stoves, only to have the
pitch of the waves overturn Goals on
the fo'castle floor. The fire spread in
the tanning wind, and hard pumping
only saved the vessel from destruction.
I'VE were in an awful fix" declared
one of the men who Joined with his
family in thanks for his saving from
the sea "Our boats were smashed and
torn from the davits in the first rush
of the gale, and we new that if the
fire or gale got the best of us there
was no hope of being saved"
After the fires were q~uenched the
men were nearly frozen, and through
Friday night and Saturday they work
ed with frozen fingers to rig the jury
mast and sail hat allowed them to sail
into the inlet. The boat Is badly
smashed, and must be drydocked for
repairs before the men can go out
again to retrieve the loss of their cargo
and boats.
The fishing schooner Harold, which
had also been reported missing, ar
rived here during the day. She had
made harbor near New York and
awaited the subsiding of the storm.

eases. Thaw slept badly as a child,
requiring a relay of nurses most Of
the time.
Following DR.. Bingham came the first
of the foreign witnesses, DR.. Sydney
Russell Wells, of London. who was
called to attend Thaw in the English
capital in the early part of 1899.
Mr.. Thaw was in a very nervous
condition." said DIR. Wells. His pulse
was extremely rapid and he com
planned of pains in the head 1 dag
nosed his case as one of mental dis
turbance."
On one of his visits to the defendant,
the witness said, he found his patient
In a highly excitable state, despite the
fact that his temperature was only 80
degrees. He referred Thaw might ham
himself. Thaw did not respond to
treatment, even opiates failing, and DIT.
Wells said he decided to send the
young man to the Devonshire Nursing
Associations Hospital.
On another visit he found Thaw dancing
about the room like a mailman. He re-
ported his case at the hospital as acute
mania.
During your entire attendance on MIR.
Thaw in 1899, doctor, what conclusion did
you reach?" asked Mr.. Littleton.
II diagnosed his case as acute recurrent
insanity
DR.. Wells said he saw Thaw in 1901, 1902
and In 1903 or 1904. He treated him at
these times, but there were no acute symp-
toms as In 1899.
Miss Lillian MacBride, of London, a pro-
f~esslonal nurse. as she described herself,
followed DR.. Wells. She was called in to
attend Thaw as nurse in his rooms in
London in July, 1899. Thaw was very rest
less and excited and his talk was In
coherent, the expression of his face was
wild and although he had no temperature
he continually complained Of the frlghtful
heat. There was no evidence of alcohol
ism. His acts and appearance Impressed
the witness as irrational
The third of the foreign witnesses to he
called was DR.. Frederick j. Burton-Browne,
of London, formerly of the India medical
service, and for a time q practising physi-
clan in Rome. DR.. Burton-Browne con-
stantly referred to himself as a medical
man, rather than a doctor. 1t was in
March, 1902, that the witness was called to
attend Thaw in Rome. He diagnosed the
case as one of simple or mild mania. There
was no evidence Of alcoholism.
District Attorney Jerome on cross-ex-
animation asked;
How long did Thaw's mania last?'
about thirty-six hours
That's ALL"
Next came DR.. Maurice Gauja, of Paris,
who gave his testimony through the Of
fetal court Interpreter. He attended Thaw
in Paris in the spring of 1904 when he at
tempted suicide by swallowing laudanum.
Dr.. Gauja described Thaw's condition,
but said he had not diagnosed it as lauda-

CRASH. THEN CRIES OF FIRE
Families in Littleton Avenue PLAYHOUSE
Given Early Morning Scare.

Members of six families occupying apart
ments in a dwelling at 36 Littleton ave-
nue. were suddenly aroused at $50 o'clock
yesterday morning by a loud report whlcp
was followed by cries of fire. The ceiling
in Max Blocks kitchen fell, and it was
this which caused the people to leave their
beds and rush into the snow-coVered
streets thinly clad. When Block rushed
into his kitchen he found it full of smoke
and before he knew it someone had sent
in an alarm.
Fortunately for the fremen, the Cross
beams which supported the floor above
Blocks rooms caught fire from some un-
known and melted the water pipe ana
water flowed from it and extinguished the
flames and soaked the walls, thus causing
them to fall. 1t is believed that a live coal
dropped from a stove between the floor,
thus setting fire to the lathes and finally to
the beams.
Captain Martin, of the Salvage Corps,
was under the impression that the fire
was smouldering the greater part OF the
night.
