CREW RESCUED IN HURRICANE
0arsmen Save Men from Water
logged Schooner at Risk of Lives.
Worked Pumps Night and Day for
Five Days Until Every Man
Was Exhausted

Liverpool, Feb. H-Tt was the crew Of
the American four masted schooner Ed
ward J. Berwind, not the Harriet c..
Kerlin, who were picked up by the British
steamer Mercedes dc Larrigna.
When the Berwind was thirteen days
out from New Orleans for Philadelphia
she encountered gale. which increased
to a hurricane She sprang aleak, and
her crew worked at the pumps for FIVE
days and nights until they could scarcely
stand. Then the pumps became unwork-
able. and the loss Of the schooner seemed
to be inevitable.
The hurricane was at its height when
the Mercedes de Larrigna was sighted.
The men on the Berwind were unable TO
help themselves. and the steamer lowered
one Of her lifebOats.
The oarsmen, displaying the greatest
courage. faced the tremendous seas. but
they could not lay their boat alongside
the schooner. They therefore got astern
of her and the eight men on the Ber-
wind crawled along the main BOOM
whence they dropped into the lifeboat
They had very narrow escape.

ROW OVER ANCIENT CHALICE.
Antiquarian Society Opposes Sale of
Vessel TO Mr.. Morgan.

Antiquarian Society Opposes Sale Of
Vessel to Mr.. Morgan.
London. Feb. 14--With the view 10 rails
ing money TO refiOor the church at
Churchill, near Worcester, the church
wardens are negotiating with J. Pierpont
Morgan for the sale of an ancient chalice.
Mr.. Morgan has offered a considerable
sum for it. but tie deal is not yet con-
cluded The proposal Is arousing much
opposition. It's opponents are urging the
chancellor of the diocese TO prevent the
sale.
The Antlquary Society. one Of the pro-
tagonists of the opposition, declares it is
horrible to think that a vessel from which
the parishioners have drunk the cup Of
salvation for more than three centuries,
should be polluded by adding il to the
collection adorning Mr.. Morgan's table,
an array which suggests Belshazzar's
feast.
