 Although the Nourmahal has not been heard from in fifteen days, Will liam A. Dobbyn, secretary of the John Jacob Astor estate said that he be. lieved she was safe somewhere in Porto Rican waters, and that she had not been heard from simply because of the break in the cable between Kingston and Porto Rico the only un. derwater link connecting the little Americanized island telegraphically with the United States.

Cries of Widows Cause Experts to Take Desperate Chance-Fire and Gas Prevent Recovery
 Of Bodies.

Cherry, Ill.-For the first time sine. Sunday, two daring men Wednesday night took their lives in their hands and descended into the ventilating shaft of the ill-fated St Paul mine in the blocked and fiery galleries of which more than 300 men and boys lie dead.
 The exploit was successfully carried through by Thomas Morris and N Y Williams. both of the United States geological survey.
 They were nearly exhausted when hauled to the top but quickly revived under the administration of stimuli ants
 From what they discovered 1t is thought the fire has moved back from the main shaft and that 1t may be pos sihle to enter to soon.
 Williams, much the lighter man of the two, descended to the second gal lery. where the first started The shaft was comparatively cool.
 There was considerable steam, but much less smoke than on Sunday.
 Men Are Almost Exhausted.
 The buckets in which the descents were made were small and made closer scrutiny of the gallery impos- sible. The buckets were large enough only to stand in and the effect of hold ing to=the rope, carrying their oxygen apparatus on their backs at the same

 The mouth of the shaft badly lighted and muddy. was surrounded for hours by a crowd of firemen, newspaper men, miners and officials who waited patiently in spite of the biting cold.
 First a test was made for black damp by means of safety lamp. which was lowered at the end of the line. It's flame was extinguished al 100 feet. There were those who argued against the risk of any more lives, but the opportunities of surviving miners that a last desperate chance be taken to see. some way of reaching the i'm prisoned bodies prevailed.
 Some feet down Williams signaled with the automobile horn which he carried for a stop Instantly Paul cried whoa" and in the engine house the hoisting machine was silenced. Half dozen times this formula was carried out
 The crowd by this time was as silent as it at a funeral and when, after what seemed an interminable wait. a signal to hoist was given, every neck was strained to catch the first glimpse of the daring explorers.
