NO WORD OF ASToR YACHT
Efforts to Locate the NourmahaI by
Wireless aFil-other Vessels
Reported Missing.

New York City.-While the gov.
eminent and the Astor estate through
every possible agency are trying vain.
ly to locate the private yacht Nour-
mahal, bearing Col, John Jacob Astor,
his son Vincent and a party of friends,
which left Kingston on November 5,
and which has not since been heard
from, news Of three more vessels re.
ported as missing in the same part Of
the world gives color to the fear that
the West Indian hurricane has taken
a heavier toll of life and ships than
first reported.
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 I'M
derwater link connecting the little
Americanized island geographically
with the United States.

New York City.-Acording to fig
ures given out by William Loeb, Jr.,

Z EXPERTS ENTER
F|RE-SWEPTM MINE
TRIP INTO CHERRY COAL PIT
SHOWS FLAMES HAVE
MOVED BACK.
REACH TOP ALMOST EXHAUSTED
Cries Of Widows Cause Experts to
Take Desperate Chance-Fire
and Gas Prevent Recovery
of Bodies.

Cherry, Il.-For the first time sinc0
Sunday, two daring men Wednesday
night took their lives in their hands
and descended into the ventilating
shaft of the Inflated st. Paul mine
in the blocked and fiery galleries of
which more than 800 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
sible 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 we're 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
time, wore both lei out.
Were all in," was Morris first
words as his head, hidden in a metal
lie cap, like that of a diver, ap.
peared above the pit. The two men
were lowered after several hours of
preparations.
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 a safety lamp,
which was lowered at the end of the
line. It's fame was extinguished at
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
hosting machine was silenced. Half a
dozen times this formula was carried
out.
The crowd by this time was as
silent as 1t 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.
