Call for Help.
STEAMSHIP KENTUCKY IS LOST

New York, Feb. 5.-Once more the

"S. o. s." signal Of distress, quickly
flashing through the ether, this morn
ing summoned help to sinking steam
er and tonight Captain Moon and his
crew of 46 men are safe on board the
Mallory liner Alamo, while their YES
sci, the steamer Kentucky is at the
bottom of the sea off Cape Hatteras.
1t is another case of disaster averted
by wireless and told to the world by
the same medium.
The Kentucky, a wooden vessel of
996 gross tonnage and 203 feet long,
was bound from New York to the Pa
cific coast for use between Seattle and
Alaska ports for the Alaska Pacific
Steamship compny.
First news Of the Kentucky's dis
tress was received at the United Wire
less company's station at Cape Hat
teras at IL 80 o'clock this morning.
There the operator heard the "S. o.
S." and quickly followed by this mes
sage:
'We are sinking. Our latitude is
23:10; longitude $780,"
Almost simultaneously the operator
heard the steamship Alamo respond to
the Kentucky's call for help, informing
Captain Moore that the Alamo was
making all speed to the sinking YES
sells assistance.
Thereafter no message was received
from the Kentucky, indicating that
water had interferred with the power,
puttiny her wireless apparatus out of
commission.
The navy department at Washington
in the meantime flashed wireless mes
sages along the Atlantic coast, dis
patching the bsttleship Louisiana,
which was on a 24-hour speed trial
cruise, and two revenue cutters, the
Yamacraw and Seminole, to the scene,
but at 5 o'clock word came from the
Alamo that she had arrived first and
had taken off all hands in safety.
This is the message as received in
New York by the United Wireless
company from its Cape Hatteras sta
tion:
Latitude 2:46; longitude 1928
Steamship Alamo has just taken Cap
tain Moore and crew of 46 men from
the sinking Kentucky. Water had al
ready reached the fire room and the
