LINER SNATCHEs
TEN FROM DEATH
ON WRECKED SHIP
Threw Themselves Into Ocean
and Were Picked Up by
MOhaWk's Crew.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Ten seamen
snatched from death in the great
storm that battered the South Atlantic
coast were brought here today by the
Clyde line steamer Mohawk. Last
Tuesday morning the Mohawk rescued
them from the crumbling hulk Of the
schooner Malcolm b. Seavey, of Bath,
Me-, while the sea was pounding their
ship to pieces on a reef off George
town, S. c. Brief news of the rescue
came yesterday in a wireless dispatch.
One man lost his life during the
forty -eight-hour struggle aboard the
wave-swept schooner. He was Portu-
guese sailor known to his mates only
as Tony"
A boat from the steamer could not
get nearer the Seavey than fifty yards,
and one by one the exhausted men un-
tied the ropes that held them to the
rigging and threw themselves into the
sea, and were hauled aboard the small
boat by lines thrown to them as they
struggled in the tremendous waves.

fall which has drenched Newark for
more. than week, and which will con-
tinue tomorrow and possibly Satur-
day.
The wet spell has been unusual in a
number of Ways, the last twenty four
hours not the least unusual of the
period
"The temperature has remained at 65
from midnight" said Professor Wiener,
until II o'clock today That is a pc
culiarIty in itself But | expect the
question most people are asking is,
Where are those storms coming from 2
1T is thought by the authorities at
Washington that this storm is part of
the gale that swept thg southern At
