EIGHT MEN RESCUED
And Then Attempt Had to Be Aban-
doned for the Night.

Norfolk. Va, March .. Undaunted
after day and night Of continuous
battle in one OF the worst storms this
coast has experienced in wears, life saw
ers last night rescued eight Of the 35
or more men on board the stranded
steamer Manchura, which lies 300 feet
from the beach, three miles south Of
Little island
Blinded by terrific snow storm, with
a bowling northeast gale dashing high
waves over the ship on whose decks
clung the crew, The life savers for hours
tried to shoot line to them The
life savers often were caught by the
waves and dashed high upon the beach.
They finally made the life line fast,
however, sent the basket out to the
stranded ship and brought ashore, one
by one, eight members Of the crew.
Their journey to shore was almost
entirely under water
The storm increased in fury until the
waves beat back on the beach for sew
eral hundred feet and the life savers,
recognizing that il would be suicide TO
attempt 10 take of any more Of the
crew. abandoned the work of rescue for
the time being.
From the Manchuria signals were
dashed which said that the ship was
leaking, but would probably withstand
the storm for the night at least.
