EXCITING SCENES AT RESCUE

Norfolk, Va, Dec. S.-While fire
ragged in the hold of the steamer
Rio Grande the Merchants and Mi
ners' steamer Swanmore, before
daybreak this morning. rescued 1917
passengers in midocean. The rescue
took place 2O5 miles northwest of
Diamond Shoals.
The Rio Grande, after her crew
failed to subdue the flames in one of
her forward holds. sent out wireless
calls for assistance.
The Swanmore, which was withiE
20 miles of the burning ship, picked
them up and hurried to the burning
vessel. She reached the Rio Grande
shortly after o'clock and sent life
boats to take off her passengers.
The passengers were transferred
safely, but only with great difficulty.
A high southwest wind caused
choppy sea and there was danger of
lifeboats being crushed against the
sides of the two steamers.
The Rio Grande was ready to
transfer the passengers when the
Swanmore hove in sight and had
her lifeboats loaded with passengers
still hanging on the davits.
A liferaft, loaded to the edges.
was overturned by great wave.
but it is believed that all who were
hurled into the sea were saved.
When their peril was realized.
women and children knelt on the
deck of the Rio Grande and prayed
that all might be rescued.
The rescue accomplished in dark
ness is regarded here as the most
thrilling rescue recorded in some
time.
The excellent discipline of the
crew of both vessels is believed to
be responsible for the successful
transfer of the passengers from the
burning vessel to the Swanmore.
The ship evidently had been on
fire for several days.
The Swanmore. after taking off
the Rio Grande passengers, stood by
the ship and helped to fight the
flames. When the fire was under
control, the passengers were again
transferred to the Rio Grande and
she continued on her voyage.
The Rio Grande plies between
New York and Southern ports. The
Swanmore plies between Baltimore
and Savannah.
The Captain of the Rio Grande
was severely burned about the
hands, the wireless said, in fighting
the hames. 81
Both the Captain and wireless OPP
orator aboard the Rio Grande dis
played great courage in remaining
at their posts while the flames were
being fought.

tnelT HOmeS, WnlCu WeTt SuDmcTkeu.
Describing his experiences yes
terday and last night in a rescue
boat in the overflow from this levee
break, w. w. Griggs, of Houston,
said:
God knows how many there
were left in the bottoms. When we
left last night We could hear cries
and shouts in the darkness. They
are all huddled together in cotton
gins and high places. There were
$50 people in. one gin house on
Mornings plantation. The levee is
broken in three places. On top of
the safe portions of the levee horses
and mules and cows are crowded in
great numbers, but when they be-
came frightened at the rush of wa
ter many were knocked off,"
Griggs said the rescuers in his
boat found one man and woman in
tree top, where they had been for
twenty-four hours. He gave them
food, the first they had eaten in
more than day.
The Brazos bottoms, one of the
richest farm land sections of the
State, were thickly populated.
The overflow scattered many
families, who will not know just
how many of their members were
drowned until the food subsidies.
Report 1000 People Lost.
Bryan, Tex, Dec. S.-Reports
here to-day that probably 1000 ne
groes and Italians have drowned in
the thirty-mile levee district could
not be confirmed.
The reports were based on an es-
innate made by land owners in the
district of the number of Their ten
ants and the total number of known
rescued or those still marooned.
The last census gave $4,000 ten
ants in the levee section, of whom
20 per cent. were negroes, 8 per
cent. whites and % per cent. Ital-
ians. The rescued since the flood
ON this, the east side of the river,
have been estimated at only LOO,
with an equal number believed to
be rescued on the other side of the
river.
Boatmen reported to-day there
were still 1900 persons, mostly ne
groes, in fourteen cotton gin houses
in the overflow, where they are in
no immediate danger though very
hungry. The boatmen also said
there remained very few places
where there could still be marooned
refugees. The unknown quantity in
this estimate was the number who
needed the warning and ran out of
the district ahead of the rise. A
great many are known to have done
this.

SKILLED IN EMBALMING ART
Japanese Of Two Hundred Years Ago
Had Brought to Perfection the
Preservation Of the Dead.

In the olden days in Japan the
embalmers were successful in secur-
ing an excellent state of preserva-
ton in the bodies on which they
operated. The Japan Chronicle re-
Gently drew attention to a case of
this nature which came to light some
time ago in Kobe. The operations
which are being conducted by the
municipality included the removal of
some graves of the Aoyama family,
situated in the rear of the Anyoji
temple. Two graves were opened,
belonging to old dainyos who were
buried 200 years ago. The graves
consisted of stone cells with large
collins Of earthenware. When the
spaces between the cell walls and the
wooden collins were opened those
present were surprised to see that
the bodies were in a state of preser-
Walton and had all the appearance Of
wax figures. The old Amagasaki
lords lay in almost life-like fresh
ness, dressed in the picturesque cos
tune Of an earlier day. Several yalu-
able personal belongings were found
in the graves, including two long
swords, womon's hair ornaments,
boxes Of pocket inkstones, gold fam
lily seals, etc.

EXPLORERS DO GOOD WORK
Husband and Wife Have Mapped Out
Hitherto Unknown Regions In
Northern India.

The Himalayan explorers, DR.. and
Mrs. Bullock Workman, recently ar
rived in Bangalore, India, from their
last eventful expedition, after spend
ing a few days in Bombay, on their
journey south. 1t is their intention
to rest and recuperate in Bangalore
for some weeks. They covered much
new ground in their last expedition
$50 square miles-and all the
mountains and glaciers have been
mapped. Many new ascents were
made, ranging from an altitude of
10000 feet to $1,000 feet, to say
nothing of camping for five weeks at
an elevation of $4,000 feet. BY far
the longest and largest glacier in
Asia, the Siachen, has been accu-
rately located, which is the party's
most notable achievement. This took
place after the explorers had discov-
cred two new watersheds between the
Indus and the Chinese Turkestan re-
gion, and the return journey was ac-
complished through a hitherto un-
known pass. The main object of
the expedition was to complete the
exploration of the Siachen glacier,
which is fifty miles in length, in the
Karakoram mountains. Not only
was this achieved, but a connection
between the Siachen glacier and the
still unexplored Kondus glacier has
been established.
