HIGH SOUTH Wind
HITS BAY STATE
WITH GREAT FORCE

Portland, Me, Sept. 2S.-A rising
today, driving the waves with steadily
increasing force against the port side
Of the wrecked steamer, Bay State,
where she lies on the rocks at Cape
Elizabeth and this coupled with the
fact that most all her freight has been
taken out, Is causing the hulk Of the
big vessel to sway and rock with more
violence than at any time since she
came to this resting place in the dense
fog of last Saturday morning
With the coming up of the south
wind. people in town began to realize
that 1t was possible that the last hours
of the Bay State We're at hand and all
the morning persons living on the Cape
shore within sight of the wreck have
had hundreds of telephone calls - to
the ships condition. Residents of the
Cape shore state that the sea is max
ing all the time and believe that the
ship will undoubtedly receive a batter
ing If indeed she does not break up.
A survey was held upon the strand
ed steamer yesterday, Capt. Thomas j.
Laithwaite of this city, Capt. Jeffcott
of New York and B. Stuart Murphy Of
Boston being in the party. who will
make their report to the underwriters.
What will now be done wit the ship
is entirely up to the underwriters, and
1t has been rumored that she will be
sold to a movie company for burning
or sold outright to wreckers. AS con-
ditions look today, it is likely that
whatever is done will have to be done
quickly.

Many Incidents of the TwoDays Great Struggle Are Coming

Cellarful of Germans Routed i

ing into the backs of party Of British
pioneers, who promptly dropped their
shovels and took after the burrowers.
When the pioneers returned after a
fierce underground melee they brought
with them as prisoners an officer and
so men. 1t is supposed that the Ger
mans here had found the forgotten
tunnels of a medieval monastery and
added auxiliary ones to suit their own
purposes.
All observers agree that of late the
Germans, when left in isolation strong

to obey their instructions to the letter.
An officer of the Second Prussian

three times as many aeropranes while
our aviators seemed to have lost their
nerve. My battalion was always put in
the worst possible position. Some Of my
men, who were given Rexa automatic
rifles. threw them down without wait
ing to fire when the British charged.
Machine gun squads and last ditch
parties are left to stick in the face of
the British guns and British charges
with the assurance that il they stick
to it, counter attack will rescue
them. But the counter-attacks fail to
materialize as they didyat first. gave

The British passed today in taking
ground in a number of smaller attacks
in order to rectify their new line.
