2 Drown as Seas
Sweep 7 Off Boat
Near Long Beach
High Breakers in Zach's
Inlet Rake Fishing YES
sci, Clearing Deck

LONG BEACH. L. l.. Sept. 2.-Seven
men in fishing boat coming through
Zach's Inlet, near here, were swept
overheard by the tremendously heavy
seas this afternoon, and two OF them
were drowned. The other five, in dan
ger Of losing their lives, were finally
rescued in a small boat launched in
the breakers by members Of the fishing
crafts crew.
At a late hour tonight the dead men
had not bcon identified, but the captain
of the fishing vessel declared they were
from New York. There were no marks
on their clothing by which their iden-
tity could be learned. One of the vic
tins is about forty and weighs $50
pounds, while the other, about forty
five, is twenty pounds heavier. Both
are smooth shaven.
Choppy Sea Running
The ffty-foot speed powerboat Ath-
lete, with thirty passengers aboard,
started out from Wreck Lead at 4
o'clock this morning, for the fishing
banks, under command of Captain
Frank White, the owner. After a
days sport, the boat turned back, and
made the inlet from the ocean to Great
South Bay without mishap.
A choppy sea was running, and the
breakers, confined by the narrow in
let, reared unusually high. The inlet
is known to all fishermen as a treacher-
Gus spot at all times, and Captain
White had no need 70 caution his pas
sengers.
The boat had passed partly through
the inlet when the heavy seas broke
over the deck. Then wave after wave,
whipped by Q high wind, swept the
vessel, raking it from stem TO stern.
No One Noticed Drowning Men
In the confusion of the moment no
one noticed the seven men struggling
in the water, and it was several min
utes before an attempt was made 70
lunch a small boat.
Finally. Captain White and some Of
his crew showed off With the utmost
difficulty they were able to pick up
one man after the other. When Eve
had been accounted for they returned
10 the Athlete.
II was not until some time later
that the two men were found TO be
missing. The accident took place
about three hundred yards from shore
and a short distance away from the
lifesaving station at Point Lookout.
Find Bodies on Shore
Life savers stood by and assisted in
the rescue work, then started back TO
their station. Near the shore they
came upon the floating bodies of the
two victims. Under direction of Cap.
tain BENJAMIN Seaman, OF the station,
first aid was given the men, but re-
suscitation aids, tried for more than
three hour!. brought no results.
The bodies were taken on board the
Athlete and carried to Wreck Lead.
Coroner f. T. Neu then gave permits
sion for their removal 70 a morgue at
Lynbrook The Coroner started an in
vestigation, but il is said that no one
on board the vessel will be held re-
sponsible for the deaths.

CAMP MILLS, Long Island, Sept 2.
Colonel Roosevelt visited Camp
Mills to-day to smell the battle from
afar and to see his old friend Of the
Santiago trenches-as they called the
burrows they dug in those days Col
onel Hine, commander Of the l65th
Infantry, the old 69th.
From the moment that the guard
turned out in honor to an exPresi-
dent as the colonel's motor car en-
tered the camp precincts, he was con-
fronted in every company street by
double line Of stalwarts in olive drab
who stood stiffly at attention until he
was past, when the ranks dissolved as
by magic into whooping throng Of
enthusiasts who trailed the colonel
even to that sanctum sanctorum, the
regimental commanders quarters. and
yociferously demanded a speech AMI
handshake.

Accompanying the Colonel on the
motor trip from Sycamore Hill were

1850 ,. m.
BY the time the Colonel's car had
drawn up in front of Colonel Hines
tent the olive drab tail of the comet
had caught up and wrapped itself
about the vehicle so that Colonel
Roosevelt had TO thrust passage
through folds that were far from
nebulous in order TO reach his old
friend. After the surrender of San
tiago, Roosevelt and Hinc we're among
those who formed plans for the for

The flaps Of Colonel Hines tent we're
rolled up, and outside a constantly
growing crowd pressed eagerly against
those nearest the tent in an effort to
get a better view Of their commanders

and the interest so keen that presently

had been thrust forward from all sides.

mendous success and to the undis-
guised pleasure of the distinguished
visitors, methods which are as old as

historIc care coIIapsed.

The massive iron gate forming the
chief entrance to the National IL
brary in Paris, France, collapsed
the other day as the d%0orkeeper was
closing the place for the night. The
gate weighs about three tons, and hap
PLY for the man and his son who was
helping him to shut it, just missed
them in its fall. The accident was
caused by the top hinge giving way
suddenly, and there was a great crash
as the portal wrenched itself free and
fell heavily into the courtyard. A
number of republican guards were
called out to keep watch over the en-
trance, and will remain on duty there
until the necessary repairs can be eff
fected. The mishap caused quite a
connection, for everyone thought a
bomb had been dropped, so sharp was
the report when the gate-a relic OF
Napoleon's days-struck the ground.

By-Product Coke Oven.

The iron industry of this country has
been adopting the by-product coking
process at a marvellous rate. There
are practically no ~by-product coke
plants in the United States, which do
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil
(crude benzol). In the vast majority
of the plants also surplus gas is re-
covered and utilized either at the plant
itself or by distribution to outside con-
sumers There are possibly two or
three very small by-product coke plants
at which tar and ammonia are not re-
covered for disposal to the outside mar
kets, but these would certainly repre-
sent considerably less than / per cent
of the total by-product coking capacity.
There is not over 5 per cent of the by
product coke oven capacity of the coun-
try that is not now equipped with ben
zol recovery plants, and the by-product
coking plants now under construction
have either contracted for benzol re-
covery equipment OF indicated a strong
probability that such provision will

DRILL HOLES THROUGH ICE
Seals Necessity of Obtaining Air In
Winter Calls for Tedious and
Constant Labor.

1t is probable that not one person in
a thousand knows how the seal of the
far North gets air when the Arctic
ocean is entirely covered with many
feet of Ice.
The small, spotted seal, which is a
hair seal, and not a fur-bearer, is the
hardy dweller of the northern waters.
Under his tough, thick skin he has an
inch or more of blubber. When the
ice closes up the open water lin the
Arctic, the seal selects a spot and be-
gins to drill a hole TO the surface by
pressing his warn ose against the
ice. Nobody knows how many hours
it takes him to accomplish his task,
but he manages it; and although he is
obliged to work most Of the time, be-
cause the surface of the hole is con-
tinually freezing, he keeps it open all
winter, and obtains air.
Seals have been known to drill in
this through 80 feet of solid
ice. Whether or not they take turns
In the slow drilling is not positively
known.
1t is at these "seal holes that the
polar bear seeks food In the winter,
and there the Eskimo waits, spear in
hand, for his weekly supply of meat.
