MANY LIVES IN GREAT PERIL. THE EIDEK RUNS AGROUND, She Tries to Pass the Inte of Wight on Her Left Instead of Her Right. Loxpox, Feb. 1.—The steamship Eider of the North German Lioyd Steamsiip Company, Capt, Heinecke, Bremen on January 23, went ashore during the past night on the Atherficld rocks, nine miles west of Ventor, Isle of Wight. The Eider lies in a pretty comfortable posi- tion, in clove proximity to the cuast guard sta: tion. The coast dsmen eed the fog whistle of a big steamship blowing during the night, but as there are so many vessels passing up and dowa the channel no danger was antic- ipated until euddenly rockets were scen to flare upward through the night, mist and fog 4nd then a steamsiup's whistle was beard blow- ing the long, uninterrupted note of distress. She entire coast guard crew was immediately summoned and the neighboring stations were promptly notified to send reinforcements to the spot. The life boat of the coast guard sta~ tion ‘near Atherfield rocks was then manned and run out through the surf. By this time rocket after rocket was being seut up by the steamship in dis- tress, thus guiding the coast guard Ilfe boat to the spot where she was achore. A tre- mendous sea was running as the 1:fe boat put to sea and, in addition, it was bitterly cold, the wind freezing the water upon tho jife savers’ boat oars and oilskins. The sea was so heavy that, as this dispatch is sent, the lile fooat has hot succeeded in reuching the steamship. As the fog began to clear away early this morning the life boat was seen still gallantly straggling to reach the Eider, over whicl | vessel the foam of heavy seas was breaking. It is believed, however, that the life savers will lo to rescue ali the crew and passengers even if the steamship is unable to get off. It is impossible at this cabling to form any definite idea of the amount of damage done. Nor can the situation be more accurately summed.up than to say that the Eider is ashore on a dangerous coast and that every- thing possible will be done to assist ber. HoW SHE aissEy THE LGHT. It is e¥ident that the Eider missed the Needles light while making for the Solent or water between the Isle of Wight and the main- land of England. ‘The Eider being bound for Southampton, directly behind or inside the Isle of Wight, she would first make the Needles light off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight and would then leave it on her starboard side and head for the Solent and Southampton waters. Not making this light in the darkness and fog, and perhaps being slightly out of her reckon. ig the Eider must have apparently left the Needles on the port side and have continued heading down channel until she brought upon the Atherfield rocks, which, as already stated, are nine miles westof Ventnor. But as Ventnor is about the most southern extremity of the Isle of Wight and the@eedles are about off its most westerly point, at will be seen that the Eider must have been much outof her course to have run ashore where she did In other words, to explain the situation in landsman style, the Eider passed to the right of the Isle of Wight instead of to the left of it, quite an important difference, it will be admitted. GALE INCREASING. Later.—As this cable message is forwarded the gale is increasing in violence and heavy seas are continually breaking over the Eider. Several tugs and life boats from Ventnor, Yar- mouth, Chale, St. Catherines and other places have managed to reach her and are doing everything possible to assist the steamer; but her ‘situation is becoming more critical every hour. The tugs and life boats have managed to take off the mails and have landed them at Atherfield. From this fact it is believed that the ngers are ail safe. e Eider is 2,950 tons and 5,200 horse power. She was built at Glasgow in 1883 by John Elder & Co., and is cousidered wi ever; y to be a first-class ocean pansenger vessel, has four decks, is bark-rigged and was last surveyed in February, 1891, TRE WRECK OF THE EURYDICE. The spot where the Eider is ashore is not far from where, in the autumn of 1878, on a calm Sunday afternoon, H. M. 8. Eurydice, a British government training, ebip, while, retarning from a cruise in the Pacific’ and West Indies, capsized ina sudden squall and drowned 400 men. The Eurydice, when the squall «truck her, had her portholes open on account of the fine weather und was 60 close to Iand, to use a Seaman's phrase, that you “could chuck a bis- cuit ashore,” yet nearly every soul on board the ship was drowned. Particulars gathered during the day in re- gard to the stranding of the Eider show that she ran on the rocks at about 10 o'clock last night. At that hour the sea was calm, but the fog was 60 thick that her officers were unable to see half the length of the ship ahead. The load and steam whistle were kept going und the engines were slowed down until the steamship may be raid to have been fecling her way toward the lights she wanted to make before heading for the Solent and Southampton waters, It was while hunting for the Needles passage that the Eider without any warning suddenly shook from etem to stern, and then, with a long, terrible, rasping, grating quivec, brought up on the Atheriicld rocks, as already stated. ‘the suddenness with which the steamship ran ashore can be judged from the fact that the hand lead was kept going on in the waist while the patout lead was hove over her quarter and that both reported plenty of water until almost the instant the steamship Ascexe oF TERROR. ‘Then « scene of terror followed; the pas- songers rashed on deck in their night clothes or partly dressed, and were hos calmed by the ship's officors, who assured them Shut theca wen 0 Ganger., Women and. oh Gren cried piteously, and the ‘male tere much tla med but were prevailed upon to Tovurn to thelr cabins aud muuke the preparations to abandon the ship should such be found necessary. * fn the meanwhile Capt.

The drencl | hatt-crowned passengers and life savers were rtily cheered upon landing and received istance from those gathered to wal come them. Three more life boats by the time the thir tecn passcngers were landed had made (or the Eider, and several tugs were also steaming to her. but the latter were unable to copes near enough to her to be of any assistance, owing to the fact that the steamship was ere dled in a*pot surrounded on all sides by danger- ous rocks which were so close together that even the light-draft life boats experienced the utmost dificulty in getting near enough to the distressed vessel to permit of passengers and mail bags being swung off into them. Asis got off at the wrous infor- jed to the effect that all the mails wore saved Laving been based on erroneous im- formation. AN APPEAL FoR nenr. The Fider soon after signaled that the water was rising fast in her hold and appealed for more help. Everything possible ie being done for her. More tugs and hfe boats are strug- gling to reach her, but the cruel rocks about d with the heavy sea and terrible . prevent these craft from reaching her, and it ts now feared that the Eider is doomed to destruction and that there will be serious loss of life among her passengers ahd crew unless the gale soon abates. Tho scene off Athertieid is grandly terrible, On o reef of rocks, surrounded by numbers of er tocks, lies the steamship Eider, ber for assistance fluttering in the gale as sea, alter sca breaks over her with fearfully pound- | ing regularity, and so shaking ber frame that het bottom must be slowly but surely grindit to picces. Upon her decks are gather het terrified passengers and the crew who, with the officers, are doing their utmost to maintain order among the stccrage passengers, of whom. there are about 200 on board. The cabin pas- sengers are fow in number, according to report, Indeed, it is said that there are not more than 800 people all told on board. The "# Cargo Consists of a lange consign- ment of cotton for English and German manu. facturora, Asx the day wears on the news from the Eider becomes more aud more scrivus. She is now firing minute guns of distress, On shore the coast guardsmen have edly shot the rocket line bull, chain and line in the direction of the steamship, but each time | the line bas fallen short of the mark. This fai.ure to throw the line over the | steamer is due not only to the distance she lies | off shore, but to the strength of the wind, which is blowing dead in the teeth of the life savers. ASKING FOR RELP. Assistance has been telegraphed for to all neighboring points and the North German Lloyd agents at Southampton are exerting themselves to the utmost in their efforts to save the lives of the passengers and crew, and, if possible, to save the ship and her cargo. Several powerful tugs have been dis- patched from Southampton to the scene of the wreck and two of the most powertul gowern- ment ocean tugs have been sent from Porte. mouth by order of the admiralty authorities and have now reached the rocks in the midst of which the Eider is being slowly ground to Ge- struction. ‘The life boats throughout the morning con- tinued their gallant efforts to battle successtully With the wind. waves aud rocks, and at least one more boat is nowknown tohave managed to get alongede the imperiled steamer.

Contractor Gleason Begins the Work of Ex- cavation With a Good Force, A hole is rapidly being dug in the square on which the new city post oftice is to be built, Contractor Gleason having begun work early | this morning. The soil is still soft from the recent rains and snows, but the shortness of the time in which the work is tobe done—two months—renders it imperative that every fair day shall be wtil- ized to the fullest extent, especially as the chances are rather against good weather at this time of the year, But the contractor has promised the government thst be will havo the hole ready for building operations by April 1, and as an earnest of his intention he bed 200 men and seventy borses at work by 7 o'clock this morning. The horses were gaily decked with new American flags in honor of the character of the work. Before the teams had commenced haul- ing the dirt away there were two or three hun- dred men at the gates and in the square seeking employment, but Mr. Gleason had made all ‘of his plans ond had bired ail his beip. He is using his own stock and regular bands just now, but in a few days he will probably be able to double his force when the ground has been smoothed off so that the carts can get in and out easily, and then there may be employment for more mem and carts. The force now at work consists of fifty men on the ground, thirty carts and eighteen wag- ops, besider to gang plows and “a force of e about «dozen men at Long bridge where the dirt is being dumped, ‘The soil ou the square is mostly filling, but Little of at being the original surface, apd thus it will be very eaxily excavated. The difticulty will ariso from the rains, but the lurge sewer that runs through the square will proably suftice for all the necessary drainage. ‘The fence is almost finished, and the are being lung with ali possible speed. “This contract can easily be finished by the end of this week, when the time allowed Mr. Walker expires, unless there should be an unfortunate period of rain or snow. ———-_-_____ THE BOYD THAYER CASE.
