THE ORDINANCE 7 SHIPS CIRCLE NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—With en steamships standing by, y a cable's length away, but powerless to render aid, 32 men drowned on the American tank steamship Oklahoma 60 miles off Sandy Hook early to- day. Capt. Guenter and seven members of his crew, out of the vessel's com- pany of 40, alone were saved Before the very eyes of the look- outs on the craft which surrounded it, the doomed ship broke in two. After Portion Sinks The after portion sunk like lead and all on board it perished By a miracle the fore part floated were eight men » were rescued The Oklahoma, owned by the J.

It would have been impossible to get them over- side and into the water, and it was doubtful if they would have lived in such a sea in any case Try to Form Breakwater Finally signalling to one another, the seven captains swung their ships around, end to end, in an ef- fort to form a breakwater, hoping thus to protect the Oklahoma from the buffeting of the waves. All night long, under just enough speed to give them steerageway, they circled slowly, in momentary danger of collision, but determined not to give up. Then {it was seen that but part of the Oklahoma, which had been seen only a smudge in the dark- ness, its lights having long been out, remained afloat Take Eight Men Off A small group of men still remain- ed on this floating fragment of deck, and fresh efforts were made to reach them with boats.
