Northern Pacific Goes Aground Off Fire Island WOUNDED MEN ABOARD NEW YORK, Jan. 1 — Pounded by steadily rising seas, the American hospita transport Northern Pacific with 2,920 troops, wounded men and crew aboard, lay broadside onto the sandy Fire Island shore this after- noon while repeated attempts were made to rescue her hu- man cargo. Poking its way thru a blinding fog, the homecoming transport ran ashore in the blackest hours of early morning, between 2 and 3 o'clock Perfect order was maintained. A fleet of 29 vessels dashed out to aid. This flotilla included the hospital ship Solace and the cruisers Colum bla and Des Moines. All their ef- forts to get a small boat over the heavy’ wurf to the Northern Pacific failed. Of the 1,744 wounded aboard, many are bedridden. It will be « hazardous undertaking to remove them. Yet, it is underst be attempted if the tr: floated today. The first effort to drag her into deep water was unsuccess ful, altho eight tugs hauled at the lines. Another will be nade tonight. During the day, however, the sea had risen higher and the 8,000-ton liner had been driven deeper into the sand. She was so firmly em bedded. lying lengthwise along the bar, that naval officers believed there was slight immediate danger of her breaking up or keeling over at low tide. The ship was broadside to the surf, about 600 yards off shore two miles east of Fire Island light.
