HYDE, 2 SAVED FROM TOMB OF ICE Tug Rescues Lighthouse Keeper and Friend Clinging to Up- turned Rowboat in Kill Von Kull Two Hours, Clinging to the slde of an overturned boat and Mterally emtombed tn ice, two men were picked up in the Kill von Kull near Mariner's Harbor early to- day by the tugboat Medla, Capt, Edward Knott, of the tugboat, braved mountains of ice in order to nas, cue the men, and at one time It looked as if his stanch little steamer would be crushed to pieces. When he finally got the victims on board the boat he took them to Mariner's Harbor, Thera one was revived enough to say that ho was August Telberg, keeper of the light- house at Bergen Point, and that the man with him was a friend, Caught In Floes at Midnight, “I tried to take my friend home in that little rowboat,’ gasped Telberg. It was alinost suicide, but he wanted to get home, Wo left the lighthouse at midnight, The ice caught us. The boat was turned over, I don't remem- ber any more,” From this story Capt. Knott de- duced an incident of exposure to Ice, water and zero weather that seemed almost incredible, He knew that it was ‘three o'clock In the morning when he picked the men up, He figured they had been in the rowboat hardly an hour when the ice overturned it, Therefore the men must have been clinging to the boat fully two hours before rescued. When they were hauled out of the water and {ce they were apparently | frozen stiff. The only sign of life about them was a yery faint respiration. ‘They did not move a muscle for more than an hour after they had been res- cued, thelr fingers still retaining the death-like clutch they held on the keel of the overturned boat, Cap, Knott's boat was carrying a | long train of scows at the time he dis- covered the men, | By means of a laniern the crew of the lug saw two men clinging to the top of he small boat, ‘Die vietims apparently did not see thelr rescuers, Lowered to the Rescue, “Somebody'll have to go overboard | after them.” sald Knott, “Who'll vol unteer to tackle 10?" Every man of the crew promptly stepped fe ard, Knott slagled out John P, Gould and John J Grincs, Ropes were tied around. thelr | Walnly and they were lowered to the lee flelds, With great difeutty eh ay to the men who were y made thelr | clinging to | the overturned bow “Haut tem out quick, fellows.” shouted Wnott | “Wo're Ina bad spot here and afford to delay any,” n't haul ‘em out, Cap," came the MAN AND TEAM IN ICY RIVE One Horse Saved by Gorman, the Driver, Who Kept Cool Because Conditions Favored ‘Low Temperature.
