SHIP WENT DOWN OFF SABLE ISLAND American Sailers Made Gallant Rea cue at Horm Swept Veasel's Side, Risking Their Lives Again and Agwia. BOSTON, March 10 Suffering. wen- tal and physical, and numerous acts of hereism in saving life rarcly exampled fu the grim record of tragedies of the sen attended the losa of the Phenix Hine steamer British King, which in a raging Atlantic storm foundered about 130 miles south of Sable hisud and carried to death (weuly seven mem bers of the crew. Thirteen Ineo were rescued from the sinking vessel Ly the Leyland line steamer Bostoulsn, bound from Man- chester to Boatom, and eleveu by the German tank steamer Maunbeim, Rot- terdama for New York. Five others who Bad been sucked down la the vor tex into which the British King was suguifed were picked up by the Bos tonian from a frail bit of wreckage which they bad grasped after a des perate struggle for life in the whirl pool. When the Bostonian arrived bere the detalls of the disaster became known, Captain James O'Hagan of the Brit. ish Kiug died en board the Bostonian from the effects of terrible injuries sustaiued in trying to save Lis ship The rescued who were brought here include James Flanigan, the second of- ficer; J. D. Crawford, the chief engi- ueer; Adolphus Beck, the fourth engl- neer, and William J. Curry, the stew ard. The others were coal passers and sailors, mostly Belgians and oue stow- away, Henry Parkotch of New York. During the storm the ship sprang a leak, and at the eud of three days, whet all baods had labored st the pumps ceaselessly without rest and with little food, the Bostoulan and Mannheim were sighted, and to these Captain O'Hagan displayed the signal for assistanee Realizing the necessity of quick ac tion, Captain O'Hagan hluiself went late the ship's bold and strove to re pair the leaks. [t was while doing this that a barrel of oll fractured vue of hia legs in two places. The lujury was so severe that a piece of the bone pro truded through the flesh. In spite of this Injury and iu spite of internal hurts caused by his fall Captain O'Hagan refused to be carried to his cabin. He ordered that his leg be bound up, and when this had been doue be resumed comand and direct. ed the efforts which were belong made to plug up the hole In the ship's side. The wen of the British King were brave, for during the rescue they push od one another forward, all apparently willisg to walt for the last chance of being saved. They almost overloaded the small beat, which after a danger- ous passage reached the Maunbeln iu safety. Whether the Manubelim bad lowered other boats which bad been stove In was not known, although sur vivers of the lost steater say that this bappened. Ballors of the Bostonian vied with sch other for the honor of sitting Io the lifeboat and were not deterred from this when the first boat was dash. od to pleces agaiust the steamer’s stern. First Officer Willlam Brown and six seamen with bim were left struggling io the water, but eventually the lives of every ope of them were preserved by means of lines thrown from the Leyland boat. Many were wounded and bruised Twe lifeboats from the Bostonian were cvuahed to fragments, and the volunteer crews which wanned them seas while engaged In the work of res cue, but all were safely landed on board the steamer. Wheu the first lifeboat was lowered from the Bostonian the small craft was swept against the stern of the big ship and destroyed, and several of the feamen were bruised and malmed. Yet despite the boisterous condition of the sea the veluntears were rescued by lines thrown out from their steamer. A second attempt to reach the sink- ing ship was successful, snd thirteen men, Including Captain O'Hagan, were taken from the British Klug to the Bostenlau. Then sgalu a powerful bil low oasried the lifeboat against the side of the ship aud destroyed it, und the life savers were throwu into the 50a, to be rescued only after au bLours effort by their comrades. Volunteers from the Maunbeln after & heroic battle with the waves had taken off eleven from the British King, but after this neither of the steam- ors in consequence of the increasiug gale could make an attempt to reach the foundering freighter. Moreover, darkness fell, and it was an utter im- possibllity to do else Lut wait for the moonlight to guide thew to the strick. ea ship. In this darkness the British which was then waterlogged and hel plunged down bew first and was lost te view forever. On the deck of the Bostonian a touch- ing scele was wituessed. Iu a pine box lay the body of Captain O'Hagan. Covering the box was the British flag, nud pear by stood the survivors of the British King. The body was taken asbore before dark. As the captain's body was swung over the side one of the men removed Lis bat and his head ASSASSING PLOT. J. Plerpont Morgan, His Son snd Dv, Parkhurst Marked For Death. NEW YORK, March 15. Alleged plots to assassinate J. Plerpont Mor Ban, bis sou aud the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst bave come to light here and created quite a stir The threat against the lives of the financier and Lis son was made by a woman, who Is under arrest and is be Heved to Ue a crank. That slmed at Dr. Parkhurst grows out of his activi ty as head of the Society For the Pre vention of Crime, and rumor Involves former policemen who were dismissed from the force as a result of the so clety's raids over their heads and friends of these men. An Englishwoman giving the name of Mrs. C. B Wllllams and apparently deranged was arrested In Wall street charged with threatening to kill J. P. Morgan. She sppeared In Mr. Morgan's office and aupoyed the occupants by her threats against the life of Mr. Morgan. Former Assistant Distriet Attorney Lord procured a warrant for ber ar rest, and she was Induced to get Inte & cab and was driven to the police court.
