STUCK NOSE IN SAND Steamer Northeastern Pound ing to Pieces Off Hatteras, ENTIRE CREW WAS RESCUED Waves Extinguish Fires Under BoU ers, and Peril of Death From Igni tion of Load of Petroleum Is Averted. NORFOUK. Va.. Dec. 29. After being Imprisoned on the wrecked oil steamer JCortheastern nine miles off Cape Hat teras for 3G hours. Captain Wilder and Ms crew of 21 men wore taken ashore at noon today bj' the orews of the Kin rakect. Creeds Hill and Hatteras Life bavin g Stations. The bis stoamor is pqundiner on I'lamohd Shoals under a ferrific sea, and the rew sa she will be a total loss. In a bewildering: storm of Tues day night the Northeastern, on her waj- up the Coast 'from Port Arthur, tx.. to New York, with a cargo of t rudo potroloum, shoved her prow into the deadly sand off Hatteras and was fsst In. the clutches of the. .graveyard cf shipping ,boforo hoc' crew realized wjial Tiad happened. It was 11 o'clock and before day had come the galo that had swept over the country from the Mlddlo West had struck the steamer, and waves were crashing over the helpless vessel con stantly. The force of the wind and water threw her on her port beam and the flood of water extinguished her fres before her inflammable cargo muld become ignited. Had this not been the case, the 22 men aboard the Northeastern would have met a hor rible fate. When the morning dawned the wreck was sighted by life-savers in the w&thor observatory at Hatteras. She was nine miles off shore and the water between was a seething mass of moun tainous waves.- The crews of the ("reeds Hill and Kinnakcet life-saving Ftatiois were summoned and this morn 1rg the life-savors began their at tempts t got a boat through the heavy seas. After a three hours' struggle, at D o'clock throe lifeboats were safely across the breakers and battling with the outside sous on their way to the steamer. Lines wore strung between the boats 2nd the Northeastern, and after much trouble every man was taken from the essel in safety. Over six hours were consumed bofore tho first of the boats reached fihoro -again. The Northeastern is an ocean steam ship, built of steel In Chicago In 1901, and is owned by C. Counselman, of Cincinnati. DRUMELZIER IS A WRECK. Captain Abandons Her When Danger Becomes Too Great. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. With her signals of distress and her half-masted ensign still flying, the steamer Drumelzler was abandoned tonight as a total wreck by her captain, and a dozen of the ship's crew were taken off by tho craft and landed on Oak Island by the crew of the Fire Island and Oak Island lifesavlng stations. Early In the day 18 men of the crew were taken off the stranded steamer by the surfboat of the Sandy Hook station, which was towed down to the scene. The men were brought to this city later on a tug. Captain Nicholson, Chief Engineer Wood and a number of officers and crew decided to remain on board until officially notified that the vessel had been placed in the hands of the wrecking company, in order to obviate any claim for salvage on the derolict. At 4:30 o'clock In the afternoon the captain decided that It was unwise to remain longer on the ship, which was being terribly buffeted by the heavy seas, and asked immediate rescue from the crews of the near-by stations, who at once responded to his signals, and, after a hard struggle, the men were taken oft and landed at Oak Island. The rescue of the men on tho Drumel zicr was hazardous in the extreme, and was attended by many thrilling Incidents. The Drumelzler was a total loss, al though It is believed part of her cargo can be 'saved, 'If the weather holds good, as the hull Is firmly imbedded in the sand. The steamer'3 back is broken di rectly tacross under har-boiler-room,. and this has raised her engines about six feet. Of the disaster Captain Nicholson says: "All I4-can say is that In a blinding snowstorm wc got out of our "reckoning and the first thing I knew wc hauled up on the lar while running 12 knots an hour." , LETCHER ARIVES Itf OHIO.

THIRD REGIMENT PARADE BRAVE SHOWING MADE BY PORT LAND'S CRACK TROOPS. Quarterly Military Function Held Last Evening an Unusually Auspicious Event. Portland's contingent of Uncle Sam's soldiers-ln-waltlng held the fort last night at the Armory when they appeared for their quarterly Inspection before Colo nel C. U. Gantenbeln. They presented a brave front, not alone because -they wero to be undor tho Inspecting eye of their commanding officer, but because the sol dier sweetheart was there also. Long before the "assembly" was sound- merry party held the floor until ti. late hour. In speaking of the efficiency of the regiment Colonel Gantenbeln said: "I am moe than pleased with the result of the work of the officers and men of the Third Infantry, and by the terra work I mean all that goes Into the making of a soldier, drill, disci pline and at the target range I feel proud In saying that I doubt very much If the record of our boj-s can be more than equaled In any of the state military organizations of our country. That our members arc thoroughly in terested in the work of the guard is clearly shown by the increased at tendance, not only at what might bo termed special events, but at the ordi nary weekly routine drills. The most pleasing commendation of this fact that we have received is the lato re port of the Secertary of War, which. In giving a tabulated statement cov ering tho percentage of attendance of the different state troops of the United States places Oregon in the seventh position.

Address The Oregon San, Portland, Or. ed by the trumpeters the galleries of the Armory were filled with admirers of America's volunteers, and the fact that their boys In blue meet with the com mon derision of "play-soldlera" made them none the less enthusiastic When tho regiment swung into the drill hall with true martial tread, led by In spiring music, it fully repaid those who had braved the rainy night to see it. Before the muster, a review of the troops was hold with Colonel C. U. Gan tenbeln and staff as reviewing officers. Then followed the regular Inspection. Colonel Gantenbeln, the Inspecting of ficer, was well pleased with tho showing of the men. as regards drill and equip ment, but of the uniform In particular he spoke in no uncertain voice. As he ex plained the uniform now worn by tho guard is at least five years old and can not bo expected to be serviceable at this time, and it is now in such condition that an entirely now equipment, as regards clothing.

A pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation, after the inspection, to Company C of the Third Regiment trophy for the best record for the year on the targot range This trophy was. put up for such contests, with the provision that tho company winning It three times should be the permanent holder. So far it has been contested for but twice. Company F winning It the first time. Colonel Ganten beln, In a well-wishing address, present ed the trophy to Company C. Immediately following the Inspec tion, the regiment tendered a bop to their, friends, the direction of which was delegated to Company K. The reg imental band furnished music and a ered that the increase In efficiency I3 proportionate to the increase in at tendance one can see why wc should feel proud. The only thing I ask from the members of the regiment which I have the honor to command is that thoy will maintain the high efficiency which they have shown so far."
