PREPARING TO SAVE VESSEL Rescuers Face Death Constantly ": and Jake Desperate Chances J as Tney Toil in Severe Storm. . Fire Island. N. T.. Jan. 4 (U. P.) Only a skeleton crew remained on the . stranded transport Northern Pacific to night. The 1744 wounded, 710 other troops, and passengers and most of the 466 - navy sailors and officers had been safe ty removed. The troops were at Camp V Mills, the wounded scattered In several hospitals In and around New Tork. Wrecking operations were started late this afternoon. Hope of pulling the 'Northern Pacific into deep water has not been abandoned, but first she must be lightened by throwing overboard her -gvmn and other heavy movables. Great credit was given the navy, the coast guard and the army medical corps for taking more than 2500 persons off .the ship under the worst weather con ditions, without losing a single life. The rescuers faced death constantly, taking desperate chances, and suffered many hardships as they toiled on hour, after hour drenched with spray, in rain that u;nf into snow early today. , The" skies: cleared this afternoon, and .the sun came out for the first time since the Northern Pacific struck, i .The ship grounded shortly after 2 a. m. Wednesday. The worst suffering -aboard, it was said,, was when the auto matic -ventilator system was put out of commission by stoppage of the engines.' Wounded below decks then lacked fresh lr. - The strain was made harder - to Dear, jsaia coast guards, by the deaf eninglrrash of breakers against the side of the steamer. The noise and jar were stunning.- Finally drinking water' ran low. From first to last, the morale of the men in such deadly peril, many of them bedridden and helpless. Was un broken, j Tonight the sea was much calmer and danger of the,. Northern Pacific's going ; to pieces appeared to have passed for the present. Hoboken. N. J., Jan. 4. (U. P.) Carrying 424 wounded officers and men rescued from the transport Northern Pa cific, stranded off Fire Island, the navy hospital ship Solace arrived here late to night. The Solace brought in the last of the wounded men to be taken from the stranded vessel.
