ALL HANDS ASHORE SAFELY. Clyde Liner May Yet Be Saved From the Rocks Off Ditch Plain, Montauk. (Special to the Eagle I Easthampton. L. July 20 Saturday was an exciting day on tho rock-bound shore of Montauk, just east of the Ditch Plain life-saving station, where the big Iron Clyde liner Chippewa lay broadside to the sea astride of a big rock.

The steamer came ashore on June 23. and from that day until last Saturday the work of lightering her and Installing pumping machinery had gone steadily on without a moment's interruption duo to stress of weather. The life savers Bay they never before knew of such a long period when tho work could be carried on in the surf on that rocky coast. The Merrltt -Chapman Wrecking Com pany had installed about $40,000 worth of machinery In the steamer, and al rangements were completed for an att to float her yesterday. Most of the cargo had been taken off.

All the live stock was removed and shipped to Boston a few days after the steamer struck. Saturday morning the surf began to rise, and by noon waves were washing completely over the Chippewa. The temporary living quarters of the captain and crew, on the deck of the boat, were swept away. Captain Macbeth signaled to shore for help, and then he and the crew were obliged lo take lo the rigging. Captain Carl Hedges of the Ditch Plain life-saving station got out his beach gun and apparatus, and with the aid of Phineas Dickson and his boarders, succeeded In hauling it lo the scene of the wreck.

Boarders from the Montauk Inn. Including a number of women, had by that time arrived, and all hands aided in erecting the breeches buoy line between the top of the cliff and the steamer, which lay 1,400 feet off shore. There were twenty-four men perched In the rigging of the ship, and every incoming roller drenched them, for the st. amer was rolling badly. The sea had now become so rough that the people on the cliffs fortyjeet high were w.t the spray from the waves a6 they dashed on the rocks below.

High Prices Did Not Matter, If They Could Only Get Into the Water. Records Broken. It was roughly estimated this morning by the proprietors of some of the bathing establishments at Coney Island that fully 6,000 persons were turned away yesterday when they sought a bathing suit or house. The day proved to be, in almost every case, the biggest of the year and far greater than any one day, including Sundays and holidays last year. The disappointed ones tried to get accommodations at Brighton the Parkway, and even went over to Ulmer Park and Bath Beach, but after waiting for hours and seemingly with no chanco of getting Into the water they went back to their homes.

The pro prietors discussed somo time ago by some of tho business men at Coney Island to have the city construct and establish a free bathing pavilion on the city property now a part of Seaside Park and extending from the foot of West Fifth street Ocean Parkway has been revived. I does not meet with the approval of thi proprietors of the present establishments turally, who del lare their businesses mid ho i ill) Others building of a free bathing pavilion would attract a cheap claBs of people to Coney Island who would not have any money to spend and who would soon tako complete possession of Seaside Park surroundimrs.

A rush was made for the beaches as soon as the trains pulled into the terminals and long before noon a bath house was not to be had at many of the establishments. The remarkable weather so far this season has proved a mine for the people doing builness along the ocean front, and many of the proprietors "boosted the price." as or them put it, figuring the public Id pay It rather than swelter. It proved that the public made little ohiee-tion. but it was hard for the proprietors half-dollars and dollars go away because the crowd could not be accommodated.
