CALLS Ocean Greyhound Abandoned (n Off Stene Harber Other Craft Are Standing By STARTED BY OIL IS THEORY; NO PASSENGERS ABOARD Mishaps Have Followed Life of Northern Pacific While bound down the Delaware for its official trial trip off the Maine coast In February, 1015, the steamer went aground below League Island. A smallpox epidemic broke out aboard In April, 101S, when it made a record trip from this city te San Diege. It was placed under quaran tine there with Its 400 passengers. While being used as a troopship during the war the Northern Pa cific, carrying 2400 American offi cers and soldiers returning from France, went aground January 1, 1010, at Fire Island, L. I., In a dense fog and rain. Among the pas sengers were 1744 casualties, and the coast guards had hard work in taking them off. In the Bummer of 1020 ship went aground in the harbor of San Juan, Perte Rice, and clogged up the har bor for several days.' The Admiral liner Northern Pa- ','clflc, formerly an army transport, was burned early this- morning twenty miles off the New 'Jersey ;i .coast, and eight miles east of Stene V Harber. This is near Cape May. The ship carried a skeleton crew, under 'Captain A. O. Lusfig,1 Hct war-time commander. She had ;;' sailed last nigh from Hoboken for Chester Pa., where she was te have 'iJVl VV AHOVCdV HOilllgW ettaa 11 Jf we American flag. The latest message from the wreck was, sent by the rescue steam ship Transportation as follews: "Twenty-two members of ship's crew new en beard. Five en tanker Herbert G. Wylie. That accounts for all hands of crew. Ship new burning throughout length. Impos sible te beard at this time." This apparently fixes the number of the skeleton crew at twenty seven. ,Qther reports are that she carried seventy-flve'men. The Trans portation wirelessed that the Wylie, a tanker bound north from Tampico, had steed by the burning vessel un til daylight, looking for four men, empleyes of the Sun Shipbuilding Company, Chester, who-apparently are net included among these' ac-' counted for. One of them is a Phil adelphian. These May Be Victims The four Sun Shipbuilding em em peoyes are: W. J. Mallett, New Yerk, drafts man. T. J. Teckmaa, New Yerk, drafts man. H. Cruger, Wilmington, Del., car penter. R. J. Hall, 5623 Cedar avenue, Philadelphia, draftsman. The Sun empleyes had been sent aboard te make preliminary studies and plans for the refitting of the ship, which was te have been done at the expense of $360,000 at the Sun plant.
