By NEW YORK; December 29. The freight steamer Drumelzier is still ashore off Oak Island, beach, where she struck Sunday. The members of the crew can be seen standing under the steamer's bridge.

The big ocean going tug Kathefine Morgan left Sandy Hook before daylight today carrying the Sandy Hook life saving crew and towing their life boat for Fire Island in an attempt to take off the crew of the stranded steamer. Captain McLellan, inspector of the life saving service in this city, last night ordered the Sandy Hook crew to make a desperate effort to rescue the imperilled men and "to take their big boat for tat service.

The tug towing two serf boats of the Sandy Hook life saving station reached the Drumelzier this morning and sent a surf boat to the stranded steamer. Watchers on shore marvel that the crew has not succumbed to exposure or been washed overboard. All day yesterday the steamer was swept by mountainous waves that left only her funnel visible from Fire Island, and the chilly blasts of last night had coated her sides, deck and rigging with ice; The crew had not been taken off up to noon.
