spector Of the Life Saving Service on the
North Carolina coast, makes report in re- |
ation to the loss of tho Huron, showing |
that Evan ONeill, fisherman of Nags
Head, discovered the Huron coming on the
shore at 80 on the morning of the disas-
ter. She driftcd and pounded along the
outer edge of the bar, and finally struck
hroadside on the head. He heard shouts
and screams on board the stranded vessel,
and saw rockets go up followed by burning
signals from end to end, so that even the
light rigging and men could be plainly seen.
| A boat on the starboard side, full of men.
disappeared when the foremast fell. Shout
| ing and screaming continued, and in about
an hour and Il quarter after he first discov-
cred the ship, signaling ceased and all was
darkness. O'Neill then went home ate his
breakfast, and did not return to the wreck
until after sunrise. He knew where the
keeper of the life saving station lived, only
two and half miles distant had good
boat, n free wind to go and return inside OF
Roanoke Island, and yet he remained silent
and Indifferent for three hours. The report
concludes: 1T is shocking to record that

wouldbe deemed relic by relatives ef the
dead, was found on the bodies. Watches,
chains, money, and even fnger-rings had
been stripped off by those who first found
the bodies. as they washed up. Good evil
dence is found in the case of Lieut.. SimOns,
whose third and fourth fingers OF the left
, hand had been scratched and gouged by
the body robbers In their haste to secure
f their il-gotten booty"
