tain Horace D. Baker and eight men), since
January I'd, at which time she was seen off
Point Lookout, trying to beat into harbor.
The body of man was also reported fond
lashed to spar on Smiths Island about a
week AFTER, and was supposed to be that of
Cap1aln BAKER. The owner of the vessel Mr.
Moore, made every effort to find out her fate.
and to-day received information that she had
sank in Hedges Straits, near Smiths Island.
The story is thrilling one. Thursday. the
"a, Will be remembered as day of intense
cold. Late IN the evening the residents of
omlth Island saw the masts of vessel above
the water ott shore. In the topmast could be
seen the form of a man making signals to those
on shore by shaking the sail. On account of
the violence of the gale it was imposs;hle to
render hln assistance, and night soon obscured
him from sight. Next day he was still in the
topmast and making signals, but without avail,
as no one would venture out. SATURDAY. and
sunday the same condition of affairs continued,
the efforts to attract attention orovinp fainter
after the sea went down, enabling those on
shore to reach the vessels masts
Ihe man in the top was dead, lashed to the
mast. The hull of the vessel was under water.
and on her deck, lashed down with ropes, were
seen through the clear water the bodies of nine
men, The corpse bound on the mast, who, it is
now thought, was Capt. Baker, was taken
down and buried on shore. The bodies of the
others were subsequently recovered and also
! buried on the shore. Near the sunken schooner
was the wreck of the steamer Express, which
told the cause of the unfortunate affair.
The Adamantine had been caught in a furious
gale and driven headlong before it. Unable to
saVe'themselves the crew had lashed themselves
to each convenient object, Captain Baker tax
| ing to the topmast. In this helpless condition
the vessel had run on the wreck of the ill-fated
Express, and gone down with her load Of human
freight The schooner was SO badly broken by
the ice and the collision, that no effort will be
made to raise her. The names of the eight men in
the crew are unknown, Though the ninth body
Is known to be that of hand on the schooner
Merchant who, being sick, had been placed on
board the Adamantine to be brought to Balti-
more.
Captain Baker was about fifty-fve wears old
and native of Philadelphia where he has a
wife and daughter living. The Adamantine
was valued at 81 500 and was uninsured. The
| cargo, which consisted of about 1850 bushels
