gansett lying IN the Sound of this place. is rapidly
breaking up There was brisk bretze from the
north this morning which transformed the blue
face of the Sound quickly into long ridges of white
caps. The waves forced open the charrcd tlmberS
of the wreck and good deal of the of the i'll
fated vessel fell out and floatcd away. The wreck
ers busted themselves in collecting tins floating
treasure and were aided without their consent by
fishermen, whose boats had been hoverlng about
