FIGHTING FIRE.
Schooner Annie D. Burned While
Fishing off the Georges.
The Crew, After a Desperate Fight,
Forced to the Dories.

GLOUCESTER, Feb. Schooner Clytie, of
this port, arrived home late last night with
Capt Silva and a crew of IA men, rescued
from the schooner Annie D., of this port,
which was burned at sea on Thursday, the
18th inst The following particulars are
CLEANED from Capt. Emmanuel Silva of the
lost schooner and the crew of the Clytie
On Wednesday, the Annie d. and the Clytie
left Gloucester for the Georges to fish. They
sailed along side by side. On Thursday
forenoon they were on the Georges Banks.
The crew of the Annie d. were busily en-
gagged batting the travis in anticipation of a
good haul, Capt. Silva was at the wheel,
where he had been for nearly four hours.
The Clytie was two or three miles off. Two
of the dories were engaged in traWling.
just before 10 O'Clock, Capt. Silva was re-
lieved by the cook, Frank Venance, who was
called to the wheel, Skipper Silva going into
the cabin to engage in a smoke He had
just sat down on the locker, when he heard
the cry of fire from one of the crew. At
that time ten men were in the hold. The fire
originated under the cooks berth, in the
forecastle, and quickly spread. The cook
undertook to go below, but did not go far,
burning his hands and singeing his face in
the ATTEMPT.
Near Where the fire started were four
torches, two side lights and feeder, with
two cans of kerosene. The fire was fed by
this combustible material, and made clouds
of black smoke issue forth. The color5
were hoisted union down. and the crew went
rapidly at work to quench the blaze. They
fought every inch of deck.
"For three hours we kept up the fight, y
said the captain, but the fire steadily
gained"
The captain held the deck until the safety
of his crew demanded retreat to the doTies,
which they boarded as the flames sped up
the masts. and they had commenced to fall,
the captain remaining till the deck was
burned away, and the sides to the waters
edge, the anchor dropping through the hull.
In fact, the fire had eaten away to the keel
sou.
The men were so exhausted that some of
them nearly dropped. A few minutes longer
and loss of life must have resulted. The
crew of the Clytie were in dories, and seeing
the fire hastened to the rescue, taking off the
entire crew Of the Annie d. The lost vessel
was owned by John Pew & Co., was built at
Essex in 1882, and was insured by the Glou-

HEAVY NOTE FoRcERIEs.
How Eckersdorff & Co. of Montreal
Carried on Business.

MONTREAL, Que, Feb. 20.-John S. Dyde
junior partner in the wholesale grocery firm
of Eekersdorff & Co. here, was committed to-
day to stand his trial at the next assizes for
forging notes, which the firm discounted in
the Bank Of British North America, where it
kept its account for some years past. When
the forgery was first discovered week ago.
Eckersdorff, the senior partner, absconded,
and detective from here is searching for
him in Boston, for which city he took ticket.
From inquiries made by the bank, it is found
that the firm has been carrying on business
for long time by forging the names Of Gus
toners, and then discounting the notes, the
Bank of British North America alone having
over a hundred such worthless notes, on
which advances to the extent of $4,000 have
been made. Other local banks and brokers
hold the firms paper to considerable
amount, but it is not known definitely yet
whether it is all forged. Suspicion was
aroused in the bank by the fact that the firm
always retired the notes when they matured
Eckersdorff is a German, and Dyde native
of this city, highly connected here.
