Second Despatch.
The Manhattan came into this port yester-
day morning for shelter and started out,
presumably for New York, about O'Clock
this morning. The wind was blowing gale
and tremendous sea was running. Just
after passing the breakwater and getting in
to the full force of the gale blowing up the
sound she was seen by William King, an
oyster dealer, living at Oyster Point. He
watched her through glass and as she ap-
peared to be laborlng heavily and was evil
IDENTIFY in distress, he ran to telephone and
tried to notify some Of tugs in port. When
he returned the vessel was still to be seen
and in trouble. A few minute later, not over
three, she had disappeared and nothing
could be seen. He is of the opinion that she
went down with all ON board. He states
that under the most favorable circumstances
she could not have steamed out of sight in
side of 20 minutes. The tug Alert went
down to the breakwater this afternoon, but
was compelled to return without going out
side owing to the high wind and heavy sea.
There is no way OF positively confirming the
identity of the vessel tonight. or to obtain
full particulars as no tug in the harbor could
live through the search outside. Branford,
eight miles to the eastward, reports that
large quantity of wreckage is coming ashore
and strewn along the beach, for two miles.
1t consists Of woodwork, apparently inside
cabin work, breadstuff, biscuit, oil cans, etc.

number from 10 to 10 men, The Manhattan
