Firing Guns and Showing Signal Lights
on the New Jersey Coast.
POINT PLEASANT, Dec. 14r-At 6 o'clock
tonight the crew Of Life Station No. were
startled by the sound OF gun at sea. Soon a
bright signal light was shown. and then an
other shotiwas fired. Some vessel was In dis
tress. Lights were shown IN succession and
guns fired from the vessel every few minutes.
The surf was SO high 1t would have been
madness TO put out with a boat. The only
thing the life saving crew could do was to tele-
phone to Sandy Hook for assistance. This
they did. Hours passed. and up to 9h o'clock
no assistance had arrived. The life saving
men answered the signal lights from the vessel
each time. A wrecking company OF New York
was asked TO send assistance.
Rhe vessels safety depends entirely on the
storm. IL the storm increases they may be
obliged to let her come ashore. She is about
600 yards from shore, and Is large craft,
schooner rugged. 1t is possible she may be the
victim OF collision.
The tug Haviland started last night to go to
the vessels assistance
just before ! o'clock this morning a de-
spatch from Sandy Hook announced that the
vessel had been showing the distress signals
while at anchor. The tug had not been seen
near the vessel at that time.
