BRUNSWICK, GA, Dec 21.-The fours
nasted American schooner Carrie E. Cook

north breakers this morning at O'Clock,
during heavy fog, tipped on her beam

NEW BOAT.
The schooner was brand new, this being
her second trip. She hailed from Rockland,
Me-, and was bound light from New York
TO Brunswick to load crosstfes. She arrived
off ST Sfmonis light house at 2 o'clock, and
at 4 O'Clock Capt Cookson decided to come
IN. He thought he had bis bearings correct
from the light house. but the light could be
seen only indisttnctly, 1t being misty.
Capt Cookson brought upon the north
breaker and the vessel turned, tipping over
the stove and binnecle light, setting the
cabling on FIRE. The fire burned rapidly and
was unuosiced for awhile in the efforts to
get OF the breakers.
PULLING goR THE SHORE.
The entire end Of the boat was in flames
before it was discovered, and the boats
were hurriedly lowered, filled with men,
end pulled for the shore. A heavy sea was
cunning, and the boats were almost
swamped. Luckily the burning vessel had
been seen by the captain of the tug Iris at
st. Simons, who hurriedly put out for her.
He rescued the crew In time 70 save them
from being swamped BY the heavy seas.
later three tugs tried to save the hull, but
she had drifted 70 the southwark
OF the bar of Jellkyl, out of
she way of navigation, and
nothing was done. Capt Ccokson was at
no timo within two miles of the channel
and of course no blame is attached to the
Fbar or any one.
