FROM The JAWS OF DEATH.
TUGBOATMEN SAVE PLUcKY SAIL
ORS FROM A SINKING VESSEL.
They Have Weeks of Misfortune and
Finally Lose Everything They Have and
Nearly Lose Tn cir Lives.


The schooner II. L. Slaght. with two
anchors holding her inside of Delaware
Bay. was wrecked yesterday, and her
crew only saved their lives by jumping
overheard and being dragged on board of
the tug Pilot. To the skill of Captain
Wilson, of the Pilot, the entire crew owe
their lives
The schooner under command of Cap
tain Albertson, left James River bound
to Philadelphia, thirty-six days ago
She had 80, 600 feet of pine lumber and
!, 900 railroad ties on board. From the
outset of the voyage misfortune seemed
to follow her. Gains and head winds
retarded her progress and the vessel put
into Newport News to replenish the
stores, as all hands had been placed on
half rations. Reaching the Delaware
capes it was decided to bring up and give
the worn-out crew a rest.
The anchor was let go Monday morn
ing off the Fourteen Fathom bank light
ship About ? p m. the wind, which had
been increasing, began to blow with the
force of a gale, and a second anchor was
let go. The sea began TO roll in from
the northwest in mountainous ridges anC
the deep-loaded schooner labored heavily
at her anchors. At p. m. an immense
wave piled up right on the port bow anC
virtually overwhelmed the craft, fol
when it had swept over her it left d
water-lOgged vessel with the shiverinl
crew clinging to the rigging. All pro
visions were spoiled, and the sailors
lashed themselves in various parts of th'
rigging after setting the ensign union a
a signal of distress. Shortly afterward
the tugboat Pilot appeared.
Owing to the heavy sea it was danger
Gus to get alongside, but she succeedei
in transferring all hands, The weathe
towards evening moderated, and it wa
suggested by Captain Albertson that al
effort should be made to save the schoone
Captain Wilson again went alongside an,
the crew were transferred to their Owl
vessel. They knocked the pins out O
the chain shcckles and got the tug
hawser ON board, and then the gale rage
up with redoubled fury. To get back t
the tug seemed a hopeless task.
At ~. 80 a. m, Tuesday things bega
to look serious, but Captain Wilso
determined on another effort. II
steamed close under the stern Of tn
waterlogged schooner and directed then
to let the mainboom swing out athwari
ships. Then an opportunity Offered
each man scrambled out on the boon
and watching a favorable oppoItunit,
dropped on the deck of the tug as sh
passed underneath. Captain Wilso
and his crew supplied the shipwrecke
mariners with dry clothes and h'
coffee, and lay by the derelict until Il
weather had moderated sufficiently {
allow of the taking of the schooner
tow. She was brought up to Hanovr
] street wharf. Philadelphia yesterday
! The Slaght was consigned TO h
owners, Messrs. J. c. McNorton al
company. Captain Albertson said tn
o but for the pluck md perseverance
q the crew Of the Pilot nothing cou
= have saved them from watery grave.
