SHIP WANDERING JEW. The ocean tug
Triton left Boston at t O'Clock Saturday
afternoon with the 100 ton ship Wandering
Jew, Capt. McGilvery, for New York. With
the heavy northwest winds then blowing
she made about eight knots per hour until
the Nantucket shoals We're reached, having
rounded Pollock rip, and with a fair tide the
powerful tug was unable to make any head
way against the wind, which by this time
had reached hurricane velocity. The ships
hawser soon parted and she anchored about
midway between the Handkerchief lightship
and Great Point in seven fathomS of water
The captain of the tug reported the ship as
well equipped, having full crew of eighteen
men, and said she would ride out the gale
with safety. A Chatham DIES patch of the 10Th
reported the ship still at anchor, with the
wind \. w. a gale.
DISASTERS ETC. The English tramp
steamer Euergia, commanded by Captain
Stokes, ran down and cut almost in two the
coasting schooner Wild Pigeon, commanded
by Captain Lunt, in Swash channel, New
York, last Thursday. The Wild Pigeon is
367 tons and was built in Mystic, Ct, in
1884. She was in Belfast harbor last fall
1ays lo1aO Sch William
Butman, Fitzgerald, of and for Thomaston,
in ballast, was ashore on SucconeSSet ShOal
Vineyard Sound. The steam tugs Elsie and
Mercury Went to her assistance. While the
hawser was being made fast the schooner
hoated uninured and proceeded. Schoon-
er Helen of Vineyard Haven, Capt. O. W.
Chapman, reported last week damaged by
being ashore at the mouth of keag river,
While getting away with a cargo of paving
from Mex night 4 Co. South Thomaston for
New York, was brought to Rockland and
discharged at North railway wharf. She
was then taken out on the'railway, and it
was found that 40 feet OF her keel was gone
and her keelson broken in three places. 1t
Will necessItate quite Il job of repairs, and the
granite Will probably be forwarded by an
other vessel.
WRECK OF THE CHARLOTTE FISH. The two
masted schooner Charlotte Fish, Capt. F. Il.
Pendltton of Isleshoro, Me. With cargo of
coal from Perth AmboN for Portsmouth left
Vineyard Haven on the morning Of Dec. 10Th
for her destination with fair wind, hnt after
going round tile cape encountered Very bad
weather and was compelled to put back TO-
wards Ii yanns for harbor, but while beating
over the shoals ON Wednesday night her
sails We're blown away: and she was obliged
to anchor near the Handk erchit light-ship
right the trough of the sea. She lahored
heavily and soon sprung a leak. She was
! kept free with constant use of both pumps.
On Thursday the gale increased, and the
vessel began dragging her anchors. They
J pumped all Thursday night and Friday. BY
+ this time the wind was blowing a hurricane
the leak increased and the weather i'll
/ tensely cold Distress signals We're burned all
Saturday morning, when the tug Triton
was seen making toward them. They wert
4 taken off and landed at Vineyard Haven the
crew saving little but their clothing. They
were rescued with much difficulty on ac
count of the high sea running. Capt. Pen
dleton says it would have been impossi bic tt
have escaped an hour longer, as the vesse
was fast filling and the crew We're nearly eN
hausted. They expected to be lost if tht
vessel sank, as they could not live in an opel
boat any length of time owing to the sea ant
cold. Capt. Halves of the Triton says the
unfortunate fellows aboard the Fish Were
certainly desolate looking. When he arriv
ed upon the scene the vessels sails We're al
torn to ribbons, the United States ensigl
with the union down, flying at the main
topmast, which is used for signal of dis
tress during daylight, was almost all whip
ped to shreds. The main boom would strik
