ONE MAN SAVED.
Fate OF Nearly Forty OF the Ship Jsson's
Crew IL Unknown.

HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass. Dec. 6-Ths
British ship Jason, Captain MCMILLAN,
from Calcutta for Boston, went ashore last
night on Eastman. So far but one OF her
crew has been saved. and he was washed
from the rigging aud brought ashore by
the tremendous seas.
1t was after o'clock before the life-sav-
ing men were in readiness with their guns,
boats and life-lines. At that time pieces
OF boats, spars aud other wreekage were
coming ashore, and by the lights carried
by the patrolmen the great whte-crested
waves could be seen breaking all over the
ship
With the wreckage was discovered hu-
man body. and VIXEN it came up on the
beach lifesavers quickly sprang and
clutched IL. Stimulants were admin
istered, and in an hour he was able 10
talk.
His name was Samuel Evans. Accord
ing 10 his story, as soon as the officers
saw that all hope was gone the crew were
ordered TO the rigging Evans was cling
ing TO the lee rail when she struck, but
before he could reach place of safety in
the rigging he was swept away. At 1880
p. IN. one of the ships masts went by the
board, and IL was believed that she was
breaking up.
The life-saSers, after several unsuccess-
full attempts. succeeded in shooting liie-
line over the doomed ship, but the sailors,
who are believed to be in the rigging, did
not seem TO be able to secure it.
The sea is now thick and the night so
dark that there is no surety that there is
live person aboard.
The ship was. loaded with jute. There
were 81 men in the Jason's crew. She WIS
built at Andli and halls from Greenock,
Scot, and is Of l54o tons burden.
