Then he saw a big wave coming, and
believed that they would be taken under.
Then it was that he gave what he thought
would be his last order, and shouted to
the men below, "We're gone for it boys;
push in the slide and keep the water out
of the forecastle if you can"
They were boarded by the great wave,
and washed by other waves, but not as
badly again. Captain Doughty kept his
place at the wheel, and took the schoon-
er over the shoals. 1t was all he could
do, but he has the satisfaction of know
ing that he saved not only his own life
and the lives of his crew. but his schoon-
CT.
The schooner George F. Kean came in
with the loss of her foresail. She re-
ported the Josephine Swanton as riding,
with cables out, head on when last seen.

and all had families. 1t is said that each

dren, so that now there are six widows
and at least twelve children who are
stricken with grief.
When the sad news of the disaster Twas

thetic to be described Mrs. Woodbury.,
the mother Of Capt. Woodbury., was COM
pletely Frustrated by the shock.
The grief at South Portland last even
ing was deep and general. eff you had
searched the whole Cape over you could

owed mother who has lost two other
sons within three months. Frederick R.
Mcintyre leaves widow and three young
children. Horace Upton leaves a wife
and four children, a boy of IS, another of
10 years, and two children quite young.
Mr.. Upton had just purchased of Mrs.

repairs before winter.
There was very general grief at South

families were kept busy all day receiving
calls from those who sympathized with
them.
The Mary Lizzie was sword fishing and
had obtained thirty-one fish before the
storm came on. The captain thought he
would get few more before coming in.
Notes
The schooner Julietta was exposed to
the full force of the great storm that
wrecked the Mary Lizzie, and there were
grave fears entertained for her safety,
but she came in yesterday afternoon
Capt. Mcfarland does not want to en-
counter another storm like it. His
schooner was badly pounded and it was
all he could do to keep her head on. The
Forest Maid has been reported, but the
Martha D. McLaine, Glad Tidings and
Annie Sargent remain to be heard from.
