THE BARK ALICE WRECKED.
The Sea Smashed Her Lifeb0ai
and Drowned Four Seamen.
Her Grew Saved by the Breeches
Buoy Appliances.

A most exciting shipwreck occurred at
9:3O O'Clock few nights ago north OF Lie
Saving Station 81, which is thirty miles
south of Barnegat Inlet, of the New Jersey
coast. The weather was very thick, and the
pstrolmen could see but short distancs
ssaward. The second watch left the station
house at o'clock, and were walking back
ward and forward over their beat at about
II o'clock, when they made out the outlines
of q vessel flying head on toward the bar. :,
The uatrolmen ran to the station and
called Keeper Sprague, who called out his
crew and ran out the life saying appa-
ratus. The vessel, which when first seon
was less than a quarter OF mile on the
bar. had in the mean time stucs anu
ing over her. Her masts and rigging were
being carried away fast. The seas were
running 50 high that there was no hope Of
getting boat out to her. Keeper
. SpraRue ordered cut the Lyle gun
aud charged it. It was aimed well.
The guy line was shot across the bow OF the
vessel, and it was found and seized by the
vessels crew. and they hauled the heavy
cable to which the other end was attached
on board :. - The sand, anchor was buried by
the life savers and breeches buoy was sent
out. me VeSS6iS CROW "eto uouloA oouoAo
one by one. II was o'clock in the morning
when the last man got ashore.
The vessel proved to be the Norwegian
bark Alice, Captain Jacob jacobson. bound
from Dunkirk, France, for New York, in
ballast. The Captain reported that soon
after they struck and before the guy
line was shot over the boat an ef-
fort was made to launch one Of the ships
boats. The cable parted and the boat
was lost. Another boat Was lowered and
sailors began to get into her when heavy
sea struck her and smashed her to atoms
and the four seamen who had succeeded In
getting into the boat were swept away.
There were seventeen all told who were
brought ashore by the life savers with the
breeches buoy.
Peter Eland was the only seaman who was
in the first boat which met disaster before
she was fairly launched. The boat did not
cap.izs, and Eland managed to row and
drift north, and landed near Cedar Creek
life saving station, twenty miles distant
from the wreck.
Before leaving his boat Captain jacobson
had the foremast cut away to make the yes
sci lie easier. Soon after she struck the
mainmast fell. That afternoon the vessel
was bilged and will be total loss. The sea
is washing high and strong over the oarks
hull, tearing away all her upper works.
The Alice left Dunkirk December 81 for
New York. She is q double-deckcr and has
a registered tonnage of 9T7. She was built
in Maine and halls from Ayendal Norway
Her crew were all Norwegians.
