SENT BACK TO QUARANTINE.
The Master of the Wrecked Harold
Brought up Without a Certificate.

The Master of the Wrecked Harold
Brought up Without Certificate.
The master of the Norwegian bark
Harold, which was wrecked on Tybee
Island Sunday night, and from which one
man was lost and the master and the rest
of the crew escaped with difficulty, was
in the city yesterday afternoon, but was
sent out again by the health officer last
night.
The master of the Harold on Sunday
night went through the most dangerous
experience of his life, and it is only by a
miracle that he is alive. He and his
crew were lashed for hours in the rigging
OF the vessel, suffering the most excruci-
atlng agony by momentarily expecting to
be washed off the vessel and drowned.
The bark was driven on the beach, and
each succeeding wave pushing it farther
and farther up gave the men new hope,
and when at last the hulk was driven far
up on the sand dunes, hundreds of feet
beyond the usual high water line, the
seamen unlashed themselves from the
rigging and all but one escaped death.
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN LOST.
SO perilous was the position of the yes
sci and so dangerous the beach at the
point where the vessel struck, that on
Monday old river men, and men who were
through the storm of 1881, declared that
no person escaped alive from the wreck,
Ihe feat being believed to be impossible
Oh accomplishment, and physical endur-
ance being incapable of withstanding the
Jury Of the elements
The master of the vessel and the rest
Of his crew wandered along the beach
Monday and Tuesday without shelter or
1000. The vessel and crew were in quar-
anime when the storm broke out, but the
period Of detention expired Monday.
yesterday forenoon Capt o. M. Carter
reached Lazaretto creek bridge and
was met by Mr.. John G. Butler who in
formed him that he and others on the
island We're in distress, had nothing to
eat and desired to go to town, to which
Capt' Carter replied by giving food to
'lose who wanted it and offering a pas
sage TO the city to those in distress; but,
on account of the limited size of the
angler, he could not accommodate others
'ndn Those in actual distress.
BROUGHT TIE MASTER TO THE CITY.
Mr.. Butler and some other gentlemen
"ok advantage of these offers, among
~nom was the master of the Harold, who
was unknown to Capt Carter. On the
way up Capt. Carter learned that
,l0 master was one of the passen-
t''S on the way to the city
T supplies for his shipwrecked crew.
t tI9 man explained that his period of de-
luton had expired on Monday and he
US enJltled to a certificate. This state
r-l -O was corroborated by Capt. King,
RI o happened to be on board, and who
q ,ry eo IN addition that he knew the man
n al the circumstances of the case.
nc Norwegian was anxious to get to
a.. 1 out not more anxious than Capt.
was to comply with any existing
Nj n. "a Vlne regulations. He stated that
o' 0raham must be seen, but as every
m vi board was of the impression that
IL, 0raham had left the station, the sta
ratr, having been destroyed, and taken
n,5o In the city, no search was
~'ue Tor that officer.
THOUGHT TO BE ALL RIGHT.
