THE BRIG GOLDEN RULE.
Capt. Daggett, Of the E. F. Willard,
Reports Her Wreck.

Was Run Down BY steamer in Mid
Ocean-Waterlogged With Her Bow
Cut Away-No Tidings of the Crew.
One of the visitors in thiss city yes
terday was Captain Daggett, of the
schooner E.F. Willard of this port. FL
came down Saturday night from Boston
where he left his vessel, and returned
last night. He reports what was ter
rible marine catastrophe and what may
have involved the loss of several lives,
though there is nothing definite in re-
gard to that. On the, Goth of this
month, while about "a miles east-south-
east of the South Shoal lightship, he
passed the brig Golden Rule, of Liver
pool, MS. She was deserted, water
logged, with her bow cut off, and there
was no doubt but that she had been
run down by steamer the day before.
Late- he fell IN with the schooner Man
cite of this port, and that vessel had
picked up the boat of the wrecked brig.
Itswas empty. If the crew had escaped
in the boat and been rescued, it was
CuIlOQS UAdU buC UOdI SuOulG Adto U0cu
abandoned. 1t seems SO probable that
in lowering the boat in the excitement
and heavy swell, it had broken away
and drifted astern before the ,men could
get into it, as sometimes happens. 1t
hardly seems probable that steamer
would have run down the brig ana kept
right on and left the crew to its fate.
But such things have happened. Mr..
W. W. Allen of this city, to whom Captain
Daggett told the above story, had such
an experience 20 years ago. in Chesa-
peak Bay. He was on the schooner
Ellen Forester of Deer Isle, of which
his brother, David Allen, was captain
and part owner. The vessel was loaded
with iron, and was run into in the night
by steamer, which cut off the bow of
the schooner and kept right on. The
vessel went to the bottom but the crew
escaped in the boats. Upon arrival in
Baltimore they ascertained from time
tables that the steamer that must have
struck them was the Fanny of Balti-
more. They boarded the Fanny and
asked for the captain. He knew what
they were coming for as soon as he saw
them. He turned all colors when they
accused him of running them down and
leaving them, and was not very polite to
his visitors. Captain Allen brought the
case to trial, though the other owners
declared it would be useless. The steam
boat company carried the case to the
hiobest court The alue of the schoon-
er was but $1,000, but whenlthe case was
finally settled and the steam boat COM
pany had lost, they were obliged to pay
total of $14, 900 for damages and costs.
1t is to be hoped that the Golden Rule
was run down by 3 more humane cap
tain, and that the crew are all right.
The brig is owned by Michael & Hen
dry of Liverpool, and is only year and
| a half old.
