SWAN FROM THE VESSEL.
The Schooner Aberdeen is q Wreck,

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Jan. 30.-Fishing

men. John Viator, one of the crew,
Jumped overheard as soon as the vessel

End Of Four Weeks Cruise.
The Aberdeen left Gloucester four
weeks ago today for q trip to Georges
hand lining. The crew took about is, 900
pounds OF fresh fish and 5000 pounds of
salt fish, The vessel left the banks a week
ago Thursday, and arrived at Portland
Friday night. There the fresh fish were
disposed OF, and yesterday morning at 8
o'clock the vessel was headed for home
Somewhere around o'clock she made
the Isles OF Shoals, when q light snow
storm WAS encountered. About $50
o'clock, when abreast of Thatcher's ISL
and, the snow had shut down thick. and
at 7 o'clock the crew took I'm the main
sail, leaving the vessel under the foresaii
and two jibs. The seas were running
very high.
An hour later they made out a light,
and, calculating that they were 10 miles
to the westward OF Eastern point, stood in
for shore.
About sis o'clock the dreaded cry
Breakers ahead" came ringing back to
the man at the wheel from the locke
forward. The crew tried hard to bring
the vessel about. but they could not do
So and it was just $50 o'clock when the
vessel landed
When the vessel struck every member
Of the crew except Harry Christensen was
on deck. He was In his bunk in the fore
castle suffering from boils, and when the
crew came to look for him he was impris-
onsd under the mass Of wreckage The
forecast!e was fast filing with water from
the bottom and in a few moments more he
would have been drowned.
With a shout Of warning Viator had be-
fore this announced his intention Of
Trying For the Shore
His companions saw him jump and
he was buried In the foam. 1t seemed
hours to the waiting crew before they
heard his exultant cry and knew that at
least one man was saved from the fury of
the waves.
Then Peter Robinson, the cook, told
them that they had struck at high tide,
and that IL they waited until the tide
went out they would stand a much better
chance OF getting safely ashore. But
John Rogers couldn't bear the suspense,
and he too, went overheard, and another
anxious wait followed, TO be ended by his
crv of iafetv.
