the breakwater In spite Of the danger. the
guard proceeded along the breakwater and haV-
ing rigged UP the rocket apparatus, began hIlhs
lifelines in the direction OF the wreck The
faint light Of the rockets soon disclosed the fact
that the vessel had broken in two amldshlps
and that the mainmast had fallen crushing me
lives out OF several OF the crew. Few SURVIVORS
could be seen cnging TO each half OF the YES
sci. and their piteous cries for help could be
heard above the of the storm. After many
failures the coastguard succeeded in firing line
over the wreck: but by that time all on board
had perished A lifebOat vainly tried again ana
again TO approach the wreck. Not a vestge or
the bark could be seen to-day, and there is no
prospect of any salvage. Several bodies nave
been washed ashore.
