Sanlt Ste. Marie, Mich, Oct. 3.--Thc
schooner Chester b. Jones arrived
down tonight In tow of the tug BOyn-
ton, not leaking and with her full
cargo. Capt. John Nelson says:
"Our tow broke on last Saturday
abreast Of White Fish light. The Birk-
head picked up the Elma, but we went
to anchor three miles west of the
point. The wind was blowing u gale
from the southeast at the time. We
remained on the Jones until last night,
when Capt. Small, with his life saving
crew from Crisp's life saving station.
came out after us. Our crew of seven
got into the yawl, which, with the life
saving crew of eight. carried fifteen
people. When a short way from the
Jones the fifteen of us were capsized
into the sea and with great difficulty
were all gotten ashore, part in the
yawl and part hanging onto her.
When the boat capsized l was under
1t, but managed to catch one Of the
lines as l came up. was dragged
into shore completely exhausted.
Capt. Small and crew deserve great
credit for their brave rescue, MS there
was Il terrible sea ut the time. The
tug BOynton came to us ut o a. M. The
life saving crew from Little Vermill-
ion watched us from the shore for two
days with IL gun and life line to use in
case the anchor gave way
The Birkllead arrived here tonight
with the crew of the Elma, except Ru-
delphi Yak of Mount Clemens, who was
lost. The Elma broke away the Sec
ond time from the Birkhead when
nearing Munising Bay Saturday after
noon. She made sail and was making
fair headway. when her rudder gave
out. The heavy southeast gale car
ried her on Il bluff, rocky shore near
Miners Castle. One of the crew took
the yawl and attempted to get Il line
ashore, when the yawl was dashed
against the rocks and went to pieces.
The sailor got to shore with a heavine
line and remained on n ledge of rock
fifteen feet by three until morning,
when he climbed to the top of tile
bluff and got the Elna's line ashore.
The crew We're drawn on top of the
bluff, where they remained from Sun
day morning till Monday morning
with only two laOves of bread to sub
sist on. The Birkhcad in the mean-
time. supposing all the crew OF the
Elma were drowned. sent the light
house keeper to look for bodies. He
found the crew on the bluff and took
them to the Birkhead under Grand Isl
and. Sailor Yak met his death In at
tempting to swim ashore with IL line,
when the sea dashed him on the rocks,
killing him instantly. They tried to
pull him ashore. but the life line gave
way. Capt. Thurston says the rocky
bluff they We're OH was fully 200 feet
high. His wife and child, who were
with him. were tied in blankets and
taken ashore with lines. The Elma
has all gone to pieces.
The Birkhead picked up lead-col-
ored life Loaf with black top Off Yer
million Point. with two pails,o blan-
ket and an oilslsin coat in it. There
was no name on the boat, but indica-
tions are that some unknown craft las
