Thrilling Features of a Tug Wreck
" ~ on Homer ShOalS. N 44

SANDY HOOK, March L, 1s95.-One
of the Morans tugs ran on the Rorner
shoals before daylight this morning and
sank, only her smoke stack and pilot
house being above water. The marine
observer here reported that at daylight
he could see two men clinging to the
smoke stack. About a quarter of a mile
away a scow with five men all huddled
together was observed. The tug had
probably been towing the scow to the
garbage dump, and in the heavy mist had
run on the shoals.
The observer notified the Life Saving
Station of the sunken tug and a boat was
promptly launched and started for the

Channel toward the sunken tug,
Two other pilot boats which were pass

sunken tug and went toward the Romer
shoals. The weather was misty, with
light snow, and there were heavy break
ers on the Romer shoals and a fresh
easterly wind was prevailing. A heavy
mist descended, and the observer could
not see whether the rescuers were sue
