Big seas were now boarding the vessel
and sweeping everything movable off the
decks In panic the men stood as if
spellbound by the terrible scene about
them.
George Anderson, one of the seamen,

Five bodies and only five had been

Reimann, the only survivor of this

about "a years old, with light complexion,

they realized that they were in an un-

were as light hearted as sailors are wont

good work of the heavy sea, but was
leaking little. Shortly after six O'Clock
by order of Captain Helgerson the crew
turned to and pumped out the ship. This
took some time. and when the work was
ended the captain, realizing that he must
be somewhere near the Cape lights posted
two men on the forecastle and two others
on the pump breaks to keep watch for

on the forecastle saw the light at Port

was at once put upon the port tack to

Norfolk, Va, December 15.-The case
of John Anderson of the Olive Pecker
charged with the murder of Captain
Whitman and Mate Saunders came up in
the Federal court at three o'clock this
afternoon. Mr.. George Mcintosh, counsel
for the accused, exploded bomb when
at the very beginning, moving that the
indictments against his client be quashed.
He stated two reasons, first, that in
Federal court proceedings the right to
challenge grand juror was given and
his client could not avail himself of that
privilege because he was present when in
dicted. The second was that the indict-
ment didn't correctly show how the
Jurors were summoned. The question Of
whether it will be proper to make new
order will be argued at ten O'Clock today.
