WRECKED SCHOONER SIGHTED.
She Was the Arboreer of Ellsworth and
Had Been Deserted by Her Crew.

. The fishing schooner Fannie HAYDEN
Captain Turner, arrived here Yesterday
forenoon with trip of halibut.
Captain Turner reported that Thursday
while off Monhegan he sighted the wreck
OF schooner lying about eight miles
southwest of the island. This was about
two O'Clock in the afternoon.
Although the sea was running quite
high at the time the Hayden bore down
on the wreck and soon made her out to be
that of the two-masted schooner Arboreer
of Ellsworth. Only her stern and>a
portion Of her after deck was above water.
The crew of the Hayden boarded her
and found that she was waterlogged. Her
small boat was gone and she had been
stripped of all the available stuff that
could well be carried in small boat.
The crew probably made good their escape
to the island or mainland. 1t was difficult
to determine whether she had anything in
her hold or not, as she was almost entire
ly under water. Captain Turner was of
the opinion that she was light, and was
probably weighted down forward by her
chains.
The schooner's sails were torn in shreds
and the wreck looked as if it had been in
that condition for several days, though
nothing has been heard from the crew.
They might have been picked up by some
passing vessel.
The crew of the Hayden removed the
main boom and gait from the vessel and
brought them into port and took them
away again when Captain Turner sailed
yesterday afternoon.
The Gloucester schooner Edith Prior,
Captain Prior, put into Boothbay harbor
yesterday forenoon and reported seeing
the wreck. As near as the captain could
judge it was then about five miles south
of Monhegan having drifted since Captain
Turner boarded her.
Arboreer was one of the Oldest vessels
afloat in these waters. She was 81 tons
register, 65 feet in length, 20 feet beam
and was built in Ellsworth in lS41.
