Captain Frederick c. CrossIey Escaped the Recent Blizzard by Reason of Ills Foreslght-His Brother May Have Had aserious Mishap O Officers of Crawford
 Council, R. and s. M.
 President Clark Buckingham of the past masters association, F. and A. M., of New Haven county, has called the annual meeting of the above association for Friday evening, December 30, at the Adelphi lodge rooms in Fair Haven.
 Captain Frederick c. Crossley of Quinnipiac avenue arrived yesterday morning in New Haven harbor in the schooner Jennie E. Fighter, from Nor folk, with coal. His vessel lay in New London harbor during the blizzard. Captain Crossley discovered that two storms were combining, and he decided not to venture out. The Fighter sailed out of Hampton Roads last Monday. There was plenty of wind all of the trip and the schooner came up the coast a-hying, making very fast run.
 Captain Crossley says his brother, Captain John Crossley in the schooner Alice Phillips, now at Bridgeport, came out of Hampton Roads few hours af- ter the Hanscom and encountered the terrible gale He said he would not be surprised if the Hanscom was not heard from in two weeks. The mate of the vessel went with him once, and he is fine sailor. He mentioned the great blizzard of 1888, when several vessels were not heard from in weeks. One vessel five weeks out reached Rio Jan eiro, and another put into Halifax; sev- eral crews were rescued and one crew was taken in sailing vessel across to Europe. Captain Crossley intimated that the Hanscom might fetch up at Bermuda or Halifax. The wind had been blowing constantly from the west ward and if the vessel was trying to get back towards the coast she could not make much progress with such winds, especially if some of the sails were blown away. He believes the ves- sel was in fair condition and was not overloaded. Most of the vessels lost went ashore and as no wreckage of the nissi vessel was found, that is another indication that she Is afloat
