The AmeS Brings Ship
wrecked Men to Port.
CUBANS ARE AMONG THEM.
They Were Aboard Tug Tilley That
FOundered In Gale.
BELIEVED TO BE FILIBUSTERS.

Quite sensation was caused In this
big five .masted schooner Governor Amss
at she dock Of the Providence Coal Com
pany on her trip from Hampton Roads.
The captain Of the Amss tells most
thrilling story Of the rescue Of the crew
and passengers of the large steam tug
Tilley of Plum Gut Sunday noon.
When the big tug was sighted she was
flying signals of distress, and the Ames
at once headed in her direction. Upon
seeing this two boats left the tug and
pulled toward the Ames, and the men
were soon on board of the big schooner.
These proved 10 be Captain Berry of the
tug Tilley, members OF his crew ana Gu
bans, eleven in all. The presence on the
tug of the Cuhans was not accounted TOR.
Very shortly after the rescue tie tug
sank and the A mes proceeded on her way
10 Providence. arriving this morning.
AS soon as the vessel had tied up at
her dock three OF the Cubans immedi-
ately went TO the depot and took the IL
o'clock train for New York, and their
names could not be learned.
when seen by The News reporter Cap
tain Berry was inclined TO be very reti-
cent, and his crew initiated his EXAMPLE
Saturday afternoon and Sandy Hook
Saturday evening with coal and ballast
and headed his tug for Tampa, Fla.
When of Plum Gut he ran into tho teeth
Of a hurricane, which was blowing at the
rate OF rs miles an hour. The 1illey run
into the trough of the sea and shipped 80
many enormous waves that IL was soon
evident that with her heavy cargo OF coal
she could not live through Ii. For live
or Fix hours the struggle was carried on
ana then the Ames was sighted.
Captain Berry then took two OF his
boats and started for the Ames, leaving
another boat on board with one mein ber
of the crew and three Cubans. Whether
these men perished or not Is as yet a mat
ter Of Goa lecture. There seems to be 10
doubt whatever now that the Til!ey Is
the same steam tug that was seen along
side n lighter oil the Long Island coast
early on Sunday morning, and which
was mentioned in yesterdays press dis
patches.
