DRIFTING TO THEIR DEATH.
UNKNOWN SCHOONER CAUGHT IN
NORTHEAST GALE NEAR CAPE COD.

Chatham. Mass June Am unknown vessel
Tonight was drifting over the treacherous
shoals which lie off Cape Cod. and which ex-
tend 20 the island OF Nantucket. She is IN the
clutches Of the terrific northeast storm when
has been raging with more or less fury for sew
eral days
Her crew are seemingly beyond the aid or hu-
man hands. and possibly their identity VIII be
unknown for many days or until the vessei Ii
posted as missing. Even then the schooner may
still remain unknown. for she is the 'h'u UNI
known coaster upon the treacherous shoals TINS
week.
The vessel vas first seen close In shore TINS
morning but the master succeeded IN WORKING
her of Gigantic seas were running ana she
finally struck on an outlying bar on Pollock KIP
There the waves began to break over her, sweep
ing everything movable away. The vessel hung
co low in the water at the time she struck that
n was surrnised she was ice-laden.
The schooner was given up for lost by those on
shore as soon as she struck. but she ala not
Mound heavily. the damage to her apparently
coming from the waves as they were running
over her. Several Of the crew were seen for-
ward and three men aft the latter manning the
wheel.
l., about two hours the force Of the wind and
,,,.es disod0ed the vessel and drove her un-
manageable over the shoal and Into the snip
channel where an anchor was let CO. This dio
not hold her. for. bringing UP into the trough OF
the sea. she snapped the chain and at once drf'ed
before the gale. She drifted to the westward
past Shovelful Lightship and later started
southwark over the rips toward Nantucket
A boat crew from Monomoy tried to reach her'
but did not succeed. The schooner. when last
seen from here. was going southeastward. with
distress signals flying. Her chances OF getting
over the rips are slim. and II she escapes Total
destruction there she could hardly escape Mono
moy or Nantucket Shoal.
