section is made by Capt. Hard Jr., of
the revenue cutter Dexter, who has
cruised along shore all day. He says
that In Vineyard Haven hulls are piled
upon shore and those vessels which
are af1oat seem mere shells. The Dex-
ter reports possible additions to the
wreck list in two schooners sunk off
Menemsha Blight and two big ones
