away while off Chincoteague Thurs
day night of last week. and from that
time until o'clock on Friday morn
ing. when her crew succeeded In
anchoring her off Metompk1n oeacn,
she was practically at the mercy OF
the winds and waves. Soon after
reaching the latter point, Capt. Lynn
F. Taylor and force Of the Metompkin
Life Saving Station. responded
promptly to their signal and rescued
the captain and his crew, benumoed
and frostbitten, from their perllous
position. The schooner sank on Sat.
urday and is now lying in three faith

went down, about mile north OF the
station.

The men in the Reynolds, after she
was disabled on Thursday night, ex-
perienced many of the "perils of the
deep" They could not get the boat
in her unmanageable condition into
harbor and as she wallowed in the
sea, drifting wherever the winds and
waves carried her, they were fearful
all the time if she did not roll over, she
would be taken out to sea, and real-
lied. that if that did occur, only
watery graves awaited them. The
winds and the waves fortunately ia
yored them and took them to a point
where they could lay at apchor and
their distress signals could be seen.
