sails, the Shamrock setting her largest
one with aluminium spars, the Columbia
hosting the same one she had set on Fri
day. Jibs and staySans were sent up in
stops on the stays, but they were never
broken out, what little sailing the yachts
did about the lightship being done under
mainsail and club topsails only The same
persons were on board the yachts as on
the previous days.
The yachts returned to their moorings
at 1:30 The Shamrock's crew swung the
main boom off to starboard, and eleven
men climbed out on its head and sat there
to give the yacht a heel while several of
the crew scrubbed off one of the plates
on the port side below the water line.
These operations were repeated the boom
being swung to port and the men cleaning
the starboard side.
1t was reported after the race was de-
clared off that there had been talk of
docking both yachts early on Sunday
morning, but the rumor was not con-
frmed. The fact that Captain Charles
Barr of the Columbia obtained leave from
Mr.. Iselin to go to the city to meet his
wife, who arrived to-day from England by
the steamer St. Paul, and to remain in
town until Monday morning, is pretty
good evidence that the Columbia will not
be docked.

BREEZE COMES
RATHER LATE
Yachts Only Reach the
Starting Line.
Special Dispatch to The can.

NEW YORK. Oct. H.-The Columbia
and Shamrock got as far as the starting
line to-day, but did not cross it. There
was not enough wind to blow out the sig
nal flags when the time came to send
them away, and after waiting an hour in
the hope that a breeze might spring up
from somewhere, the committee boat
hoisted the now familiar blue flag crossed
by a white bar, denoting that the race
was off for the day. The usual fleet of
excursion boats, yachts and tugs was on
hand to witness the melancholy announce
ment After the yachts had returned to
their anchorage inside the Horseshoe, and
the tail of the excursion feet had disap-
peared through the Narrows, a good.
strong breeze blew in from the sea and
held throughout the afternoon. With such
a breeze the boats could have covered the
course in four hours
The yachts will try again on Monday,
but the old barnacleS are now saying that
unless storm comes along to stir up the
stagnant atmosphere there is not much
chance of a change in the weather condi-
tions until the moon changes on Wednes-
day.
The Shamrock, with her mainsail up.
left her moorings in tow of a tug at $3.50

Steamer Nutmeg State, Burned at Sea.

to fall back to the blazing deck A man
passenger who was trying to keep him
self afloat on an oar became exhausted
and was drowned
When 1t became apparent that the Nut
meg State vas doomed to destruction the
dozen or so of her freight handlers are
said to have taken possession of the first
of the lifeboats launched. They fought
back any of the women or men who tried
to get into the boat and refused to take
the children. 1t was impossible for Cap
tain Brooks to control the rowdy, cow
ardly freight handlers and they were ut
terly oblivious of the perils Of the pas
sengers.
When the passengers were forced from
second which was lowered, and a wild
scramble Of the panic-str1cken people en-
sued. This boat was overloaded and
overturned. 1t could not be righted in
the water and men, women and child1e
remained in the chilly water, clinging to
the boat until help arrived from the pass
ing craft.
The tugboat Reed ran under the stern
OF the Nutmeg State and some of the pas
sengerS jumped from the burning boat to
the decks. Then the tug went forward
and made an effort to save the imprisoned
men in the crew quarters. The heat was
SO intense that it drove the tug away and
1t again turred its attention to picking
the people up from the water.
It made another attempt and some Of
the tug men chopped away some wood
work at the bow of the Nutmeg State
Two of the firemen were saved, but the
other men of the crew, who probably
were exhausted from the smoke were ur-
able to climb out of the hold before the
Reed was again forced away from the
ship on account of the flames
1t is believed that seven men Of the
Bridgeport boat were burned to death in
their quarters below decks at the bow.
The passengers and rescued members
from the burning ship were placed aboard
the City of Lawrence, and the body of
Baggagemaster Jaynes was conveyed to
the Hartford liner, which proceeded on
her way to this city. OF the seventy of
the rescued aboard only four needed nos
pital treatment.
The excitement was such at the time
of the abandonment of the burning vessel
that no positive statement as to the exact
number OF persons who periShed can be
Obtained from the officers of the boat or
from any of the persons rescued. No
record of those on board was kept by the
purser, because the United States naviga-
ton laws do not require coaStwise craft
making regular trips of less than a hun
dred miles to make a list of passengers
The Nutmeg State was a wooden prOpel-
Ter of little over thousand tons and
for the last seven years has carried
freight ard passengers between Connecti-
cut towns and this city. She carried a
large quantity OF freight. which was ali
destroyed. There was large consign-
ment of cartridges in the hold and when
the flames reached them they began to
explode and continued firing for some
time. The boat was valued at $4,000.
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-15

rEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Bridge
N port line steamer Nutmeg State
III was burned in Long Island Sound,
U off Sands Point, L. l., at sunrise
- this morning and ten persons were
burned to death or drowned. The dead
are:
SAMUEL JAYNES, Bridgeport. bag
gagemaster Of Nutmeg State; body at
New York Morgue,
NILS NILSSON, member Of the crew;
body not recovered from the wreck.
CHARLES ANDERSON, watchman on
board; body in the wreck.
PATRICK COFFEY, mate; body in the
wreck.
BERNARD HANCOCK: body in the
wreck.
THOMAS MURPHY, member OF the
crew; body in the wreck.
JOHN CONNORS, member OF the crew;
body in the wreck.
Unknown woman, passenger, 28 years Of
age; body recovered.
Unknown man. passenger; drowned; !;
body not recovered.
Unknown girl. years old; body re-
covered.
Most Of the passengers who escaped
suffered nothing more than shock from
immersion in the chilly water. and only
four persons were sent to the hospital.
The steamer was run to the beach at
the outbreak of the flames and burned to
the waters edge.
The bodies of two victims of the disas-
ter drifted ashore mile east of the blaz-
ing wreck. One was the body Of wo-
man about 2S years Of age. and the other
a girl of four years.
The Nutmeg State. with over 100 per-
sons on board bound from Connecticut
towns to New York. was discovered on
fire at about $50 o'clock, when she was
within few miles of Sands Point, L. 1.
The flames were in the bow OF the boat
between the forward cabin and the dom
key engine room. The fire was on the
main deck and seemed to be small af-
fair, so Captain G. A. Brooks, not wish
ing to needlessly alarm the passengers.
ordered the crew called to work as quick
ly as possible with buckets and hose. For
about twenty minutes the flames did not
seem to be dangerous, and the men ap-
peared to have them in control. Sud
denly they burst into a furious blaze
amidships.
Samuel Jaynes was detached from the
fire fighters and sent to alarm the pas
sengers and all the members of the crew
