KINGSVILLE. Ont, Nov. 26.-An un-
known schooner is sunk on the middle
ground off Point Pelee and the sailors
are lashed in the rigging, for the masts
are above the water. Since Sunday
morning the tug, Home Rule, from Ar
herstbuTg has been trying to rescue the
men, but there is such high sea run
ming that her efforts have been fr1itless
1t is feared that the men will die from
exposure before aid can reach them
The Home Rule came in here this even
ing and the crew went to the life saving
station at the end of Point Pelee to get
the life boat. Capt. Hackett informed
them that the boat had not been in the
water for three years and would not
float. The Home Rule draws too much
water to go near the middle ground in
the heavy sea that is running on Lake
Erie tonight. She will stay here this
evening and leave in time to get to the
wrecked schooner by daylight, when
another effort will be made to save the
crew. The schooner Reuben Doud is also
on the middle ground, but nothing is
known of her condition. About fifty
boats were anchored west of Point Pelee
today. Since the wind has gone to the
north number OF them have gone out.
