Many Tessels Driven Ashore On
Cape God.
Some Also Wrecked On
Maine Shore.
The Heroic Work of the Life
Saving Crews.

Highland Light, Mass, October H.
Nearly every life saving station along
Cape Cod has some tale today Of wrecks
or vessels in distress as the result Of the
gale OF yesterday.
Captain Cole OF the Cahoons Hollow
station reports that at seven O'Clock last
night large steamer carrying two mast =
head lights north bound, stopped sudden
" OF his station and began to use the
searohlight, sweeping the sea for some
distance around for half an hour. During
the time what appeared to be a boat in
which was a ships lantern, put off from
the steamer and it looked as If something
had been picked up. Captain Cole today
stated that he believed that some wreck
or collision had occurred.
Later in the day, Captain Rich Of the
Famett River station, four miles north
Of that at Cahoons Hollow, reported the
finding Of the quarter board with the
name Robert W. Lyle upon It. The
life saving men seem to think that there
Is some connection with the stopping OF
the steamer and the finding Of the quar-
ter board.
The gale last night caught a reat fleet
Of vessels on Cape COd and the complete
story Of the damage done and the terrible
experiences Of the sailors is yet to be told.
Some OF them no doubt have been
driven well off shore, perhaps as far a
the Cult Stream, while others managed
to reach tor some sOrJ Of lee, ana are
hOldingson like grim death with both
anchors down
A large three masted schooner is riding
heavily just clear of the shoals off Well
fleet. ShOuli she drag fifty yards nearer
shore, her keel will touch and she may
become a wreck. Another three master,
the lena A Cotton, has set signals of
distress off Wood End bar at Province
town and the crew OF that station hav
gone to her assistance. Her sails are all
blown away. She is bound for Boston.
The tug j. B. King, with two heavily
laden barges struggled for hours last
night in attempting to round the END of
the Cap9 and reach a harbor in Province
town, Finally the haWser connecting the
rear barge parted and as it was pose
sible for the tug to go to her rescue, she
was left to her fate, while the tug just
managed to reach the harbor Nothing
could be seen Of the second barge today,
and as there is a tremendous sea running
there seems to be little hope for her safe
ty.

ball team this afternoon Al to 0. The
game was one succession of long runs
around the Bates's ends. The Harvard
interference was the best seen this year
and all the backs made long gains. Ker-
nan also did some fine rushing. through
the .line Kendall made more ground
than any Of the other backs, but it was
due more to his individual pIayingsthan
to interference. He was very skilfuI in
throwing off tacklers. W. r. Lawrence
was tried at half back for the first time
this year and did remarkably well He
followed his interference and made long
gains. Roberts played cenJre rush in
the second halfland did very we'll. His
one fault was erratio passing. He de-
Tended his position very well indeed.

in the first half at different times around

DISASTERS ON MAINE COAST.
Lubec, October l7.-The violent wind
storm which swept over the eastern sec
tlOn Of Maine late yesterday afternoon
and last evening, came down so suddenly
that numerous vessels and small boats in
this vicinity were caught unaWares, and
as q result TWO sGhOODers are known to
have been lost and many narrow escapes
are reported. When the storm came up a
number Of weir boats were some distance
from the shore and despite the most fran
tic endeaYors Of their occupants they were
being driven steadily seaWard. The wind
storm was accompanied by a marked drop
IN the temperature, and the crews of
these little boats, who hal no protection
from the elements must have suffered Sc
Vnrely had they not reached a place of
safety. The position OF the weir boats
was noticed from the shore ana the tug
Mary j. Finn went to the rescue and af-
ter much difficulty succeeded In bringing
all safely TO land
Just bsfOre eleven o'clock a schooner
was noticed in distress on the rocks at
NestzQuOddy Head. The life savers at
tempted to reach her in the surf boat, but
the beating of the waves upon the beach
was so Violent that it was impossible to
float the life boat. After repeated efforts
it was fOnnd impossible TO reach the dis
tressed craft in this manner, and as she
appeared to be breaking up rapidly every
attention was directed to saving the crew
After great difficulty, a line vas thrown
aboard the vessel, which proved to be ths
schooner Mary Lee Newton, and the crew
OF five men was rescued. The vessel is a
total loss.
The Newton was bound for Eastport
with general cargo, and was com
manded By Captain Coleman. She was
Of about ninety tons and was owned at
Great Beach.
Almost before the life savers had COM
pleted their work on the Newton, the lit
tie ten ton schooner Twilight was noticed
IN distress near by. The breeches buoy
again was brought into use and less than
i've minutes after, the two men who
made up the crew were brought ashore,
the Twilight sank. This forenoon the
storm continued and it was feHred that
reports Of further disaster might reach
here later In the day.

1,047,559 pounds. During the same
month of 1899 the sales were 1.423. $50
pounds, showing decrease for 1900 of

later and smaller crop this is a fine
showing for the Kinston market, says
