Schooner Wrecked on Point
Of Cape HenIOpen
DREECHES BUOY SAVES CREW
Another Ship Vas lin Danger Nearby.
Storm Of Snow and Rain Severe
at BreakWater

The coasting schooner N. II. Skinner.
Of Boston, grounded yesterday morning
on the point Of Cape Henlopen, and
before noon was a complete wreck. Her
crew of nine men was brought safely
ashore, one by one by means Of
breeches buoy, operated by the men OF
the Lewes and Henlopen lfe-saving
stations. Captain Wheatley was In
command of the schooner and was the
last man to leave the vessel. This was
at o'clock. An hour later the
schooner was full of water and began
10 break up.
The Skinner was bound from VIII
mingtOn. n c., for New York with
cargo OF lumber She was making for
a harbOr at the Breakwator under a
light wind, but on rounding the point
OF Cape Henlopen was carried against
the wind by a strong tide 20 the shore
and grounded hard and fast. The life
saving patrolinen burned warning sig
nails. but as there was little wind the
crew OF the Skinner was unable TO keep
the vessel on shore The wrecking
steamer North America put line on
board. but was unable TO release the
stranded vessel.
The schooner n. II. Skinner has had
an cvontful career. She was built in
this city thirty-three years ago. and
has since been engaged in the lumber
carrying trade between Southern and
Northern ports In the great storm
Of November. 1898, when more than
500 vessels were driven ashore on tho
New England coast, the Skinner was
one OF the victims. She was supposed
TO be a total wreck at the time, but
was floated and towed to a Massa-
chusetts port for repairs
The storm which drove the Skinner
ashore at Cape Henlopen struck an
other vessel later In the day in the
same neighborhood About 220 p. m.
an unknown threc-masted schooner
was compelled to anchor one mile south
OF the point She occupied a position
inside Of the Hen and Chicken shcal
and when last heard from her situa.
tion was regarded as precarious. Ow.
