New York, Nov 24.-The full rugged
ship Flcttbek, which went ashore at
Monmouth Beach during last night >
gale, is tonight resting on the sands
apparently little the worse for her ex-
perience and her crew being cared for
by the life savers. of Station No. 4
by whom they We're rescued this morn
ing.
The tug Robert Haddon is a wreck,
but, as told last night, her crew was
saved. One man, unknown, probably
a resident of Long Branch, was swept
away when the iron pier at that place
was damaged. Much property loss re-
suited from the storm all along that
portion of the Jersey coast. The Had
don picked up the Flottbek about dark
yesterday. The ship, under command Of
Capt. Zingler, was bound for New
York from plymouth, Eng, with a
cargo of white clay and minerals. The
tug was commanded by Capt. stark.
She had a crew of seven men and the
ship had "a men all told.
All went well until some time later
when the wind attained a velocity Of
40 to 50 knots and the tug was unable

saving the tug was to let the vessel
go, the hawser was cut.
The Flottbek drifted to shore and
struck at a point favorable for work
upon her. The tug lost her rudder and,
driven by the gale and perfectly hope
less. she drifted down the coast. she
struck the iron pier and the crashing
was heard by a fisherman who reused

It required quick action, but with
much difficulty all the crew were saved
before daylight this morning. Mean
while the ship had been looked after
NV the life savers. After several lnet-
fectual attempts the regulation proJec-
file was thrown over her and the rope
caught and the breeches buoy was rig
ged within very short time The tax
ing off of the men was then quickly
done and the "a men were taken to
Long Branch.
About two hours after the men from
the tug had been landed number OF
people went out on the pier. One man
whose identity has not been estab-
lished was considerably in advance OF
the rest. There came a ripping, tearing
sound as if the pier were giving way
