Tells Story Of Rescue.


Tells Story of Rescue.
Capt. Frank H. Lowell. OF the wrecked
Bueksport schooner "w. II. Card" with
his wife, niece aud crew, has arrived
home. He tells the following story OF the
week OF the '.Csrd" and the rescue of Il 9
crew.
1--WE sailed from Bangor, Nov. z, for
Wsrebsm, Mass. On the following day
the wind came out from the north north
west and blew hard, increasing at night
to gale. That night we lost our main
sail, and the heavy seas kept thrashing
the rudder hich was adrift owing to loss
OF the steering gear. The vessel sprung
aieak on the morning of the 9th, and the
seas which had been washing over our
decks from 3 O'Clock in the morning.
washed our deck load away until 1t was
level with the rails. The pumps were
kept going continuously, without gain
ing on the leak. The wind had increased
to hurricane force, end the sea became SO
violent that we were obliged 10 abandon
the pumps at 8 O'Clock.
the afternoon OF the OH there were
three feet of water in the hold. The
schooner was running off southeast by
sout b under reefed jib at rate of nine
knots, which course she continued for
twenty four hours. Daring this run, We
lost the foregaff and foresaii, and had two
men sick and worn out by their labor at
the pumps.
The water cask containing all our drink
ing water was lost, the seas flooded the
cabin and spoiled our provisions, wetting
the bedding and smashing the cook stove.
We had very little left to supply our
necessitiess The iib stays had parted and
the star board lumber port had come out,
leaving the schooner total wreck with
the crew exhausted.
"The Card kept running of before
the gales which continued to follow IN
succession until midnight of Nov. %,
whe n the frankfurt hove in sight. She
lowered a boat and took us of. We were
Hospitality treated and We're landed at
Brennan, W here we secured return passage
| by the Bar barosss.'n
The "Card" was built at Franklin In
1875, and registered lis tons.

where the promoters are interested.
