Machias Schooner Wrecked.

Peaked Hill bar, near Highland Light /,
Mass, was the scene OF another wreck
yesterday morning and where last week
there was one stranded vessel there are
two now. AT / O'Clock the Machias
schooner Henry" bound from Lloyd's
Neck for Boston, brought up on the bar.
The crew was landed safely.
The wreck was caused by the schooner
"Jennie G. May, which struck on the
bar during heavy gale several days ago.
During the night wreckers continued
their work on the "Jennie G. May". and
the lights used by them were mistaken
by the crew OF the ''Henry" for those OF a
vessel ahoat. The man at the wheel sup
posed that there was plenty OF water in
the vicinity of the lights, and continued
on his course.
The schooner Is laden with roofing gra-
vel, and Is quite deep in the water. She
lies well up on the bar. Her position Is
bad. There will be considerable difficulty
In floating her, even II she escapes severe
blow.
The Henry" registers 139 tons gross and
1872 net. She was built at Addison
In 1878, and halls from Machias. Her
com mander is Captain Coffin.
1t is reported this morning that the ves-
sci is going to pieces.
