The observer of the weather bureau re-
ports that the four-nlasted schooner
Wesley ~ Uler went ashore at Hat
teras Inlet Life Saving Station this
morning during the storm. She was
shore until $50, when the foremast
went over, carrying probably the last
man. Almost Immediately the vessel
went TO pieces. The life savers could
do nothing to save the crew.
Reports received are to the effect that
not d soul Of the Inflated crew esca ped

rescue is known. and that was brought

schooner or tug until this afternoon,
when the news came that the schooner
had been lost with all on board.
The fate OF the tugs crew Is unknown

some Of the crew of the schooner.

assistance in the fearful gale. they saw
the last man Clinging to the vessel drop

twelve in the crew.

with several smaller craft. were blown
ashore in the harbor and lower bay.
The tug Underwater, which was tow

heard from, and fears are entertained
that she foundered in the gale. The
