LII B-SAVBRS RESCUE
Crew OF THE SCHBPP
Men of Stranded Schooner
Taken Off This Morning.
All Efforts TO Throw n Line over
the Vessel Proved FutiIe-LIfe-
boat Finally Launched.

NEW YORK. FEB. AFTER twenty
four hours Of anxious waiting. the crews
Of the Point Lookout and Short Beach
Life Saving Stations succeeded al 4
O'Clock this morning in reaching the
American clipper ship L. Schcpp. which
went ashore at Point Lookout early yes
terday morning.
The ship was found to have suffered Sc
verely, as result OF her bufeting in the
breakers. and it is a question whether or
not she can be saved
As soon as the life-savers got along
side Of the wreck, preparations we're
made to rescue the crew. The sea had
moderated 70 a great extent, and no great
difficulty was expected in transferring
the distressed sailors to shore.
From the time the Schepp struck in
the early hours Of yesterday morning. the
life-savers Of two stations had been
standing by. never relaxing a minute from
their vigilance. ready TO take advantage
OF the hrst-opportunity that might pres
ent itself to tender aid to the sailors on
the stranded bark 200 yards out on the
breakers.
Three times yesterday they tried to
shoot line from their mortar gun. but
the wind caught the line each trial and
carried it down into the ocean before it
reached half way - the ship.
This morning the ship lay with her
port side TO the sea. In the night the
waves breaking over her. had laid layer
upon layer OF ice on hull and masts and
spars, and this morning the wreck was a
giirreTiuE white mass.
The wind had died away perceptibly.
and the fury OF the sea had abated SUI
fciently TO allow the launching OF the
Iifeboat
The sailors aboard the wreck lad a bad
night and there were evidences that the
Sehepp was not in good shape TO With
stand the battering OF the waves much
longer.
In the night a big section OF her fore
foot hoated ashore, and other pieces Of
wreckage were deposited on the oeach.
The crew Of the Schepp had. however.
signaled that all hands were well
The crew OF the CavOur were fairly
comfortable on the steamer yesterday and
