or extent OF the injury sustained by her
could not be learned by the crew OF the

The Sebago was still in a bad predica-
ment when sighted by the life savers of
the Chatham station about s:lb a. IN.
Capt. Eldredge and crew put of at once
10 the vessel and boarded her at $50 a m.
They found that the schooner was In
bad shape, that four feet OF water was in
the hold and that the services OF a tug
was Immediately necessary 10 save her
from more serious injury. Capt Eldredge
returned TO the shore just before 10 a. m.
and wired 10 Vineyard Haven for a tug.
The crew OF the Sebago remained on

ran ashore at 8 o'clock this morning on
West Chop
The Britsher was attempting TO make

visable TO proceed In the fog but by a
miscalculation the Homan struck on the
bottom. The water was smooth and so
far the craft has sustained little damage.
Capt Atkinson later made arrange
ments with the captain OF the tug Storm
King and IL was thought II would be pos.
sible 10 float the Homan az food tide this
afternoon. When the schooner grounded
the tide was running out.
The Metropolitan Line steamer VI. Dim

here yesterday afternoon returned on ac-
count Of the fog and at IL a. m. was still
anchored awaiting the dissolution OF the
