The sea was 80 rough all day that tug

to get line to the stranded vessel had to
put back. Late tonight the vessel was
listing badly to port and was displaying
distress signals.
Several attempts which were made this
afternoon by New Rochelle boatmen to
reach the shipwrecked vessel also proved
unavailing The Whitney went on the
rocks at o o clock this morning while coming
down the Sound under headsails. Owing
to the dense fog the captain was steering
by tho compass and missed the signals
which were displayed by the Execution
Light keeper.
The boat lies 400 feet from the light

badly damaged as the reef is one OF the

She Wouldn't Live In America. So They
Parted--COmlng for the Funeral.

The Countess Won Waldersee and the
Baroness Won Watcher Lautenbach, sisters
of David Bradley Lee, who died recently
in private hospital here, arrived yesterday
aboard the Hamburg American liner Moltke
from Bremen. They received letters at
Quarantine from Miss Adelaide Samson
Mr. Lees private secretary, and his ply
sician, DR.. David L. Golf, announcing Mr.
Lees death.
When the Countess and Baroness sailed
from Bremen they had been told by cable
that the operation on Mr.. Lee ha! been
successful, and they hoped to see him
alive. They We're much dist ressed by the
news of his death and kept their cabins
until the liner clocked in Hoboken
The Countess has not seen New York

Interviewed through DR.. Goff. she con-

by saying that the marriage of her brother,
David Bradley Lee. TO Miss Giles, in Lon

by the family, They acknowledged the
marriage, and it was known publicly i'm
mediately after it took place. Mr.. Lee
and his young wife spent the winter of 1895
with the Countess in Germany The reason
for their separation was that Mr.. Lee
wanted to live in America and his bride
wanted to live in Paris. The Countess
took the side of Mr. Lee declaring her be-
lief in the old principle proclaimed by
| Ruth whittier thou goest will go"
There was no open conflict between
husband and wife; they simply agreed to
