ers Of Shell Fisheries Falls.

A decision rendered by Judge Dubois
In the appellate division of the supreme

A TOTAL
LOSS
Schooner Helen A. Maud Struck
on Sh0Va|fuI ShOaI--Cra :
Taken Off by Life Savers.

Chatham. Mass. May 29.-As the re-
suit OF a miscalcuation on the part OF
the pilot. the two-masted schooner Helen
A. Maud, bound for New York with a
cargo OF laths. went ashore early today
on Shovelful shoal. The vessel stove
holes in her hull and she filled with
water. The captain and crew were forced
70 abandon the schooner and they were
taken off by Captain Kelley and his men
pf the Monomoy Point life saving sta
tion. The vessel will probably prove n
total loss.
The Helen A. Maud sailed from New
castle May Is ard had an uneventful
passage along the coast II was just
after two o'clock this morning when the
vessel was sailing fast that she struck
with great force on Shovelful shoal. The
tide was low at the time. In few mo-
ments water began pouring into the hold
OF the vesse, and soon had risen almost
TO the deck line. Captain Trenholm
sent up signals for assstance and he and
his men got some Of their effects ready
for a quick departure. There was some
danger on account Of the pounding OF
the vessel that she would go to pieces
very soon.
The signals sent from the schooner
were observed by life saver Of Mono
moy Point who was patroling the shore.
1t did not take long for Captain Kelley,
who is In charge OF the station. TO have
o boat manned and rowed out TO the
stranded schooner. The sailors were
taken of at once and conveyed TO the
life saving station. When the vessel
was abandoned she was quite filed with
water and II seemed probable that with
the flood tide she would become total
wreck.
The Helen A. Maud was Of 1i2 tons
burden. She was not insured hut hei
cargo Of laths was Insured.
