SCHOONER SINKS.
Collision Occurs OF Barnegat Light
Captain, His Wife and Two
Seamen Lost.

New York, Nov. 12.-Capt. Robert
Walton, his wife and two seamen, lost
their lives Wednesday night of Barne-
gat light, when the United States sup
ply ship Culgoa cut down the Norfolk
lumber schooner Wilson and Hunting.
Three members Of the crew, the mate,
cook and seaman, were rescued by
the Culgoa and were brought here Fri
day. The accident occurred, according
to the survivors. about seven o'clock
In the evening. The schooner was ten
miles west of Barnegat, lacking on
shore, when she was struck by the Gull
goa. which was making for New York.
The steel bow Of the supply ship struck
the schooner nearly amidships and cut
half way, throwing the smaller vessel
on her beam ends. The Culgoa kept on
at full speed, with the intention Of
keeping the schooner fastened to it's
bow until the crew could be rescued.
The gaping hole in the side Of the sail
ing vessel was so large, however, that
IT slid of to one side. A boat from
the Culgoa rescued three men. No 9TH
ers were seen and it is thought that
Capt. Wilson went below after his wife
when the collision occurred and that
they were both drowned, with two sea-
men, who were in their hunks.
