SCH, ISLESBORO ABANDONED.

Crew RESCUED After Clinging for 13 Hours
to the Afterhouse Roof.
New YORK, Nov. IT, Eight shipwrecked
sailors, the captain and crew of the three
masted sch ooner Islesboro, who were res
cued from their storm battered, waterlogged
craft after a terrible experience in the
hurricane which swept over the Atlantic
seaboard early in the week, were brought
here today on the British st Gamer Atholl
which arrived from Yokohama and other
Far Eastern ports. The rescue was made
in the dangerous seas off Cape Henry,
north of Hatteras, while the waves wer,
breaking over the helpless craft fore and
aft.
Huddled on the roof OF the after house,
Where they had been driven as the schooner
settled until her decks were washed and
swept by every wave, the crew OF the Isles
boro had nearly abandoned hope when the
steamer hove in sight and in answer to
their signal of distress sent boat to
their assistance. Once on the Atholl the
men were given food and warm clothing
and made as comfortable as possible, so
that they showed little of the effects of
their terrible experience when they arrived
here today. According to the story told by
Captain Trim, of the Islesboro, he sailed
from Savannah, Ga, Nov. 9, bound for New
Bedford. Mass, with cargo of yellow pine
The voyage up the coast was uneventful
until Sunday, Nov. 18th, when the wind
increased to gale and soon assumed hurr-
e,ne proportions. Sail was shortened and
the schooner fought it out with the
elements, but one by one the pieces Of can
vass were ripped away.
The storm became so violent that nothing
remained but to put about and run before it.
From l O'clock in the afternoon until mid
night the lSlesbOrO ran before the gale with
out sail. The storm increased in violence
with every hour and the great waves pound
ing the schooner necessarily threatened to
crush her. At midnight it was found that
some of her butts had been started from the
force of the seas and that she was leaking
badly. From that time the hold filled rapid
ly and within an hour her decks were awash.
All efforts to navigate the schooner were
then abandoned and Captain Trim and his
crew sought salty on the deck of the after
house. For 13 hours the men clung to their
precarious positions on the narrow roof
while the 1slesbOrO pitched ana tossed in
the turbulent sea and was swept from end
to end by every wave. Every hour made
their position more desperate. With the
first sight of the Atholl, however, there
came renewed hope and soon they were
safe on board the steamer. Captain Trim
believes the Islesboro is total wreck.
The lsleSbOrO was built at Alexandria,
Va, in 1882 and hailed from New York
She was 626 tons net 1856 feet long, 35.5 feet
beam and 1875 feet deep.
