SAVED FROM
DISASTER

The alertness OF Capt Charles S Curtis
OF the Rose Island lighthouse and a
momentary rift in the fog probably saved
disastrous shipwreck on Rose Island
rocks.
Capt Curtis went 20 Newport today and
reported that during a thick fog which
prevailed OF the island yesterday morn
ing he heard steamers whistle, ap-
parently nearby.
Running out on the rocks in the dlrec-
tion OF the sound just as the fog lifted for
a few seconds. he saw long, black yes
sci with her decks crowded with pas
sengers steaming bow on towards shore.
Making a megaphone OF his hands capt.
Curtis shouted warning 10 the steamer.
It was apparently heard for the ship be
gan 10 reverse her engines Immediately
and when within 200 feet OF a dangerous
ledge just off the shore. she backed of
and disappeared again in the fog.
Capt Curtis said he could not make
out the teamers name but thought she
was bound either for Providence or Fall
River She was evidently some distance
out OF her course.
