WENT DOWN IN THE BLIZZARD
SEVEN MEN, DOUBTLESS, sunk
WITH THE LIGHTER CLARENCE.
She Was Missing Till Yesterday. When Capt.
bradley saw Her Mast sticking Above
water on Hay Rdge--Last seen as
She sailed Into the sntrling snow.


Capt. James Bradley OF the revenue cut
ter Hudson while coming up the bay yea
terday afternoon sighted about a mile and
a half OF Bay Ridge what appeared TO be
the mast OF sunken lighter He had read
about the missing steam lighter Clarence
OF the New York and New Jersey Steamboat
Company's feet. which had not been heard
from since she sailed from Bayonne for
South Brooklyn In the blizzard on Wednes-
day. and he headed for the wreck.
He knew the Clarence we'll, and close
examination Of the submerged parts OF
the wreck convinced him that he had found
her. He reported his discovery 20 the Ship
News Office. which notified Treasurer
Hornbeok Of the steamboat company,
In the steam lighter Greylook Mr.. Horn
beck visited the wreck last night and de-
cided it was that OF the Clarence. He en-
gagged Merritt Chapman wrecking tugs
to raise her. and they will begin work to-
day. Divers will try to find the bodies of
some Of the seven men who doubtless all
persisted when she went down in the tu'nult.
The crew consisted OF Capt William
Huber OF 954 West Thirty first street
who leaves wife and two children; Nelson
Smith. engineer, of Port Even, this State;
Frank kilcomens. fireman, Of Morgan
town, ~ j.. William Lewis oolored 90 ok;
and decthands Nolan Sullivan and Kane.
The Clarence was laden with fifty tons
Of copper wire and small quantity of lubri-
eating oil. The wire was to have been
shipped TO South America by Lamport
& Holt steamship and the lighter was bound
for the Lamport Holt pier.
On Wednesday morning. about twenty
minutes past o'clock Capt. Huber called
up Treasurer Hornbeok at his otfloe at PEI
10 East River, and said he expected to stay
In Bayonne az the weather was very bad.
He apparently decided within two hours
thereafter TO lax the trip.
few minutes after 10 O'Clock Mr.. Horn
beck called up Bayonne TO tell the skipper
not 10 attempt 10 cross the roaring bay.
but learned that he had sailed The lighter
was not seen afoat after she was swallowed
up in the swirling snow. Tho bay seldom
