mate, Nelson Taunsen OF Rockland, has
been drowned Captain Winfield and the
other members of the crew came ashore
in their own boats. The vessel ran
low tide. and when the tide turned She
rolled over and sank. a thick haze which

their effects before the vessel changed her
position. Capt Winfield, Mate Taunsen
and Steward Alsen went down into the
cabin, while the other three members OF
the crew prepared the boats.

schooner began 10 roll. The captain and
steward hastily ran TO the deck. but tho
mate stayed behind. still thinking he
might save something. Suddenly the
schooner went over and the sea rushed
into the cabin. Taunsen was caught in
the trap an was drowned. His body has
not yet been recovered. The others sue
ceeded in putting off I'm their boats The
sea was smooth and they remained in
the vicinity Of the wreck until daylight.
They were sighted soon after dawn by
Capt. Kelley OF the Monomy Point life
saving station, who put out TO their as
sistance. The men. however. rowed their
own boats TO the life saving station.
