gested yesterday by a lawyer that Mr..
Schettler ought to file claim for sal

suggested, might be set up as an as

mitted him.

STEAMER IN COLLISION.
Life Saving Crew Needed to Assist
Crew of One Vessel.

Chatham, Mass Sept. 22-The two
masted schooner Herbert, bound from
Rockport, Mass, for Newport r. l.,
with cargo of granite, was In col
lision early to-day about 20 miles off
Chatham with an unknown schooner
bound east. The bowsprit and head
gear of the Herbert were carried away
and as result Of the accident she
is partly disabled and leaking. The
plight of the schooner was observed
during the morning by the life saving
crew at the Nauset station. The main
sail of the unknown schooner was
torn. According to Captain J. D. Per-
kins of the Herbert the other vessel
resumed her voyage after the collision
without offering assistance
No one was injured on the Herbert.
The captain and crew, numbering
four men, believe that the schooner
which struck their vessel was bound
for st John or some other provincial
port from the south. She was APP
parently light AS 1t was dark how
ever, the crew Of the Herbert could
not discern the name of the vessel
which resumed her course east direct
ly after the accident. 1t was observed
that her main sail was badly ripped.
The only explanation of the collision
that Captain Perkins could offer was
that in the thick gloom the lights
could not be seen.
Shortly after daybreak the Herbert
was sighted at anchor between the
Orleans and Nauset stations. She
was boarded later by Captain Walker
and several of the guard of the Maui
set station, who assisted in getting
the schooner under way. She pro-
ceeded north leaking. At the request
of Captain Perkins, Captain Walker
sent dispatch to the Rockport agent
of the Herbert asking that tugboat
be sent from Boston to tow the dam
aged schooner to that port.
The Herbert is vessel Of ia tons
and was built at East Boston in 1888.
Her home port is Gloucester.
