THE JANE PALMER ASHORE
She Strands on Great Rip OFF the Eas-
tern End of Nantucket.
(By the Associated Press

Nantucket, Mass, May 2O.-The
five masted schooner Jane Palmer,
laden with 5000 tons of coal. is ashore
on Great Rip, off the east end of the
island of Nantucket. The crew is
safe.
The schooner was bound from New
port News, Va, to Portland and went
aground during the night. The crew
landed in the schooners boats today.
The Jane Palmer registers 1888 tons.
The managing owner is William b.
Palmer of Boston. The schooner lies
in an exposed position on the souther-
ly end of Great Rip. eight miles south
east of Sankaty Head. Around her
there is % feet of water. When she
was loaded at Newport News she drew
2S feet in ches. Captain Wiley says
he encountered bad weather with fog
from late yesterday afternoon until
the schooner struck. Signals were
burned continually during the night,
but on account of the thick weather
the flames were not seen from this
island. Heavy seas dashed against
the stranded craft all night, but she
was apparently not seriously injured.
