EFFECT A DARING RESCUE
SHIPWRECKED SAILORS SAVED
BY BRAVE CREW.
Captain Takes Towboat Out to Vessel
Stranded OFF Virginia Coast
in Face Of Death.

Cape Henry. Va, March LIN the
face of almost certain destruction by
being hurled upon the same beach that
has claimed the four-masted schooner
George NJ. Grant as a victim, Capt
Meredith Partridge. of the Norfolk tow
boat Jack Twohy, Wednesday effected
one of the most daring rescues that
the annals Of the Virginia Carolina
coast record.
After life savers from the Cape Hen
ry and Virginia beach station had re-
peatedly tried to shoot line over the
stranded schooner without success on
account of her distance from shore and
had given up all hope of saving those
on board the fast going to pieces ves-
sci, because the 60-mile wind was
blowing up a sea that made the
launching of surf boat suicidal, the
little tow boat showed her nose out
side the capes and headed for the
schooner. The Grant lay within 800
yards of the beach; she is lumber
laden and her midship rails were
awash. Every sea was breaking over
her with terrific force and the seas
were running high. The schooner was
pounding viciously and Capt. Part
ridge saw it was only the matter of a
short time before the crew would be
swept off the ship. So he pointed in
shore despite the wind and wave and
came close to the Grant on the wind
ward side. From this position he
dropped a line with float and it was
carried to the schooner by the cur
rent. Once made fast, the tug veered
seaward and carefully passed to lee
ward OF the wreck. Then, with each
big sea almost hiding her from view
of those on shore. the Jack Twohy
slowly steamed bow ON to the Grant.
Two of the tugs crew stood in the
peak of the bow, and when the tug
touched the schooner's side they
reached out, grabbed one of the ship
wrecked men and pulled him to safety.
On the beach the life saving crews
of the Cape Henry and Virginia beach
stations stood by their surf boat ready
to brave almost certain death in an
attempt to rescue should the tugs
work fail, but Capt. Partridge calcu-
lated to such a nicely that each time
the tugs bow hit the schooner Il men,
Der of the latter's complement was
dragged from the deck of the wrecked
craft. When the last man had been
taken aboard the Twohy cut loose and
headed for Norfolk. From the shore
it seemed that six men were saved.
The Grant will be total loss.
