OLD STREET CRIES.


Somewhere about score Of years

tiny volume of most unusual interest

Atlantic City. N. j., Jan. 15.--After
spending "a hours in terrible anxiety
lest they be wrecked and swept into
the sea, the passengers and crew. 60
in ALL of the Clyde line steamer Chero-
kee, bound from San Domingo for New
York. which went aground on the Bri-
gantine shoals Friday, have been
rescued and landed at the inlet. Cap
tain Archibald, two mates and the
ships carpenter elected to remain
aboard the steamer. The rescue was
accomplished by Captain Mark Caste
and a picked crew in the sloop yacht
Alberta, and their experience was al
most as thrilling as that of the strand
ed passengers. More than a thousand
persons greeted the storm tossed party
as the sloop sailed into the inlet with
the report that all hands we're safe
When the Cherokee ran its nose
into the sand on Friday there was no
fear for the safety of the vessel and
those on board. During the night a
moderate northeaster set in, sending
the vessel deeper into the sand. Day
light Saturday found the storm in full
blast. A heavy rain set in, and later
in the day fog settled down and the
vessel was lost to view.
The wind rose until it reached a
velocity of 33 miles an hour, and the
passengers and crew had to leave the
deck. A signal from the steamer re-
ported all hands on board at dawn to-
day.
Then it was decided that the stanch
sloop Alberta with Captain Caste at
the helm and a picked crew, should
make an attempt to reach the Chero-
kee, and, if possible, take off those on
board The Alberta got over the in
let bar in safety, and then went pitch
ing up the coast toward the stranded
steamer. They found the passengers
and most of the crew in a terrible
state of anxiety. The women were
weeping and the men were pleading
that something be done. Captain
Archibald and Captain Caste decided
to make the attempt to transfer the
passengers. Though terribly anxious
to be released from their perilous po-
sition, some of the passengers feared
to make the trip in the small boat. At
the time the sea was rough, with a
fairly stiff wind blowing.
From the shore of Brigantine beach
hundreds watched the rescue, while
away off at the Atlantic City inlet a
number of men with strong glasses
kept the anxious crowd there informed
of the progress of the rescue. A great
cheer went up when it was announced
that the Alberta, loaded with people,
was leaving the steamer. 1t did not
take the sloop long to make the run
to the inlet, where the passengers and
crew were congratulated on their safe
landing. Most of them were in an ex-
hausted condition, not having had any
sleep for 48 hours.
Later.
Captain Archibald, his two mates
and the life saving crews who had
refused to leave the steamer. Cherokee
which lies stranded on the Brigantine
shaols, two miles of shore, have at
latsa bsndonedt he vessel. Waves were
running over the deck and pounding
the pilot house, the last refuge of the
captain and his men. The officers
went ashore in one of the boats of the
Brigantine life saving crew.
The big vessel, which is valued at
about $500, 900, will probably be a
total loss.
