MARINE MISCELLANY.
Provincetown, Mass, Oct 8: Sch. Eugene
Borda, from StODingtOn for New IOrk, is
topsail and forestaysail; hull strained and
Port Fades, Oct. 10. Brig Jennie Hubert
of New York, previously reported water
| logged and abandoned, was picked up so
miles off South Pass by the steam pilot boat
| Underwater and tOwed to Port Fades.
| WRECK OF SCH. HELEN CROSBY. In
heavy northwest gale last Thursday night
| the four-masted Bath schooner Helen b.
| Crosby was wrecked on Bay Lodges, two
miles south of Browns Head light, vlnal,
haven, at the ENTRANCE to oa FOX ds snra
on Drunkard ledge, and as trying to make
the thoroughfare on her way up river,
which is absurd of course, as that would
have been going out of her way: A later
report says that "Capt. Wallace mlstook the
lights in the cottage of Louis lerzog, North
Haven (Crabtree's Point) for Negro Island
| light at the entrance to Camden harbor."
| That seems hard to understand, as Camden
! light is on the port hand in coming up the
bay and the light at the entrance to Rock
as the light on Browns Head. The schoon-
er began to fill as soon as she struck. Capt:
| C. T. Wallace of Bath, Mate c. d. Lang of
Brooklyn, n. Y, and four OF the crew de-
cided to remain aboard, but Mrs. Wallace
and the other members OF the crew landed
dangerous four hours battle in the heavy
seas in a twenty-foot gasolene launch. The
schooner is half mile inside the can buoy
! designating Bay Lodges. The bow and stern
are resting on the Lodges, with about 30 feet
of water under the middle of the craft. The
had the general appearance of breaking up.
The cargo of 5000 tons of coal, shipped at
Norfolk for the Northern Maine Seaport
Railroad, was valued at $4,000 and insured.
The vessel, owned principally by the Cros-
by Navigation Co. of Bath, was valued at
$4,000 and insured. The Helen b. Crosby
was launched at Bath Jan. 10, 1906 Later
reports indicate that the schooner may be
fioated. All day Sunday the wreckers were
removing coal from the hold with great
buckets holding about 200 pounds each and
! dumping it on the deck where the tide
washes it off. The schooner has been about
half stripped of rigging. Her stern is badly
twisted and the mizzen and spanker masts
are out of line with the others. The vessel
has a heavier list to port than when she first
struck. Captain J. NJ. Lewis, the master
wrecker of the Boston Towboat Co., said
Sunday that he believed the schooner could
be f1oated Most of the marine insurance
men who have visited her are also of that
opinion.
