trader, was badly disabled on Chesapeake
bay Sunday last by the parting of a spring
stay the strain thus thrown on the main
mast causing it to break in a half dozen
pieces. The schooner was going down the
bay and was Oft Cove Point when the
stay parted, and the mainmast with all its
sail and rigging tumbled down upon the
deck in jumbled mass. Capt. Thomas,
the master of the James. had been at the
wheel but a moment or two before the ac-
cident occurred and had gone forward.
The broken spar fell almost on the spot
where he had been standing and he would
probably have been seriously injured, If
not killed, had 1t not been for his fortu-
nate change of position. After the acci-
dent the crew of the schooner cleaned up
the wreckage as far possible and with
the foresail and jibs started to return to
