The Hall with her cargo will be a total
loss. The Holmes it is thought wiz be

would reach New York despite the storm
which was tossing his little craft. When
OF Elberon the Hall broke her foregah
and the vessel, having previously sprung
"A leak. became waterlogged. Capt. York
ordered all the sails shortened and came in
under a reeied foresail on his mast. This
small canvas was stripped. He could see
the life saving station at Tallahassee Lake
and mad an effort to land as nearly opposite
as possible. The high surf drove his vessel
several hundred yards south.
Capt. York had displayed distress signals
and the life savers were on the shore ready
for action. They shot a line to the schooner

Capt. Evans blames the high winds for
his Bleaching. The Holmes left York River,
Va, on Monday. loaded with Pine
lumber consigned to New York. Car Z,
Evans said Re as satisfied early this morn
ing that there was little hoT q Of saving
his schooner from being beache cd. He
was greatly harassed by changing wirds
