would be most humiliating for them to

WRECKS LINE JERSEY COAST
Two Schooners Pound to Pieces and
Third One Is Doomed.
Crews Of Wrecks saved In Teeth of
4O-knot Gale hy Prompt Work
OF Life-savers.

Long Branch, n. J., Nov. BIN the
teeth Of a forty-knot gale out Of the
southeast. filled with binding snow, and
hurting the spindrift high over the Jersey
beaches. two schooners went ashore to-
day near here. Their crews were rescued
with difficulty by means Of the breeches
buoy. A third schooner, whose name
is unknown, was approaching Spring
Lake Beach. with every indication Of
stranding, about dusk.
The gale had stripped the vessels Of
their sails and made navigation well-nigh
impossible for any but the strongest craft
The first boat 10 go ashore was the two
masted schooner, James NJ. Hall, Captain
Hsllock. lumber-laden. No sooner had the
life-sav!ng crew at Deal Beach sighted the
Han, than they made out the three-rnast-
er. Samuel C. Holmes, Captain Evans.
also lumber-laden. which stranded less
than a half mile from the first schooner.
The jury sails. with which the crews had
replaced the canvas torn away earlier in
the storm. were blown from the masts the
second the vessels struck the breakers.
Owing 20 the terrific surf which was
piling high on the sands. Capt. William
Van Brunt and his life-saving crew
were unable to launch the Hfeboat, but
they sent three lines aboard the Hall.
The crew Of tae stranded schooner
hauled a heavier line aboard. and 10 this
was attached the breeches buoy. by
which Capt. Hallock and his crew OF
eight men we're safely carried ashore
over the 100 yards Of Intervening breakers.
The Iife-savers then hurried 10 the
Holmes. which was pounding on the
beach. Their task here was more diff
cult. owing 10 the greater distance the
buoy line had 10 be fired. But after sew
eral attempts a line was got aboard and
Capt Van Brunt and his men were
rescued
BY nightfall the schooner Hall had
broken up and her cargo Of lumber was
being scattered for several miles along
the beach. The Holmes held better. but.
with the terrific seas that were running.
she was evidently doomed.
