! way by Gains and head winds and when
off Thatchers Island she lost some of
her sails and others were damaged.
She worked her way back of Cape Cod
and proceeded all right until Sunday
morning, when she could get no farther
on account of the head winds and lack
! of sails, and she was forced to anchor
off Bass river about two miles off shore
from South Yarmouth. She stayed
there until Monday night. The sea had
been running high all day and during
the night she thrashed about, pulling
hard on her two anchor chains. About
I O'Clock this morning one of the an
Choir chains parted. The other resisted
the terrific strain until 10 o'clock, when
/ this, too, parted, leaving the schooner
at the mercy OF the waves. The wind
at this time was blowing nearly 60
miles an hour and the rain was coming
! down in sheets. An awful sea was
running and it was impossible for the
crew to manage the vessel. Driven by
the wind and tide she quickly came in
| shore. When she struck the first shoal
| her keel was torn off and she soon filled
She was rendered buoyant by the load
of lumber she carried and came bump
ing along from shoal to shOal until she
seas had a complete sweep over her and
for their lives, while the immense
combers broke over the ship and threat
ened every moment to take the masts
out of her. The men suffered greatly
from the exposure, but managed to
keep their hold. Only one boat was on
the schooner and that was filled with
water and practically impossible to get
into shape to venture out to get ashore.
Shortly after the vessel struck the last
shoal she was sighted from here.
There is no lifesaving station here,
but word was sent to Charles H. Davis,
a business man of Boston and New
York, who has a summer residence
, here, and he put out at considerable
risk in his large power boat IldicO, with
couple of men from his crew. They
were forced to 60 into the very teeth Of
the gale to reach the schooner and pass
directly over the bar on which she was
held fast. Owing to the heavy sea run
ming the power boat could not come up
alongside the schooner, but anchored
under her lee. After about an hours
work the crew of the three master got
their boat emptied of water and afloat
and, making line fast to the schooner
and sending the other end on board the
power boat, they drifted along the line
and were taken on board the boat by
Mr.. Davis and his crew. The small
boat in which they put off from the
vessel was towed astern. When the
shipwrecked men had been taken ashore
the power boat put back to the schoon-
er to save what property was possible
and the clothing Of the sailors, the cap
tain's belongings, the ships compass
and two kittens were saved. After
this had been accomplished the life
saving crew from the Monomoy station
at Chatham arrived at the vessel, not
knowing that the crew had been taken
off, but finding nothing for them to do,
returned. Capt. Hatch comes from
Islesboro, Me. The members of the.
crew are F. L. league of Goldsboro,
Me-, mate; Willard Bowden of Penob-
scot, Me-, cook; Clifford Pendleton of
Islesboro, Me-, Otto Olsen of Provi-
dence, James Sullivan of Yarmouth
and Peter Anderson of Denmark.
