 The bodies of Lutie Kellogg and Miss Evans were recovered. There was some hope that MT. Hutchins had been saved. as when last seen he was mak- ing a brave struggle through the choppy seas towards Barren Island nearby. A boat was sent from this place tonight in an effort to locate him or his body.
 Their Last Outing.
 With Captain Samuel HaAkell, the party of lIghtheared summer people started out this afternoon for sail in Penobscot bay. It was drawing near the close of the yachting season for most of them and they had planned this as their, last outing together. The wind was from the southwest and squally. The sloop was of the "open" variety. It had no deck forward and
 n hQl1nEt as the party of ten weighted the boat down quite heavily. and Captain Has, kell, an experienced navigator In these waters, thought that the craft would he well balanced. The party had scarcely been gone an hour before the wind freshened up. heeling the sloop well over, and dashing the spray upon the occupants. Late In the aft ernoon, Captain Haskell decided that the wind was too heavy for his boat and the sea too choppy. so he brought the sloop around and started on a tack homeward.
 All the party were perched high up on the weather side as the sloop cut through the waves with the waterfall most coming over the gunwales on tho lee side, when Captain Haskell gave n shout of warning that he was going to tack and threw over the tiller. Just at this moment the boat rose high up on a wave, exposing her to the full brunt of the wind. An unusually heavy gust struck her, and in twink ling the sloop went over on her beam ends and the party of ten were thrown into the water.
 For one brief moment 1t was every one for ones self. Captain Haskell had been cIinging to the sheet and he quickly saw that the boats tender was right side up. Shouting to Professor Crawley and Henry Evans, who were nearest him, he directed them to make for the tender, doing so himself. Pro- lessor Crawley, however, still chung to the overturned sloop looking for his wife, while Evans WAS trying vain Iy to locate his sister.
 In the meantime Haskell had gained the tender and had clambored aboard. Cutting 1t lose from the overturned sloop he picked up the oars, and bringing the boat up near Crawley and Evans helped them aboard. Weighted down by their watersoake ed clothes and chilled through by tho cold water, the women had been un- able to keep themselves afloat. some had grabbed the person nearest them by the neck and in some instances they had gone down together, clasped in each other's arms.
 The three men in the tender saw that they were almost incapable of giving assistance in their boat as they had been in the water. The wind was too high and the sea was too rough for them to handle the small boat. They were in grave danger themselves of being thrown once more into the water.
 Witnessed From Ashore.
 The upset, however, had been seen from Eagle Island, not far from the scene of the accident, and as soon as possible a sloop was sent out to pick up the survivors. The rescuing party reached the tender just fin time and pulled the three exhausted men aboard. Of the rest of the party but two were In sight and the boat was headed for them. They were Lutie Kellogg and Miss Evans. They were unconscious and although the rescuers worked wig
