Vacation Season..Women Weighted
Down By Water-Soaked Clothing
and Not One Was Saved--Were
Prominent In Social Circles
Deer Isle, Me-, Sept "A tragic
close was brought to a happy summer
spent on this island resort off the Maine
coast when seven prominent vacation
lists out OF party of ten were drowned
by the capsizing of thirty five-foot
sloop in Penobscot bay. The drowned:
Miss Alice Talro and Miss Eleanor
Tairo, Washington, sisters; Miss Evelyn
Kellogg and Miss Lutte Kellogg, Balti
more sisters; Miss Eliza beth G. Evans
South Hadley, Mass; Jason II. Hutch
ms, Billerica, Mass; Mrs Lucy S.
Crawley, Philadelphia.
The saved are: Captain Haskell of
Deer Isle; Professor Edward Crawley
of Philadelphia, husband Of Mrs. Craw-
ley; Henry B. Evans, Mt Holyoke,
brother of Miss Eizab beth Evans.
All of the victims were among the
best known among the summer people
here and were prominent in social and
educa tional circles in their winter
homes
With Captain Samuel Haskell the
party of summer people started out for
a sail In Penobscot bay. 1t was draw
ing near the close of the vacation sea-
son for some of them and they had
planned this as their last outing to-
gether. The sloop was of the open"
variety and 1t contained no ballast as
the party Of ten weighted the boat
down quite heavily and Haskell thought
the human ballast sufficient.
The party had scarcely been gone an
hour before the wind freshened up,
beeing the sloop we'll over and dash
ing the spray upon the occupants, much
to their glee. There was no thought
of danger until the afternoon was
drawing to a close, when Haskell de-
cided that the wind was too heavy for
his boat and the sea too chOppy, so he
brought the boat around and started a
tack hOmeward-
All the party We're perched high up
on the weather side, as the slOop cut
through the waves with the water al
most coming over the gunwales on the
lee side when Haskell gave a shout of
warning that he was going to tack. and
then threw oger the tilies. just at
this nomeaE the boat rose high up on a
wave. An unusually heavy gust of
