We're saved
There hope that Mr.. Hutchins had been
saved, as, when he last seen. he was max
ing brave struggle through the choppy
toward Barren Island, near by. A boat sent
from this place tonight IN an effort to find him
his body. but it returned after unsuccess-
full search. and all hope that he lived was
given up.
With Captain Samuel Haskell, the party Of
nghthearted summer people started out in the
afternoon for sail on Penobscot Bay. They
had planned this as their last outing together
The wind squally. The, sloop was of the
open variety It had no deck forward and no
cabin. and it contained no ballast. as the party
Of ten weighted her down heavily. and Captain
Haskell an experienced navigator in these
waters thought that the craft would be well
balanced
They had been gone an hour when the wind
freshened. heeling the sloop well over and DASH
ing the spray the occupants. As the after-
noon drew to a close Captain Haskell decided
that the wind was too heavy and the sea TOO
choppy so he brought the sloop around and
started on a tack homeward
CAPsIzED BY A GUST.
All the party were perched high up on the
weather side as the soop cut through the
waves with the water almost coming over the
eunwales on the lee side, when Captain Has
kelI called that he was going to tack and threw
over the filler At this moment the sloop rose
high up on a wave and was exposed to the fun
h-,,nt Of the wind An unusually heavy gust
struck her she went over her beam ends
and the party of ten were thrown into the.
water.
Captain Haskell had been clinging to the sheet
and his hold had not been loosened. He saw
that the boats tender was right side up ana
shouting to Professor Crawley and Henry
Evans who were nearest to him, he olrecteo
them to make for the tender. doing so at the
same time himself. Professor Crawley how

ing for his wife. while Evans was trying Valnly
10 locate his sister.
In the mean time Haskell had gained the
tender and had clambered aboard Cutting 1t
loose from the overturned sloop. he picked up
the cars. and rowing 20 CraEVley and Evans
helped them aboard. By that time the women
were beyond help. Weighted down by their
water soaked clothes and chilled through py the
cold water. they had been unable to keep ahoat-
In some instances they had gone down cIasleu
in each others arms.
The three men in the tender found that they
were almost as incapable of giving assistance
,n the boat as they had been in the water. The
wind was too high and the sea too rough for
them to handle her. They were in grave danger
of being thrown once more into the water.
ACCIDENT SEEN FROM SHORE
The accident. however. had been seen from
Eagle Island. and as soon as possible sloop
was sent out to pick up the survivors The res
c,,;ne marty reached the tender just in time and
rr11ed the three exhausted men aboard. OF the
resi- of the party only two were in sight. and
the hoat vas headed for them. They We're Lutte
Kellogg and Miss Evans. They were uncon-
scfous and although the rescuers worked Vigor-
o1sv over them all efforts to restore life failed
The bodies were taken ashore
The boat was well back on its way to the
island before Hutchins was thought Of. Then
some one remembered that he had seen Hutchins
swimming strongly for Barren Island 1t was
too late then to change the boats course, for
by that time the young man had either gone to
the bottom or had managed 10 reach the rocks.
Hutchins was student in the senior class of
the Bangor Theological Seminary, and had been
filing pulpit AZ Sunset. on Deer Isle. for the
summer His home was in BilIerica, Mass
The calamity cast a profound gloom over this
resort Some Of the party had been here for
the greater part of the summer, and all had
become well known TO the majority Of the people
here.
