LOSS OF SCHOONER
SURVIVING SAILOR TELLS OF REU-
 LAH MsCARE.
YeJO SJOholm Was Adrift on a Raft Ten Days Bef0re He Was Res
 cued-COmpanions
 Were Drowned.

Mobile. Oct. 7.-(special. )-Arriving in Mobile this afternoon, Yejo SIoholm. the only survivor of the wrecked schooner Beulah McCabe, corrected the impression which had gained circula- tion that the McCabe went down stern first, SJoholm stating that the schooner capsized when caught in the heavy blow.
 The story that the schooner had foundered was given little or no cre- dence in marine circles due to the fact that mariners knew the vessel was lumber-laden and the cargo would be thrown overheard when the hurricane struck her. This proves true, Sioh olm stating that the schooner was light at the time she turned turtle. catching Captain Bailey beneath the ship and drowning him.
 The other members of the crew float ed about for time, but sunk out of sight, Sjoholm and a companion es- caping on a raft. His companion died on the seventh day. Sjoholm was res- cued by passing ship on the tenth day,
