New York, Oct. Caught in one
of the fierce hurricanes that recently
have been lashing the south Atlantic,
Americas cup defender, the Mayfow-
er, came to grief last Saturday while
on her way with her crew of Har-
ward students to searchlfor the tabled
galleon sunk off the coast of Jamaica
with rich treasure in her hold. The
Panama railroad line steamer Ad-
vance brought the news of the dis
aster when she arrived today from
the canal zone in the Republic of Pan
anna. Capt. Hummel said the Advance
had been hove to for eight hours, SO
violent was the gale and so high were
the seas, when, resuming his course,
ne sighted last Saturday small ves-
sci dismasted and flying signals of
distress. She turned out to be the
Mayfower. They were then about 300
miles east of the Florida coast and
the gale still was raging. The little
craft with only the stump of her main
mast standing and little bit of sail
set to steady her, was riding the storm
gallantly. The Advance stood by for
five hours without being able to launch
a boat. At length an unknown fruit
steamer came along. The Advance
left her standing by the disabled boat.
Capt. Hummel said he saw five men
on the deck of the Mayflower. They
were probably the four Harvard stu
dents and their navigator. In addi-
tion they carried out of this port on
September 10, Japanese who was
to act as cook.
