LINER GROUNDS IN FOG.
Wreckers Make Quick Run to Semi
mole, off Point Pleasant.

The Clyde liner Seminole from Turks Island
freight for this city, went aground at noon yes
terday in dense fog off Point Pleasant n J.
She lies close to the shore in about twelve feet
OF water. As soon the Seminole's keel
scraped the shoal Captain Mckenzie reversed his
engines. but her impetus carried her too far into
shallow water to back away. The captain sent
a wireless message to the station at Monmouth
Beach giving his approximate position and asked
the operator to have the Merritt Chapman
Nrecking Company send him assistance.
Within sixteen minutes after the message left
the Seminole the big wrecking tug Relief and
fog to Point Pleasant but the wreckers were ur-
able to get there in time for high water which
was at o'clock p m.
Superintendent Haven of the Lifesaving Ser
vice went to Point Pleasant and directed the
lfesavers from the ManasQuan and Point Pleas
TO find the steamer at first, picked up her fog
signals and went alongside. There was prac-
tically no sea running, and they had diff
Guilty in getting aboard. They offered to take
the crew and the sixteen passengers ashore, but
all declined the invitation, as the steamer n
danger.
The lifesavers remained board until the
wrecking tug arrived. An effort made TO
release the Seminole, but she could not be
moved. The Relief will try again at high water
this morning.
