WRECK Of VESSEL
HOWARD B. PECK
Lumber-Laden Schooner Went
Out Of Course in Fog and
Ran Ashore.
CREW TAKEN OFF AND SAVED

NEW YORK. February 15.-The lum-
ber-laden schooner Howard B. Peck,
bound from Wilmington, N. c., for
New Bedford. Mass, went ashore one
mile west of Fork River lfe-saving
station, on the south shore OF Long
Island. early to-day. Her captain and
crew of six men succeeded in reaching
shore in safety. The schooner is lying
inside Of the outer bar, pounding heav-
lily. and her cargo of lumber is being
washed ashore.
The Peck got out of her course dur
ing a fog while coming up the coast
last night, and was caught close to
the shelving beach off Fork River.
when the wind suddenly shifted to the
south and increased to half gale.
Rockets and torches were burned while
the vessel was drifting towards the
beach, and gave the warning Of disas-
ter to the life-saving patrol on the
beach. Before daylight the vessel
grounded on the outer bar, $50 yards
from the shore. and began to pound
heavily. while her deck load washed
about the decks. smashing the houses
and threatening the lives OF her crew.
Heavy seas raked the vessel broad
side and drove the shivering crew into
the rigging, where they chung for hours
until daylight came and revealed the
locationto of the vessel to the life-savers
of the Forked River and Bellport sta
lions. who We're waiting on the beach.
Between the shipwrecked crew and
life savers the surf was rolling so high
that no lfeboat could be launched.
Brccchcs Buoy In Action.
The Lyle gun was brought into use,
line was sent for tying over the
wreck and the brooches buoy apparatus
set up. One by one the members of
the crew and Captain Todd were pulled
ashore in the buoy and taken to the
life-saving station
Meantime the vessel was driven in
over the bar and lay broadside on the
beach water-logged and breaking up.
1t is believed the Peck will be a total
loss.
