Capt. Haskell, in charge of boat, Deer
Isle.
The bodies of Miss Lutte kellogg and
Miss Evans were recovered There was
some hope at first that Mr. Hutchns
had been saved. as when last seen he
was making a brave struggle through
the chOppy seas toward Barren island
near by. A boat was sent from this
place tonight in an effort to locate him
or his body, but returned unsuccessful
and his death is now regarded as GER
tain.
The wind was from the southwest and
squally. The sloop was of the open
variety. 1t had no deck forward and no
cabin, as many of the small Maine boats
have. and it contained no ballast. as the
party often weighted the boat down
quite heavily and Capt. Haskell, an eX-
Dprlencp1 navigator 1hpSn
thought that the craft would be well bal
anced
Wind Heels Sloop Over.
All the party were perched high up on
the weather side, as the sloop cut
through the waves with the water almost
coming over the gunwales on the lee
side, when Capt. Haskell gave shout of
warning that he was going to tack, and
then threw over the tiller. An unusually
heavy gust struck her, and i'll a twinkling
the SlOOp went over on her beam ends
and the party of ten were thrown into
the water.
Capt. Haskell saw the boats tender
was right side up and, shouting to Prof.
Crawley and Henry Evans. who Were
nearest him, he directed them to make
Tor the tender, doing so at the same time
himself Prof. Crawley, however, still
chung to the overturned slOOp, looking for
his wife, while Evans was trying vainly
to locate his sister.
Men Nearly Exhausted.
The upset, however, had been seen
from Eagle island, not far from the
scene of the accident, and as soon as
possible sloop was sent out to pick up
the Survivors. The rescuing party
reached the tender just in time and
pulled the three exhausted men aboard.
OF the rest of the party but two We're
in sight, and the boat was headed for
them. They were Lutte Kellogg and Miss
Evans. They were unconscious. and al
though the rescuers worked vigorously
over them all efforts to restore life failed
The bodies were taken ashore.
