err side. as the sloop cut through the
waves with the water almost coming over
| the Sunwales on the lee side.
Capt. Haskell gave shout of warning
that he was going to tack and then threw
| over the tiller. Just at this moment the
| boat rose high up ON a wave. exposing
| her to the fall brunt of the wind.
| An unusually heavy gust struck her. In
twinkling the sloop went over on her
| beam ends and the party of ten were
| thrown into the water.
For one brief moment it was every one
| for ones self.
! Capt Haskell took in the situation in
one quick glance. He had been clinging
| to the sheet and his tenacious hold had
not been loosened by the sudden plunge
into the ice cold waters of the Maine
| coast.
| He saw that the boats tender was right
side up. Shouting to Prof. Crawley and
Henry Evans, who were nearest to him
he directed them to make for the tender,
doing so at the same time himself.
Prof. Crawley. however. still chung to
the overturned sloop. looking for his wife
Evans was trying vainly to locate his
sister.
None of the Women Saved.
In the meantime Haskell had gained
the tender and had clambered aboard.
Cutting it loose from the overturned
sloop he picked up the oars: Bringing
the boat up near Crawley and Evans he
helped them aboard, persuading them the
only way they could help the woman folks
was from the rowboat.
But even. then the women were beyond
help. Weighted down by their water
soaked clothes and chilled through by the
cold water, they had been unable to keep
themselves af1oat.
Some had grabbed the person nearest
them by the neck. In some instances

each others arms.
The three men in the tender found that
they were almost incapable of giving
assistance in their boat as they had been
in the water. The wind was too high and
| the sea too rough for them to handle the
small boat. They were in grave danger
themselves of being thrown once more
into the water.
The upset. however. had been seen from
Eagle Island, not far from the scene OF
the accident 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 ex-
hausted men aboard.
or the rest of the party but two were
in sight. The boat was headed for them.
| They were Lutte Kellogg and Miss Evans.
They were unconscious. Although the
rescuers worked vigorously over them all
efforts to restore life failed.
The bodies were taken ashore.
The boat was we'll back on its way to
the. island before the fate Of Hutchins
was recalled. Then some one remem-
bered that he had seen Hutchins swim
ming strongly for Barren Island.
1t was too late then to change the
boats course By that time the young
man had either gone to the bottom or
! had managed to reach the rocks.
Hutchins was student in the senior
nary, and had been filing pulpit at
Sunset, on Deer Isle, for the summer. His
home was in Billerica, Mass.
Two Bodies Recovered.
The bodies of Lutte Kellogg and Miss
Evans were recovered. There was some
hope that Mr.. Hutchins had been saved,
as when last seen he was making brave
| struggle through the choppy seas toward
Barren Island, nearby.
A boat was sent from Deer Isle last
night In an effort to locate him or his
body.
Later advices state that the boat sent
to Barren Island to hunt for Hutchins re-
turned unsuccessful 1t is considered
practically certain that Hutchins sank be-
fore he could reach the rocks of the
island.
The calamity cast a profound gloom
over Deer Isle. Some of the party had
been there for the greater part of the
| summer, and all had become well known
to the residents.
Miss Elizabeth G.. Evans was, during
the last year. teacher in the English
department of Mount Holyoke College and

Wellesley College and is known to have
taught in a high school in Dayton, Ohio,
previous TO coming to Mount IIolyoke.
Henry~B. Evans is not known In South
Hadley, where the college is located.

from Deer Island are incorrectly given.

given as the victim of the accident could
not be the wife of the professor, as stated.
1t is possible Mrs. Lucy 8. Crawley was
some other member Of the family.
