 With Capt. Samuel Haskell the party started out Tuesday afternoon Tor a sail in Penobscot bay The sloop was of the "open" variety. It had no deck forward and no cabin 1t contained no ballast as the party of ten weighted the boat down quite heavily. Capt Haskell, an experienced navigator in these waters, thought that the craft would be we'll balanced
 All the party were perched high npon the weather side. as the sloop cut through the waves with the water almost coming over the gunwales on she lee side, when Capt, Haskell gave ! shout of warning that he was going .o tack and then threw over the tiller. lust at this moment the boat rose high up on a wave. exposing her to the full brunt of the wind. An un usually heavy gust struck her and 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 ,ne for one's self. Capt. Haskell. how sver. had been clinging to the sheet and his tenacious hold had not been oosened by the sudden plunge into the ce cold waters. He saw that the boats tender was right side up and shouting to Prof. Crawley and Henry Evans, he directed them to make for bhe tender, doing so at the same time aimseif. Prof. Crawley, however. still ,lung to the overturned sloop, looking Tor his wife. while Evans was trying gainly to locate his sister.
 In the meantime Haskell had gained the tender and had clambered aboard. Cutting 1t loose from the overturned sloop, he picked up the oars and bringing the boat up near crawley and Evans helped them aboard, persuading them that the only way they could help the women folks was from the rowboat But even then he women were beyond help. Weight ed down by their watersoaked cloth Ing and chilled they had been unable 70 keep themselves afloat Some had grabbed the person nearest them by the neck and in some instances they had gone down together, clasped in zach others arms.
