FOUNDER IN
GALE; FIVE men LOST
Craft Cuts Loose From Tug in
Heavy Sea and Is Seen
No More.

Saunderstown, r. l., Aug. 2f.-The
barge Shawmont, with a crew Of five
men, bound from Philadelphia for
Portsmouth, NJ. n, broke away from
the tug Valley Forge. off ~Shinnecock,
L. l., early Tuesday morning and it
is feared that she went to the bottom
with all hands.
Five other barges bound for Provi-
dence, Boston and Newburypcrt, broke
away and fioated helpless for 10 hours
before they were picked up. One in
iured man was carried ashore for
treatment when the Valley Forge ar
rived, and he brought news of the dis
aster.
Run into Heavy Gale.
The barges left Philadelphia Sum
day in tow of the tugs Valley Forge
and Monocacy. When off Shinnecock
they ran into a heay northeast gale.
The Shawmont broke loose Tuesday
morning. AT almost the same instant
the tow of the Monocacy broke away,
and so thick was the weather that the
barges had disappeared before the tugs
could be put about.
They cruised for 10 hours before the
Valley Forge picked up the barges Mo-
line, Saucon, Wiconisco and the
Meshamang. Soon after the Monacacy
picked up the Obey. There was no
trace Of the S~hawmont, except some
wreckage and the captains finally de-
'cided she had gone to the bottom.
Barges Badly Battered.
The barges were all badly battered.
Abraham III. Sells, a deck hand on the
Saucon, was badly injured and was
taken ashore for treatment.
The missing barge was commanded
by Captain Alfred Gould. of Cape Cod.
The Shawmont was a schooner-rigged
barge of S65 ton net, 1913 feet in
length, 35 feet beam, and IL feet depth
Of hold. She was built at Noank,
Conn, in 1900.
The other members Of the crew

sponsible for his own death, which was
