life savers. after a six hours battle
added another victory against the sea
10 their long list of remarkable res
cues. when they brought safely to land
the captain and crew-seven souls IN
all-from the three-masted schooner
Arlington. of Boston. which went
ashore in the driving rain and FOG on
Long Beach, on the south shore oil
Long Island.
The eighth member of the crew,
Madden Pierson a Swede. VINO put on
from the schooner on raft with the
hope of reaching the shore with a
line. was swept out to sea by the tide
and lost sight of. 1t is believed that
he perished. 1t was at first reported
that Pierson had been picked mp five
miles 10 the north. near Rockaway
Beach. but this was not borne out.
The rescue from the schooner was
witnessed by cheering guests OF the
Nassau hotel at Long Beach and by
hundreds of cOttagers And. strangely,
the hotel was indirectly responsible
for the vessels plight for Captain Ira
Small. after having lost his bearings,
nistook the glimmering lights In the
structure for those of liner In mid

Immediately.
Boats and life preservers went with
the first crash and the masts, which
bent to the gale and appeared likely

an unsafe shelter TO the captain. He
and the crew accordingly climbed out
on the bowsprit.
The life savers reached the scene
soon after daybreak. They worked
frantically. but in vain. trying to shoot
line to the wreck. The high seas and
wind made this impossible, but per
severance won the day. After six fu-
tile attempts they succeeded in get

to the lee Of the wreck. and the res
cue Of the imperiled sailors followed.
Aside from a broken ankle sustain
ed by the cabin boy and the suffering
incident TO exposure. which all sus-
tanned. no one was seriously injured.

U. S. Custom Officer, George Barcelo
reported on his arrival in the city Friday
afternoon further activity in the
extension Of the Mowbray, Man, branch
of the G. P. Ry, a cross the boun-
Diary line into Cavalier county. Since
the arrival of four cars of heavy steel
rails on the freight of Wednesday other
material has put in an appearance and
official assurance is given the rumor that
the road will be extended east into this
county this fall. This is contradictory
to a report that obtained publicity quite
recently, but farmers to the north along
the boundary line look favorably upon
the developments of the past few days,
in fact the greater number have never
questioned but that the joining of the
Canadian Pacific and 500 lines of rail
roads in the building of a north and
south road would materialize. The only
question that arose in their minds was
would it be this year or next year and 1t
begins to look as thought were schedul-
ed to be built now before the snow flies.
The next question asked is how far and
in which direction will it 60.
