were the men who were obliged to
take to the water and Thurber was
nearly unconscious when picked up
The tender, which could hold but
three men, stood by the men in the
water and was also picked up by the
Sawyer. The six men were landed at
Vineyard Haven by the schooner and
left Oak Bluffs by way of New Bed

their seats while the helmsman no.
ticed the speed with which they were
raising the Vineyard Sound lightship,
when from some unknown cause, the
tanks up forward, containing two hun
dred gallons of gasoline, caught fire.
The sudden burst of flame and the
shouts of the helmsman gave instant
warning to the rest of the crew and
none too soon. There was no time to
save belongings. The three men near
est the stern leaped for the tender
and cast it loose. The other three
men, Bieling, Chapman and Thurber.
leaped overheard. Fortunately all
were good swimmers, and in the
smooth sea could keep afioat for some
time with the support of the tender.
The Kitcinque soon burned to the
waters edge. In a well travelled thor
oughfare as Vineyard sound, the men
had hopes of a speedy rescue, but two
hours went by before the lights of a
schooner were seen coming UP from
the south. To the delight of the ship
wrecked racers. the schooner, which
proved to the D. ]. Sawyer, bore d.
