wooDALL WINS SHIP LIBEL.
Schooner Bassett Responsible for
Wreck of Schooner Whittier.

The libel suit of James Woodall
shipbuilder of Baltimore. well knows
in this city against the schooner Johr
Rassett. to recover damages for the
loss by collision of the three maste
schooner Charles A. Whittier has been
decided in favor of Mr.. Woodall by the
court of appeals for the southern dis
trct of New York.
The collision occurred on the nigh
of August 20 1905, about twenty-five
miles north of Cape Hatteras. The
Whittier was bound from Georgetown
$. c., with Il cargo of lumber for this
port, and the Bassett was from the
same port. with lumber for New York
The night was dark and murky, and all
indications pointed to a bad spell OF
weather ahead. In the mix-up between
the two vessels the f1uke of the dn-
Choir of the Bassett ripped a big hole
In the side of the Whittier at the water
line.
The vessel filled so rapidly that Cap;.
Cromwell. master of the vessel. and
the crew had no time to save any OF
their personal effects and prepared II
launch their lfeboat. but, as the vessel
was undertaken and showed no indi.
cations of sinking. the master and crew
stood by the waterlogged craft until
daylight the following morning. when
they were taken on board the Bassett
which was nearby. and on that vessel
were carried to New York
The Charles a. Whittier drifted about
in the track of navigation for months
afterward and finally disappeared a.
hurricanes. The Whittier was new
vessel built by William +. Woodall &
Co, at Baltimore, and registered ISL
tons.
