BRAVED DEATHTOSAVE CREW
Woman and IA Men Taken From
Rigging During Storm.
Schooner Hits Ledge ard Breaks in
Two. Leaving Mast, TO Which Crew
and Captains Wife Cling.

Vineyard Haven, Mass.-A pretty
and timely bit Of rescue work was
done by Captain Levi Jackson and
the four men of his fishing smack
Priscilla. They succeeded in getting
near enough to the schooner Mertie
B. Crowley to save The lives of Cap
tain Haskell, Mrs, Haskell and thir-
teen of the crew, all of whom had
been dashed in the rigging from 6
o'clock in the morning until n. m.
The Crowley hit Northeast End
Reef off Wasque Bluff, at the south
eastern end of Martha's Vineyard
Island, and in few minutes her
decks were being washed from end to
end by huge breakers.
All persons, including the captains
wife, were forced to take to the rig
ging of the forward n1asts, and it was
well that they did so, because at 10
o'clock the craft broke in two and the
after end settled down, carrying the
three masts with it,
The fifteen people astride the cross
trees of the other masts expected
every minute to be thrown into the
boiling surf, but the spars held fast
until every one of them was safely
aboard the Priscilla.
The Crowley had been hove to all
day in heavy gale and at night
Block Island light was mistaken for
that at Shinnecock. Captain Haskell
then ran in, expecting to make Block
Island, and when Edgartown light
was seen through the haze next morn
ing it was supposed to be that on the
latter island. The mistake was not
discovered until the craft was being
smashed to pieces on a jagged reef
and water was pouring into the hold.
The wreck was sighted from shore
soon after daylight, but the seas were
running so heavy that the Edgartown
fishermen were not able for hours to
drive their power smacks out to the
rescue.
Finally the thirty-seven-foote
Priscilla made her way out of Edgar
town harbor around Cape Poge and
with combined sail and gasolene pow
er got to the leeward of the Crowley,
where anchor was cast.
Then four dories were launched
and Mrs. Haskell was lowered into
the first that reached the stranded
vessel. Others Of the crew then came
down the rigging and jumped into the
small boats and were taken aboard
the Priscilla two at time
When the steward leaped for the
dory manned by Patrick Kelley he
missed it and went into the water,
capsizing the craft. Kelley got hold
of the mans clothing with one hand
and the rigging with the other and
both were picked up by another dory.

In the annual report of State Pri-
son Keeper Osborn, at Trenton, it is
stated that it costs the State $1,000 to
execute a condemned man. The total
expenditures of the prison during the
year were s26S,95S66. OF this
amount $7028.70 was expended to
carry out the six death sentences dur
ing the year. The larger part of the
expense is for the services of an cleo
trician, who places the dynamo in or
der and turns the switch that carries
the current to the death chair. When
hanging was the legal mode of execu-
tion in the State an official charged
$3.50.

Springfield Woman Who Has Never

Springfield, Mass. - Miss Louisa
Johnson, a Swedish woman, forty
years old, is in the Mercy Hospital for
treatment for fully developed case
of hookworm. In the past year Miss
johnson had been to many physicians,
and all were puzzled by her case. I'M
til about two weeks ago. Miss john
son has never lived in the South.
Doubt has been expressed among
physicians whetherthe hookworm was
ever found in the Northern States
where conditions are not favorable to
the disease. The discovery of this
case leads local physicians to believe,
however, that other cases may exist
in New England, which have passed
hitherto as anemia or intestinal af-
fections.
