SIX FISHERMEN PERISH.
French Brigantine Strikes on Point
Blanche in Thick Fog.

st Pierre, Miquelon. June six
fishermen lost their lives when the
French brigantine Mauve struck on
Point Blanche, while entering St.
Pierre in a thick fog early today.
Most of the crew were in their berths
when the Mauve struck. and it is con
sidered miraculous among the sea-
faring population OF this island that
not more than six of the % men on
board persisted The 10 survivors
reached shore only after a most try
ing experience. The Mauve had been
fishing on the Grand Banks and was
headed for st. Pierre with a splendid
catch of 100 quintals of fish.
Last evening a heavy fog set in but
the skipper of the Mauve, thoroughly
familiar with the coast along the
southern Newfoundland shore. did not
anticipate any trouble in making St.
Pierre harbor
Aided by favoring breeze, the
Mauve tore holes through the blanket
of fog and was running free towards
this port. little after l a. NJ. today
there was q sudden crash as the Mauve
brought up hard on Point Blanche. In
the darkness and fog the fishermen did
not know where they were, and for a
long time there was no answering
shout to their signals for assistance.
Six of the crew We're thrown over
board by the force of the vessels
grinding and all OF the six men lost
were drowned. Boats were lowered,
RATS were hastily constructed and the
remainder of the crew finally reached
the shore. The Mauve is believed t.
be a total loss. She hailed from Can
Gale France.
