The Water Witch Club. three miles
north OF Seabright. burned down 'ast
night. making a glare that was visible
far out to sea and as far west az Be!ford
The club so one OF the members said
last night. was on one OF the highest
patches of ground on the Atlantic coast
between Maine and Florida. and the spiral
of fame could he seen as far out TO sea
as the fash Of the Highland light itself.
The summer house Of y. White. New
Yorker. caught fire from the club and was
burned to the ground also For while
it looked as though the Casino. where the
cottagers have dances and amateur
theatricals in the summer would go too.
The fire got its start in the Water Witch
Club at about 8 o'clock The club had
few persons in it. but they had time enough
to get out before the flames got really to
work The nearest fire department was
at the Highlands of Navesink and the
flremen were asked to come over in q
hustle
When they got there the club was in
flames. 1t was a wooden building and
it didn't take long for the fire to sweep
! through it. The firemen looked around
for some water. but they learned that the
water supply at Water Witch doesn't
amount to much in the winter. The ocean
is about mile away and 80 far below the
level Of the club that getting water from
it was out OF the question
The firemen set out to stretch a line
from Highlands They found. however.
that they didn't have nearly enough hose
to cover the distance from the nearest
hydrant at Highlands TO the club The
Seabright fremen we're called upon. and
they hitched their hose on at the point
where the Highlands hose left on. and
between the two they managed to get a
line to the burning building. II was then
about two hours after the fire started.
There wasn't much chance then to do
anything but try to save what buildings
were left. W. b. De Haven OF the New

Mr.. Whites house was gone already and

this that the firemen gave most Of their
attention.
They had their hands full. The north.

across the upland and casting brands into

three lives had been lost
Two Of the dead were Thomas Shae
OF Bay OF Islands and James Pike Of

one Of the boats Shae was knocked into
the sea and it was impossible to save
him. A few minutes afterward Pike
was stepping into the boat when heavy
sea struck him and he was swept to death.
The steamer 8 bottom is badly damaged
but later advices were to the effect that
there was hope Of saving her.
The steamer struck heavily in the dark
ness Of the night at Port Move Point
Great seas swept the decks constantly
and it was with difficulty that the boats
were put overheard

gers the steamer crew Of twenty seven
men worked heroically under severe
conditions. the extreme cold and gale
hampering their exertions On one occa
sion boat was washed away. but finally
all hands except three men who were
swept away were landed. The women
and children were taken ashore first.

Two Frozen TO Death amt Two lncOn.
sclOus From the Gold.

BosToN, March 24.-An open boat
drifted ashore at Great Point. Nantucket,
this afternoon in which were two dead
men and two others unconscious. The
four had made up the crew OF the Erie
Railroad coal barge Stoningto on, formerly

peared from that craft when she was in
tow OF the tug Daniel Willard about mid
night Thursday. The dead were Capt.
Nelson Davis of New London and a sea-
man whose name has not been learned.
They had been frozen to death during a
twenty mile drift across Vineyard Sound
The two who were taken unconscious
from the boat by the life savers and may
not recover are a son OF Capt Davis and
an unknown seaman.
The Stonington was the last of string
of three barges that were being towed
from New York to Boston by the tug
willard. in command of Capt. Fitzgerald
When of Bass River shortly before mid
night the northwest gale was kicking up
such fuss that 1t was decided to anchor
the barges under the lee of the Cape
Signals were given to the harges to cast
anchor. and letting go the hawser the
Willard ran down to the Stonington with
the intention of lying alongside her during
the night.
Capt. Fitzgerald then found that the
Stonington had not been anchored. but
was swinging from the middle barge by a
long hawser. He then boarded the Ston-
ington. and instead OF finding the crew
aboard found eight feet Of water in the
hold and the small boat missing
On the cabin floor was a lighted red
lantern used for distress signalling. The
crew, evidently believing that the barge
was going to sink, took to their boat and
tried to row ashore. Capt Fitzgerald took
the barge in tow and made for Vineyard
Haven, hut before he reached Pollock
