Two schooners with colors union

which has frozen Nantucket shoals
solid from Cross Rip to Chatham,
were. today. rescued by the United
states revenue cutter Gresham and
successfully towed into this port al
though parting of the hawsers made
two trips necessary. The schooners
proved to be the Forest City. ~ days
out from Savannah for Boston, and the
Edward r. Smith from Brunswick,
Ga, for Boston. Attempting to pass
through the shoals. last night, the
schooners became securely lodged in
the heavy ice to the northwest OF
Handkerchief shoal. The ice field,
stretching entirely through the shoals,
left no clear water in sight. and the
Gresham being called to the rescue
was compelled to cut it's way through
solid ice for miles before reaching the
vessels After several hours of exr
ertion, in the face of the extreme cold
The Gresham's crew, which had scarce
ly had any rest since bringing in the
schooner William E. Litchield, last
night, succeeded in placing lines
aboard both the Forest City and the
Edmund r. Smith. Heavy ice was en-
eountered in towing the vessels back
10 this port, and when part way here
the hawser to the Forest City gave
way, compelling the Gresham to aban-
con that schooner until the Edward r.
Smith could be brought into port A
return trip was then made for the For
est City, and, tonight, both vessels are
safely in port in Vineyard Haven.
Both vessels were short of food and
water and were given supplies by the
cutter.
Aid has also been asked of the

Thelma, bound light from Fall River
to Norfolk. which broke adrift when
anchored at Saunderstown. last night.
