TWO ASHORE ON FISHERS ISLAND
Three Masted Schooners Maggie Ellen and Estee Struck Land in Thick Weather-Lfe Savers Rescued Crew of the Maggie Enen-Captain and Men From the Estele Got Of in Their Own Boat.

mond, Me, for New York. had five men aboard. Working the surfboat up to the schooners lee without being dashed to pieces in the seas was a dif1cult job for the life savers from the Fishers Island station, but they got in close enough for the men to jump from the rail into the lifeboat.
 Meanwhile the Estelle's crew caught sight of signal rockets further west ward along the beach and saw the glare of the surfmens torches. They knew that help would be at hand as soon as the life savers could get to them The prospects to Capt. John P Phillips, who is a fellow townsman of Captain Hooper in Portland, did not appear good unless he and his five men helped themselves.
 The Esteile showed signs of not being able to hold together for long. Her deck load of spruce lumber was awash. Captain Phillips ordered the men to take to the boat and headed off shore. It was dangerous to try 10 land on the exposed beach with waves running high, and the Estelles crew came around through the Race with wind and tide in their favor, tighten ing the labor of rowing.
 Capt. Arthur L. Lanphere of the Fishers Island life saving station is taking care of the Maggie Ellen's crew until arrangements for transporting the men from the island can be made.

Two three -masted schooners, the Maggie Ellen of Portland and the Es- telle of Sag Harbor, are on the beach on, the south shore of Fishers Island, near the west end. They ran on in the heavy weather of Wednesday night. Wreckers who have visited the schoon- CTS say that nothing can be done until the surf goes down.
 Life savers took off the Maggie FL lens crew. While they were busy in their surfboat the Estelle brought up on the beach. Her crew got off in the schooner's yawl, but could not beach the little boat in the breakers and came around Race Point to land in New London.
 It was thick weather and the wind blew a gale out of the southeast when the three masters went aground. They had been running before the wind across Block Island sound, each skip ner laying course for Race Rock, to run in past that beacon and make New London harbor before heavier weather came Then it grew dark fast and the lights were shut out. The schooners held their courses as well as they could, but both got too far to eastward of Race Point and instead of picking up" the fog siren struck the combers too late to change their courses.

The Thanksgiving dinner bill in

usual amount of charitable work of

amount to a little larger sum than
otherwise. 1t is safe to say that

The parcels post will not be used

eggs or other produce likely TO IN
jure the person of the carrier or the

cording to Assistant Postmaster Ed
gar A. Rider. Mr.. Rider says the

for a great deal of misunderstanding

Cartoonists have pictured the car

kind, immense and weighty articles
such as stoves. bedsteads, cans OF
milk and other bulky articles. Mr.
Rider states that the limit of weight
will be / pounds and the combined
length and girth must not exceed ~
