SCHOONER EMPRESS WRECKED
Aged Craft Takes Ground at Cape
Elizabeth, Tuesday Morning.

Cape Elizabeth, Me-. Jan. 9.-The b.
year-old two-masted schooner Empress,
Capt. Arey of Rockland, Me. bound
light from Boston for her home port, was
wrecked. early today. on sand bar just
outside Richmond's Island breakwater, at
the extreme end of Cape Elizabeth The
schooner went onto the bar at half tide
and when the tide reeeded was left high
and dry.
The crew of five men remained on the
stranded craft without being in any spe-
cial danger until low tide, when they
walked ashore. 1t was the belief that the
schooner never will float again, owing TO
her age and small value.
The Empress came out of Portsmouth,
yesterday. She was becalmed and snow
shut down on her. The wind came out
of the southeast and Capt. Arey decided
to make In for an anchorage. The first
thing he made was the bar. The Cape
Elizabeth live-saving station crew was
called out, but their assistance was not
needed.
The Empress was built at Prospect,
Me-, in 1856 and registers 120 gross ton
mage and "a feet length.
