BUOY LIGHT OUT,
CAUSE OF WRECK
Failure of Safety Device Proves
Lure to British Liner
Cobequid.

ST. JOHN, N. B., Jan. 16.-The
light on the buoy that marks Trinity
Rock. where the Royal mail steam
packet liner Cobequid was wrecked,
was out, said her commander, Cap
tain John Hawson, who arrived here
last night on the government steamer
Lansdowne. He was the last man to
leave his ship.
The fact that this important mark
was missing was borne out by the
Canadian marine department officers
here. G. II. Flood. agent of the de-
partment, says that he received word
late on January that the light was
out. An announcement of it was
made in the newspapers and the ship
ping federation at Montreal notified.
A new buoy was placed on the
Lansdowne last Saturday to be taken
to the ledge, but owing to the sick
ness of one of the crew and changes
among the officers. she was without
her proper complement and unable to
proceed to sea. She was ready to sail
on Tuesday, the day the Cobequid
struck
In telling of the disaster. Captain
Hawson said: eff anyone is to
blame. I am the man. 1 was on the
bridge at the time.
With the light buoy out of commits
sion on Trinity Rock, Captain Haw-
son had no warning of danger The
lodges rise abruptly out of deep wa
ter. Soundings were taken every half
hour and the last one showed deep
water. The Cobequid, feeling her
way cautiously, struck fairly easy
and at nearly low tide. As the tide
rose the holds flooded, making it
necessary to draw the fires, putting
the dynamo out of commission.
The first day when all the ships
company was crowded into the cap
tain's cabin and the ladies' cabin adj
joining the captain described as
lawful" the second mot so bad" and
last night as quite all right"
The fury of the sea, which threat
ened to sweep away the cabin at any
moment on the first day, proved the
salvation of probably all the COM
pany. One of the ships boats was
torn from its davits and carried
against the cabin door, where it
jammed and froze solidly into posi-
ton, thus forming a .breakwater for
the last shelter of all On board.
Captain Hawson spoke highly of
Captain McKinnon, of the Westport;
Captain Burns, of the Lansdowne,
and the master of the steamer John
L. Cam, which took off all the Cobe-
guilds company.
ST. JOHN, N. B.. Jan. 1.-THE
