"all quiet" At daybreak on the morn
ing OF January II the schooner Carroll
A. Deerlng, a four-masted vessel of the
modern type, was seen stranded on the
northwest corner of the shoals. The
lifesavers made an effort to reach the
craft. but high seas drove them back.
The Coast Guard cutter Manning went
to the vessels assistance, and signaled
repeatedly but got no answer. Not
even distress signal was flying on the
schooner.
On the morning of January 1s coast
guards succeeded in getting on board
the Deering. They found no signs of
life, other than a gray cat. The ves-
sci was in excellent condition. Wreck
ing tugs endeavored to foat the
schooner, but without success The
seas drove the ship higher and higher
toward the beach. The vessel had
struck on quicksand shoal and she
began to sink rapidly. When wreck
ing crews boarded the ship she had
sunk nine feet in water and quicksand
and her seams were opening.
About a month ago high seas
snatched off the stern of the ship and
i foated out to sea. The rest of the
ship has disappeared in the quicksand.
