LAST MATCH RESCUES
EIGHT SAILORS AT SEA:
FOODLESS TWO DAYS
Waterlogged Schooner Halls Final Gasoline Flash
Seen by Steamer West Canon Which Saves
Shipwrecked Men, Bringing Them Here

The steamship West Canon. loaded
with rubber from Java, docked at her
pier in Clifton. Staten Island, last
night, bringing with her Capt.
David A. Cole and seven men of
the crew of the American schooner
James A. Hall. picked up by the
West Canon $50 miles southeast of
Cape May, New Jersey. after they had
been two days without food or water,
lashed to the cabin hatch of their ves-
sell a rolling, water logged wreck that
had been sorely beaten and battered
by the storms.
During these two days Capt. Cole
and his men had abandoned all hope
that they would ever be picked up
alive. They had almost resigned them
selves to the prospect OF going down
with their ship, still lashed to the
hatch. But the rolling of the water
logged craft brought to the feet Of
Vne OF the men two gallon can of
gasoline, and Capt. Cole poured some
Of this into q battered old dishpan
and set it alight with the last dry
match that the eight men had in
their possession.
This was on last Friday night. The
gasoline made flare and an explosion
but the flame burned for only few
minutes and then died out. But it was
enough. The lookout on the West
Canon, picking her way along through
the darkness only few hundred yards
away from the hulk that once had been
the trim schooner Hall, saw the glare
and knew that something was wrong.
Rockets We're sent up to apprise Capt
The New York herald., 1922-01-16

Cole that his signal had been seen. and
few minutes later the desperate men
lashed to the hatch OF the schooner
and then the men of the West Canon
scrambled over the side Of the schooner
and set them free.
The James A. Hall left Charles
ton for Boston on january with a
cargo Of lumber and encountered heavy
weather, with high seas and gales. soon
after leaving the South Carolina port.
The gales increased in violence and
the schooner received such terrific
battering and beating that on the 10th
she sprung leak and her hold began
to fill with water. All hands went to
work at the pumps, but the storms
continued and the crew could make lit
tie headway because the high seas were
battering and rocking the ship. start
ing the planks and causing new leaks
with every roll.
The ship continued to sink slowly
until she became waterlogged, with no
part Of the superstructure but the
cabin remaining above water. 1t was
then that Capt. Cole ordered all hands
to lash themselves to the cabin hatch
because the wreck rolled and labored
so with the seas that it was impossible
to keep a footing on deck. They re-
mained in that position for two days
and nights, ,ashed to the hatch, except
on those brief intervals when one OF
the men risled his life to send up dis.
tress signals.
When the West Canon rescued
them the schooner was abandoned.
