 Coast Guard Cutters

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 1i,--After be- ing tossed about at sea during heavy gales and storms for two weeks, with her entire superstructure torn away and her rudder gone, the schooner Bluebird was brought Into port here today by the coast guard cutters Seneca and Modoc. Her master and crew of thirteen men were none the worse for their experience of having to man the pumps continuously and of being forced to subslst on limited rations.
 The Bluebird was badly battered in the storm of November 22, when gales ripped her sails and rudder away and left her without any means of propulsion or steering. she dirfted aimlessly for several days and her provisions grew short. On Thanksgiving Day the Bluebird was sighted by the steamship West Victoria, which offered to take off the crew, but they refused to aban- don the vessel, and its valuable car so of mahogany. and the steamship sent boatload of food aboard. Coast guard headquarters was notified by wireless of the schooners plight and cutters were sent to search for men.
 The schooner is almost filled with water, but her cargo for which the chew rSked their lives is undam- aged.
