Move to Take Off
Captain and Rebel
Crew Ship Aground

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 14-tPp-Armed
coastguardsmen on the cutter Mo-
doc, which carries two five-inch
guns, tomorrow morning will remove
Captain w. A. Albert, master, and
the mutinous crew of the four mast
ed schooner Charles A. Dean, ashore
on Frying Pan Shoals off the North
Carolina coast, whether they want
to leave the ship or not.
These were the orders issued to-
night by division coastguard head
quarters here to the crew of the
cutter Modoc which left Wilmington
late today for the scene.
Coastguardsmen from the Oak Is
land station on the Norrh Carolina
coast found the crew of the sohoon-
err In a state of mutiny when they
came to her aid. They were not
permitted to board her.
Both Captain Albert, well-known
shipmaster of Boston, who was de-
scribed as facing the crew single
handed with a gun behind barri-
cade in the stern of the ship, and
members of the crew were said to
have ordered the coastguardsmenst to
keep away from the vessel The
crew also were reported by the
guardsn1en to have been armed, but
the cause of the disturbance on the
ship has not been ascertained.
Reports to division headquarters,
lacking confirmation, said a dement,
ed man was aboard the schooner in
irons.
Coastguard officials were of the
opinion that the schooner was driven
ashore because Captain Albert was
busy defending his life and was not
able to steer the vessel properly
during a strong easterly wind.
The schooner is about five miles
off shore and unless the crew makes
an effort to trim her" to ride the
strong gale blowing tonight she may
prove a total loss, the coastguard
officials believed.
