Little Island Station arrived. These
men had done good work at the
wreck of the schooner F. o. Dame,
in their own precinct, ten miles
away, on the night of the 23rd and
morning of the oath. The vessel
having stranded close in they had
saved the entire crew by means Of
the breeches-buoy. Three attempts
were made on this date (26th) to
reach the Simmons, but every time
the boat was driven back full of
water, the wind having changed to
the southeast and set in more
freely than before, with, if posi-
BILE, higher seas.
Two of the remaining men were
washed out of the rigging during
the day in plain view of the people
on the beach, and the day closed
with but one man left on the wreck.
The weather on the morning of the
9th was no more favorable, the
rain falling in torrents, with a con-
tinuance of the southeasterly gale.
Towards evening however, the
storm had nearly spent ITSELF, and
there was promise of a shift of
wind to the westward. This was
what the life-savers had been hop
ing for and it gave them encour-
agement, though there must nee
essarily be one more night of hor-
ror for the sufferer in the rigging
before the sea could run down suf-
ficiently for him to be reached. If
he could hold on a few hours long
'er he would be saved.
Keeper COrbel Goes to Sea
BY midnight the wind had can't
ed to the southwest and subsidized
to a moderate breeze. The sea also
fell rapidly, so that at 5 o'clock
in the morning of the 18th, before
daylight, the surfboard was again
moved down to the edge of the
water in readiness for a launch.
Life belts were then strapped on
by the picked crew of oarsmen
from the Wash Woods and False
Cape crews, including Keeper
O'Neal of the last-named station
and with the veteran keeper, Mala-
chi Corbel, at the steering oar, a
bold and successful dash was made
through the heavy line of breakers
on the bar. Once through these,
the boat was not long in reaching
the sunken wreck, which, in the
darkness, had to be approached
with some caution to avoid entan-
clement in the cordage hanging
from the spars. To the great relief
of every man in the boat faint
response came to the keepers hail,
and presently there crept out into
view the form of the sole survivor
of the dreadful tragedy and Robert
Lee Garnet was saved.
He has been ensconced within
the sheltering folds of the mizzen
gafftopsail, and this protection

with the aid of a splendid physi-
que, had enabled him to Withstand
the great hardships to which he
had been exposed He had been
without food of any kind for over
four days, his only sustenance hav-
ing been rainwater caught in the
sail and his survival was simply
marvellous. Once in the boat no
time was lost in transferring him
to the shore, where restoratives
from the medicine chest were
quickly administered, and he was
then conducted to the station, COM
fortably clad in warm garments
from the supply box of the Wom-
ems National Relief Association,
and otherwise cared for. The mans
wonderful powers of endurance and
his great recuperative energy may
be Illustrated by statement of the
fact that in two days from the
time of his deliverance he was
ready to leave for Virginia Beach,
there to take the train for Norfolk
enroute to Baltimore, his home.
Five of the bodies of the drowned
seamen were subsequently recov-
cred at various points along the
shore, that of the captain being
found on November 10Th, nearly
four weeks after death. All were
given decent burial, the body of
Capt. Grace being afterward claim
ed and removed by relatives.
In concluding his melancholy
narrative the conviction is express
ed that the life-saving crews are
free from blame. This is but sim
pie justice to save the competent
men. In their efforts to go off to
the vessel in their boat they did
all that was within their power.
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1951-11-02

The conditions placed her practi-
cally beyond reach, and the inves-
tigation shows very conclusively
that there never was time, from
the moment of the discovery of the
situation of the sailors in the reg
ging on the morning of the oath
until the early hours of the morn
ing of the 28th, when any type of
boat could have put off from the
beach through the breakers, there
being absolutely no lee or shelter
to favor such an undertaking, as is
usually found when vessel
grounds on the bar near shore.
1t was also shown beyond doubt
that no tug or other available
craft under steam, nor boat pro-
PEELED by oars, could have render
ed succor from seward during that
period. This surely was an occas-
ion when human agency was pow
erless to save. 1t may be added
that while the efforts of the surf
men in this and the two following
cases were not crowned with the
success which has been the distin-
gushing characteristic Of the life
saving organiza lion, TIE crews
achieved noble results at other
wrecks on the same coast during
the same storm, where the odds
were not so overwhelmingly
against them.

into the, water about halfway. 1t
was thus demonstrated that, ow-
ing to the great distance, the beach
apparatus was practically useless,
the office detailed to investigate
the affair reporting very emphati-
cally that the schooner was at
least one thousand yards off. The
purpose, of the keeper in firing the
gun was more to reassure and en-
courage the poor fellows than from
any hope of reaching them with the
line. At the same time the surf
was so high and dangerous that no
human power could have forced a
boat through it. The hands of the
beachmen were practically tied.
They could do nothing but watch
and wait for the storm to abate
and the sea to run down, and the
outlook for this was not promising.
Here, on the one hand, was sunk
en- vessel with her crew in the rig
ing, looking imploringly to the
shore for help, and, on the other,
band of sturdy men skilled in
the handling of boats in the surf
and equipped with the most APP
proved appliances for the saving
Of human life from the perils of
the sea, but withal powerless to
save. Yet this was the exact stu
alton.
At noon the party on the beach
was reinformed by the arrival of
the False Cape crew from the
north. They would doubtless have
come earlier, for they had seen
the vessels spars soon after day
break, but supposed she was at
anchor, she appeared so far out. But
their coming did no good, since the
storm continued with undated vio-
lence all day, and absolutely moth
ing could be done. With the ap-
proach of darkness driftwood fires
were lighted and kept blazing all
night to encourage the helpless
sailors on the wreck.
On the following day, (25th) at
8 o'clock, the tide being low, an
effort was made with picked crew
to launch the boat, but although
the gale had slackened little, the
surf was still tremendously high
and the attemtp failed. The agony
Of suspense the poor fellows suf-
fered must have been terrible, as

the dripping shrouds, watching for
the relief which could not reach

rigging and disappeared. This left
but three remaining alive. AS a
last resort a message had been
forwarded by way of Cape Henry
for the dispatch of a tug or other

enable the boat to go off.

Navy game history-by John Mi
chael Raster, plebe right halfback
from Toledo, Ohio. on an inter-
cepted pass.
At no time was it much of a
contest here in Philadelphia's 5
Municipal Stadium. The first time
the midshipmen got the ball they
scored and, try as it might, Army
lacked the equipment ito get back
into the game. The cadets were
too small and too inexperienced to
cope with Navy, despite the fact
that into this Sind battle between
the two teams, the Blue and Gold
carried a record of only one tri-
lumph and a tie in eight efforts
this season.
Navy Wins as 1t PleaSes.
Army's record wasn't outstand-
ing, either, with the Cadets hav-
ing only two wins in eight games.
and probably never in the past
have the two rivals met with
less to recommend them.
| But today Navy put together
four good quarters of football
and won as it pleased, narrowing
the all-time count to 81 victories
as against q defeats by Army
and four ties.
| Navy. winning for the second
straight year-once as a decided
Iunderdog. and this afternoon as
an 8-point favorite-got the most
mileage out of a 175-pound half
back named Vic Vines, from Gar
Irettsville, Ohio.
| Never prominent figure in
the past, Vines ran the ball for
a total of LOG yards-only 10 less
than the entire Army offense was
able to achieve. Navy ran for
257 yards and practically matched
Army at passing-76 yards to II.
Only in the third quarter was
Navy unable to score but by that
time the result was foregone
conclusion.
/ Aside from Vine there was no
offensive standout on the field.
Navy scored half a dozen touch
downs and no one player scored
more than one. Jack Perkins,
Francis Brady, Raster. Vine,
Dean, Smith and Dave Fischer
crossed the Army goal for six
points apiece and Ned Snyder
matched them by successfully
converting all of the extra points.
Even Kickoff Bad for Army.
Army had a horrible day from
the opening kickoff, which the
Army coach. Red Blaik, later dis
closed was intended to be an
on-side kick. Center Elwin Shain
booted the ball only few yards
and Navy's Joe Zebrowski wound
up with it on Army's 49-yard line.
That was all the break the mid
shipmen needed to get on the
scoreboard. With Vine and Fred
Franco leading a solid ground at
tack, Navy moved down to the
lone-foot line, whereupon Coach
Eddie Erdelatz replaced Franco
with Jack Perkins of Layton,
Utah. Perkins plunged across and
