WRECK OF SCHOONER JOHN
SHAY, APRIL II, 1889

A great loss of life was that of
the entire crew of the schooner
John Shay, which was wrecked on
the North Carolina coast in the
vicinity of the Cape Hatteras Sta
ton (Sixth District) April II,
1889. The vessel, valued at $4,000,
hailed from Port jefferson, New
York, and was bound from Hast
ings, in that state to Washington,
District of Columbia, with cargo
of stone and crew of six men all
told. 1t will be seen from the mar
rative that the fatal results could
not, by any effort of the Life
Saving Service, have been averted.
The vessel was discovered by
the keeper of the Big Kinnakeet
Station at about noon of the date
mentioned. She was a short dis
lance offshore, coming straight
for the beach, flying signal Of
distress. A strong wind had been
blowing from the eastward almost
continuously for several days and
had made up tremendous sea.
Throughout this period the wealth
er had been thick, with occasional
showers and during the forenoon
of the day in question strict pa
troll had been maintained north and
south of the station. AS soon as
the schooner was sighted the life
savers took it for granted that she
was about to be beached and active
preparations were made to start at
once for the scene with the breech-

es buoy apparatus.
The adjacent stations were no.
titled by telephone of the situation.
Hardly had this been done when
the vessel was seen to anchor,
about three quarters of mile off;
she swung broadside to and at in
tervals the sea broke completely
over her. The fury of the inrush-
ing breakers, which formed an i'm
passable wall of surf, precluded
the use of a boat. In little while
a two flag international Code sig
nal was hoisted on the vessel, but
its meaning could not be made out
from the shore. Nevertheless, the
keeper endeavored to open COM
munication, but, for time, inef-
fectually, doubtless because the
signals could not be distinguished
by those on board. At last the
weather lighted up somewhat and
signal asking for tug was read
by the station men and Immediate
ly answered. Word was at once
telephoned to the Signal Service
operator at Cape Hatteras, but a
reply soon came back that the
telegraph wires were down beyond
that point and a telegram could
not be forwarded.
The keeper, after signaling the
master of the vessel to this effect,
telephoned to the next station
north with instructions to the life
saving men to transmit the mes
sage quickly as possible along the
coast over the Service telephone
wires, in the hope that it might
possibly get to Norfolk. Nothing
