WRECK OF THE SCHOONER
CHARLES C. LISTER, DEC. 1888

While returning from his south
ern beat at 5 o'clock in the morn
ing Of December %, 1888, the pa
troll at the Oregon Inlet Station
(Sixth DISTRICT, coast of North
Carolina, discovered a schooner
that had just stranded about a
mile and a half southeast of the
station. After making signals to
inform the sailors that help would
at once be summoned he hurried
back with the alarm. In the mean
time, however, the vessel had been
seen by the surfmen at the sta
.tion. A cold, northerly gale pre-
vailing at the time raised very
rough sea and the surfmen accord
|ingly took both the surfboat and
the beach apparatus upon the wag-
on and started for the scene with
out delay.
Arriving shortly abreast of the
vessel, which they found to be a.

CHILD LABOR LAW
AFFECTS FARMER

The Federal Child Labor Laws
prohibit employment of children
under 16 years Of age in agricuI-
ture during the hours school is in
session, if the products grown on
the farm are to be shipped in in
terstate commerce.
This is pointed out by DIR. C. B.
Ratchford, in charge of farm
management and marketing, State
College Extension Service, who
urges all farmers to become ia
miliar with provisions of these
laws.
A farmer, says DIR. Ratchford,
may use his own children, but he
is violating the law if he hires
children of his neighbors or others,
including the children of migra-
tory workers, during the hours
school is in session in the district
where the children are living.
The specialist adds that a child
under 16 years of age may work
on a school day, before or after
the hours school is in session, pro-
vided the hours worked do not ex-
coed three hours per day or total
more than 10 hours per week.
Work performed before or after
school hours must be between z a.
m. and D. m.
Further information may be OBJ
tanned from Forrest H. Shuford,
Commissioner of Labor, Raleigh.

bout one hundred and fifty yards
from the shore, they soon had. a
line over her, the first shot from
the Lyle gun proving effective.
Soon after the whip and hawser
were sent off, the keeper and the
crew of the Pea Island Station
having seen the ship, at once set
out for the vessel, reached the
place and at once gave their assis-
lance. Six trips of the breeches-
buoy were made without mishap,
but as it was going off for the Cap
tain, who alone remained on board,
the schooner swung around, slack
ing and fowling the gear so that
it became impossible to continue
its use.
Meanwhile, the keepers and men
from the neighboring stations,
Bodie Island and New Inlet, arriv-
ed and joined the others in the
work. The tide having fallen some
what it was proposed to haul off
the surfboat by means of the haw-
ser, the shore end of which was
led down the beach as much as
! possible, in order to gain some
thing of a lee. This project, not
withstanding the surf and heavy
storm and one or two failures in
the struggle to get out away from
the beach through the breakers,
was at length accomplished, and
the captain was thus brought
ashore.
The schooner was the Charles C.
Lister, Jr., of Wilmington, Della
ware, from Bay River, North Caro-
lima, bound for Philadelphia, Penn
sylvania, with cargo of lumber
valued at $4,000; the vessel being
valued at $4,000, all of which was
eventually saved. Her crew num-
bered six, and there was one pass
enger, a lady. She was wrapped
warmly in blankets and conveyed
to the Oregon Inlet Station, all be-
ing wet and thoroughly chilled,
were provided upon reaching the
house, with clothing from the gift
of the Women's National Relief
Association until their own could
be dried.
On subsequent days the crew of
the Oregon Inlet and Pea Island
stations worked on the stranded
craft, saving her stores, sails and
other articles; also a portion of the
lumber which constituted her car
go. She was floated by a wrecking
company some ten days after the
accident, but was quite badly dam
aged and the loss of the cargo
amounted to about half it's value.
One of the rescued remained nine
days at the station. The others
stayed only five days, at the end
of which time they proceeded to
their homes, one of the surfmen
taking them to the steamboat land
ing. The following letter, with
reference to this rescue was re-
ceived by the General Superinten-
dent of the Service:
