occurred June 1, 1889, about a
quarter of a mile from the Creed's
Hill Station, (Sixth District),
coast of North Carolina, during
the inactive season when the reg
ular life-savers were off duty.
This was near Cape Hatteras. One
life was lost.
The schooner Mary S. Bradshaw,
of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
sailed from Charleston, South
Carolina, May 18th bound for her
home port. She had a crew of
seven men and a cargo of phos-
plate rock. In a southeast gale
which she encountered, her sails
were blown away and she began

therefore brought to anchor; this

nine miles off, determined, in view
of the critical situation of the
schooner, to attempt to gain the
land in his small boat. The crew
accordingly abandoned the vessel
and pulled for the shore. When
they reached the outer bar the
