word by descending to the s:ar-
board quarterback to windward of
all wreckage that would fall. The
sailors did not hear him at first
owing to the confusion. Had they
done so, what followed might not
have resulted fatally to one of
their number. Shortly, the main
mast cracked and the sailors then
started down. They were not quick
enough, however, for the three
masts went over while two of the
men, Julgen and Helgesen, were
still aloft, and these two went
along overheard. Neither man was
apparently injured by the fall.
Helgesen succeeded in crawling up
on some wreckage hanging over
the side of the schooner and get
ting hold of the flyrail. Here he
held for while only to be swept
back and to disappear in the
threshing debris alongside. The
other sailor, Julgen, was more
fortunate. He managed to get
astride a spar in the water, where
he remained for fifteen or twenty
minutes, and then climbed back on
board with the help of a shot line
that had fallen near him.
After the masts went over, his
crew tried to launch the yawl boat,
first making the cook get out of
it. 1t filled, however, as soon as it
struck hte water, and turned over,
and a sea bore it away as pre-
viously stated. 1t was afterward
found down the beach, badly dam
aged as was also the schooner's
dinghy, which had been washed

from the top of the cabin soon
after the vessel fetched up. The
sea that took the yawl boat away
was the same one that carried off
the cook and broke Helgesen's hold
on the flyrail. The engineer says
in his testimony that he saw the
cook after he went overheard,
crawl upon the end of pile, hold
on for moment and then go
under as the timber rolled. The
bodies were not afterward recover
ed, and it was the general opinion
of those who witnessed the rescue
operations that they were ground
to pieces among the piles along
side the vessel.
When the masts came down
Keeper Harris sent Surfman Scar
borough to the station with men
for the surfboat, that they might
have it at hand ready for an at
tempt to get to the schooner in
case the breaches buoy should fail
him. Meantime, the extra whip line
had come, and he fired another
shot with A ounces of powder, lay
ing a No. 9 line where the first
one fell-just forward of the
stump of the spanker mast around
which the sailors were huddled.
The ships crew tried to haul off
the whip, in which effort they
failed, owing to the fact that the
shot line had fouled the wreckage.
Although this line could not be
used as intended, it at least served
the good purpose, as was already
shown, of helping Julgen get back
on the ship. Keeper Harris stated
that he tried to send this second
shot within reach of Julgen, so
that in case the men on the schoon-
er did not succeed in getting it,
he (Julgen) would be able to lay
hold of it, and the life-savers
could then haul him ashore. The
line doubtless saved the sailors

the keeper had considered possible.
Failing the second time in their
efforts to get the apparatus in
operation, the sailors returned to
the stump of the spanker mast,
around which they chung, some of
them lashing themselves fast.
Several of the life-savers who were
present on the beach testified that
while the sailors were in this posi-
ton the seas repeatedly buried
them out of sight. That they man.
aged to hold on was a matter of
astounding surprise to the veteran
surf fighters.
A third line-also a No. 9, pro-
jected by ounces of powder, and
sent across the schooner in the
same place that the two others
fell-changed the fortunes of the
ship-wrecked men. They had some

beach twisted the line so that it
would not run through the block
when they tried to haul off the
hawser. The twist extended the
entire, distance from the ship to
shore, and nothing could be done
from either end toward getting it
Strengthened out.
Seeing it would be impossible to
untangle the whip, Captain Harris
signaled to the sailors to cut the
tackle loose, but they failed to
understand what he wanted them
to do, and did nothing.
The keeper now sent two of his
men back to the station for an
other whip line, and while waiting
for it the life-savers carried the
shore end of the twisted line down
the beach so that it would be clear
of wreckage and staked it fast
that it might later be recovered.
When the sailors found that the
line would not work, all hands,
except the cook, who was still in
the yawl boat, went aloft, the cap
tain taking refuge on the spanker
gaff and the others in their for
mer position. By this time the
deck load had torn away the rig
ging to windward, so that the piles
on the side, aided by the rolling
of the schooner, were pushing over
to windward the three masts pre-
viously mentioned. This meant that
these masts would soon go by the
board. Perceiving the danger that
threatened, Captain Hunter from
his position on the spanker gaff,
called to his men to come down,
himself suiting the action to the

current, but they at last succeed
ed in fastening both whip and

securing the hawser some two
feet above the tail block. After

Raleigh Coasfland.
WRECK OF SCHOONER
CHARLES S. HIRSCH

The Charles S. Hirsch was a
four-master schooner of $40 tons
burden, owned by the Hirsch Lum-
Der Company of New York. She
left Brunswick, Ga. on the morn
ing of October 10, 1908, bound for
Baltimore, Md. with a cargo of
118 Georgia pine piling, consign-
ed to the Hodgkins Lumber Com
pany. She was wrecked near Paul
Gamiels Hills, 48 years ago.
On this trip she carried crew
of eight men, including the Cap
tain, as follows: Frank Wall
Hunter, Master, Charles o. Olson,
mate, Fred L. Hoffses, engineer;
Edward ]. Christensen, Albin
Julgen, Torres Gunderson, Ludwig
Helgesen, seamen, and the cook,
Helgesen and the cook lost their
lives in the disaster here described.
No one of the crew Intercepted
by the officer who investigated
the disaster could give the name
of the cook. All that could be
learned about the cook was that
he was an Englishman and that
he had shipped at Brunswick, the
port from which the schooner had
sailed. The Captain stated that his
name was on the ships papers
which were lost with the vessel.
The piling the schooner carried
consisted of sticks from 80 to 80
feet long and measuring from 10
to 20 inches through their largest
ends. They were slowed heads
and butts. The deck load of 116
timbers filled up all the space
amidships, being stacked we'll up
under the main and mizzen masts,
leaving free only the space for
ward occupied by the forecastle
and that aft taken up by the
cabin and quarterback. The piling
was securely dashed by wire and
chains.
Eight knots in "a hours
According to the testimony of
Captain Hunter, the schooner had
fair weather until October 20,
when she encountered northeast
gale, which lasted until the 22nd.
After that she had variable winds
and Gains, there being days when
she would not log more than eight
knots in the whole twenty-four
hours. There was a nasty sea all
this time, says the master, and
the conditions seemed to indicate
that storm was brewing. About
2:30 am. of October 20, when the
vessel was doubtless somewhere
off the Kill Devil Hills life-saving
station, she lay becalmed. The
Captain had not been able to take
an observation for thirty-eight
hours, and did not know more
than approximately where he was.
The crew had been taking sound
ings since 500 of the preceding
morning, and at the time stated,
2:30 am, the lead showed 16
fathoms. About 3:15 a light wind
sprang up from the northward,
which, within an hour, freshened
to 8 or knots. At this time the
schooner was heading north-north-
west in Is fathoms. The Captain
was on deck all the while assisting
in taking soundings. Asked if he
saw any lights at any time, he re-
piled that somewhere between
1900 and 2:30 am. of the 29th
he picked up two on the starboard
bow, which he at first took to be
shore lights, but looking at them
through his glasses he found they
were steamers.
At 400 the port, watch came on
deck to relieve the Captain, who
was keeping the starboard watch,
but the latter still remained on
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1957-01-11

For some time after 400 the YES
sci ran along in IL and Is fathoms.
When. she made 10 fathoms the
captain told the mate that they
would soon wear ship, meaning
that they would swing the schoon-
err clear around to port, making a
loop as it were, and head out sea-
ward on the port tack almost at
right angles to the direction in
which they were going. This man.
euver was necessary in order to
get out far enough to go again
on the starboard tack for Cape
Henry, inside of which the Cap
tain says he wanted to make
refuge.
Just before the necessary orders
were given for bringing the vessel
around, a sounding was taken
which showed II fathoms. The
captain states that he had then no
idea that he would go on the
beach. He simply thought that they
were getting as close in shore as
was prudent and that the time had
arrived to get off in order to come
up again on the starboard tack.
The necessity for wearing ship,
he explains, was the direction OF
the wind, which was blowing from
the northeast. In the opinion Of
some of the life-savers, if the
wind had been a point farther
eastward, it would not have been
necessary to wear the schooner
around, and she would undoubted-
" have reached without accident
/ the haven she had in view. 1t was
while executing the manuever
mentioned above that she got into
trouble.
When Captain Hunter found his
vessel in II fathoms, he took the
wheel and told the mate to slack
away the spanker topsail and
stand by. The slackening of this
sail, he stated, was to throw the
wind pressure more on the forward
sails, thereby helping to swing
| the schooner around more quickly.
While the mate was slackening the
sail, the captain rolled the wheel
hard up and fastened it with the
beckett. Telling of what next &C.
Cured. he says:
"The schooner paid off north
west, but seemed to hang, and as
/ did not want to lose too much
ground or strain my steering gear,
/ next called to the mate to slack
the spanker peak. AS she still did
not pay off, l then told told him
to lower the spanker away. l, at
the same time, ran to leeward and
let go the mizzen sheet. AS the
vessel still did not answer her
helm, l began to suspect that some
thing was wrong with her steer
ing gear, and was doing every
thing possible to bring her
around"
By this time the wind was fresh
ened up to 20 knots and it had
begun to drizzle making mist
over the water. Day was breaking,
however, and through the occa-
sional riffs in the scurrying fog,
the sailors could see to windward,
long lines of foam crested seas,
which warned them of their prox-
unity to the shore. UP to this
moment, it seems, the captain had
not been apprehensive that he was
dangerously near the beach, and
he had scarcely time to realize
what was in store for his vessel
before she fetched up in the break
ers. She struck about $50 yards
off shore, nose first, then swung
around port side to the beach,
headed northward.
The seas were running high
when she took bottom, and they
now broke over her decks and the
houses fore and aft, the spray fly
