therefore abandoned their work
and returned inside the inlet.
1t may be noted that these vic
tins were the father and brother
of *'Capt." Spencer d. Murphy,
well known deaf and dumb sea-
man now living at Wanchese.
Notwithstanding this fact, of
which Captain Murphy could hard
ly have been unaware, since it
was well known as far distant as
the life-saving station two miles
away, he put in order the boat of
which he had charge and soon
sailed out of the inlet, shaping his
course to the northward. There
was no person on the boat save
Captain Murphy and his son, both
of whom were expert in the man.
agement of fishing craft, the cap
tain himself being a man of 60
years and of long experience in the
business of off-shore fishing. To
these facts is ascribed the bold
ness, not to say folly, of their con-
duct in proceeding to sea after
other competent men who had al
ready tested the conditions
deemed it prudent to return to
harbor.
By MONDAY rain was falling, the
wind strong, and the surf tum-
bling heavily on the beach, but
there was nothing to show that
Captain Murphy had yet made up
his mind that the situation had
assumed a dangerous aspect.
There were no sings of his re-
turn, and he was still presumably
busy with his net to the north
ward, in which direction he was
last seen.
The boat and cargo valued at
$4,000 were saved.
Along toward 8 o'clock, how
ever, spritsail boat was discov-
cred making for the shore, and
Keeper M. w. Etheridge of the
Oregon Inlet Life-Saving Station,
who knew the boat to be in charge
of Captain Murphy land therefore
bound for the inlet took his ma
rine glasses and assembled the sta
ton lookout to keep himself in
formed of the progress of the
boat, and to be ready for action if
mishap should overtake her. When
she was still nearly a mile off
shore she was observed to be lay
ing her course directly homeward,
and as the sea was constantly
growing heavier and there was a
strong flood tide, causing the
surf to break with much force on
the outer bar, the keepers anxious
hope that she might pass the per-
ilous line in safety gave to way
despair the instant he saw her en-
ter the breakers. At almost the
first contact with them, the little
craft fell off suddenly, and then,
as a great wave struck her on the
starboard quarter, fully preached,
rolled over, and remained upside
down, with one man visible on the
upturned bottom.
A boat belonging to one of the
