The coastland times with which is combined the pilot and herald of Belhaven and Swan Quarter., 1962-07-27

loud cheer was sent up by all
the people who had by this time
assembled. Every man was saw
ed whom the life saving crews
could by any possibility have
rescued under the most unfor-
tunage circumstances following
the launching of the boats, and
if all had remained patiently on
board not one would have been
lost.
Keeper Fora Burrus, and his
crew, of the Durants Life Saving
Station, located next to Ocra-
coke on the north, were request
ed by telephone to join Keeper
Howard's crew after the latter
had begun operations to set up
the beach apparatus. They start
ed at once, but were obliged to
use the station supply boat on
account of rough sea, and to go
on the inside of the beach by
way of Pamlico Sound, which
consumed about two hours. They
made, however, the best possible
time arriving just as the shot
line was fired over the vessel,
and performed their share of the
work.
A number of citizens of the
neighborhood voluntarily rend-
cred extremely valuable assist
ance to the life-saving crews,
and Headquarters thankfully
acknowledged their praise
worthy conduct, which, it is but
simple justice to add, was
thoroughly characteristic of the
human and courageous people
who inhabit this coast. Unfor-
tunately the names of all of
them could not be obtained, but
among the number was I. M.
Stowe and C. F. Austin, of Hat
teras Village.
Surfmen Highly Praised.
All the testimony taken by the
investigating officer demon
strates the entire efficiency of
the life-saving crews, and the
nine survivors of the wreck ad-
dressed to Keeper Howard a let
ter written by Captain Baines
and signed by him with the rest
which contains the following
paragraphs:
The six men met with the
most hospitable treatment from
the life-saving station and other
residents. The rescue was eff
fected under very trying circum-
stances, and would have per-
haps been almost beyond the
means at Capt. Howard's dis
posal had they not had valuable
assistance from Durant's Station
and several of the good people
from thereabouts, whose strong
arms made the use of the meth
DDS at his disposal a grand
success.
That such lamentable loss of
life occurred is not in any
way to be attributed to the want
The coastland times with which is combined the pilot and herald of Belhaven and Swan Quarter., 1962-07-27

says, "a red flash was seen in
the north which was taken to be
from a source whence assistance
might come" And so in fact it
was being the red Coston signal
of the life-saving patrol.
A Fatal Mistake.
Believing his ship to be "a
mong the Diamond Shoals, the
master feared she might work
off into one of the numerous
deep holes or channels and
founder there, and besides he
was seriously worried by the
fact that the heavy seas on the
starboard side broke away the
three starboard boats, while the
ship was constantly heeling over
to the starboard, making the
destruction of the boats on the
port side likely to take place at
any moment. He therefore held
a conultation with the chief
officer, which resulted in a de-
termination to launch the port
boats. Here was where the fatal
mistakes occurred. Signal in
dicating that assistance would be
afforded from the shore had al
ready been seen and correctly
interpreted. AS subsequent
events proved, to a demonstra-
ton, if all had simply stood by
the ship every soul would have
been rescued by the life-saving
crews. Nevertheless, it must be
remembered that Captain Baines
supposed his vessel to be
stranded on the Diamond Shoals,
a place of extreme danger, so
far from shore that he might
we'll have doubted the ability of
any boat to reach her, and of
course miles beyond the range
of any life-saving gun or rocket.
Having in view those facts, 1t
may not be a matter of great
surprise that he s h o u ! d
deem it the part of wisdom to
save his two remaining boats
and man them alongside until
the dawn of day should make it
possible to determine his true
position and the proper course
of action then to be taken.
Put Boats Over.
Accordingly the pinnace was
first got out and manned by
eleven men, including the chief
and second mates, who were
placed in charge with instruc
tions to "get away clear" and
then lie by until daylight. AS
the pinnance cleared the ship the
life-boat was successfully put
over and manned by fifteen
men. Twenty-six persons were
now in the boats while there still
remained on the ship four others
who were also to go in the life
boat. These were Captain
Baines, Third Officer Reed,
Chief Engineer Warren, and
Carpenter Peltonen. Fortunately
for them the life-boat got away
before they could embark in it.

going on, and owing to the
great distance, the projectiles
were falling short, three sailors
were dragged from the surf ap-
parently dead, but nevertheless
some of the surfmen devoted
themselves to every effort to
effect their restoration, al
though without avail. Not until
well-night II o'clock was it pos
sible to put a line over the
steamer. By that hour she had
worked within 400 or 500 yards
of the beach, and a projectile
carrying a No. four shot was
finally landed on board. To this
was attached a No. seven and to
that a No. nine line (for fear
that the smaller one might give
way to the intense strain of
dragging the tailblock and whip
through the powerful longshore
current) and when the No. nine
was safe on board, the whip
line was attached to it and sent
out. The hawser followed, and
the actual rescue began, but
tremendous roll of the ship,
which lay broadside to, threat
ened to part the hawser every
time she rolled offshore, and the
most critical attention at the re-
leiving tackle was necessary to
prevent that disaster. Besides
all this, the vessel was gradually
edging closer in and consequent
ly the gear frequently held to
be reset. For these reasons the
operations We're necessarily SO
extremely difficult that their
completion without mishap af-
fords the best evidence that they
were judiciously and skillfully
conducted. Captain Baines was
the last to leave the ship and

Gallant Deeds Of By-Gone
Years in The Walter
Raieisa Coasfland.
WRECK OF THE BRITISH
STEAMSHIP ARIOSTO, 1899.

The most calamitous, because
entirely needles loss of life dur
ing the entire year, or indeed
for many recent years in the
history of the Service, occurred
on December "a, 1899, at the
wreck of the British Steamship
Ariosto on the coast of North
Carolina about two miles to the
southwark of the Ocracoke Life
Saving Station. Of 80 persons on
board the vessel, 21 perished,
while there was in the conditions
not the slightest necessity that
a single one should have been
lost.
The Ariosto was schooner
rugged steel vessel of 2,265 tons,
laden with a valuable cargo of
wheat, cotton, lumber, and cot
ton-seed meal, carrying 80 men,
including officers, and COM
manded by Captain R. R. Baines.
When lost she was bound from
Galveston, Texas, to Hamburg,
Germany, via Norfolk, Va, the
object of the call to Norfolk be-
ing to refill the coal bunkers.
During the evening of Satur-
day, December %, the weather
was clear overhead, but hazy a.
round the horizon, and smart
wind was blowing from the
southwest, driving before it a
very rough sea. At midnight the
weather was thick all around,
and heavy showers of rain pass
ed over from time to time, while
the sea was constantly making.
About three forty-five o'clock
(Sunday morning) Captain
Baines, who was then lying
down in the chart room heard
the telegraph bell ring, and in
stantly sprang up to inquire the
reason, when he was met at his
door by the second mate, who
had come up to request his pres
ence on deck. Proceeding at
once to the bridge, the captain
saw that his ship was entirely
surrounded by "white water".
He says he did not know pre-
cisely what part of the coast he
was on, but that since he could
see no land or light he had an
idea that he had struck the
Diamond Shoals, off Cape Hat
teras. AS a matter of fact, he
was some Is miles to the South
west. The engines were working
hard astern, but were not able to
stop the headway of the vessel,
which took the bottom, and re-
manned, as the master says,
dumping and humping in such
a manner that it seemed pro-
bable her masts would come
down." All hands were at once
on deck, and the rocket signals
of distress were fired the first
having been sent up about three
fifty o'clock, as he thinks.
"While still firing" the captain

the wreck likewise returned to
the station finding his comrades
already moving.
Relief Work Difficult.
The coast runs about north
east and southwest, and the
steamer lay about two miles
southwest of the station. An ac-
cident to one of the shafts of the
beach-apparatus cart caused
considerable delay soon after the
crew started, but as it was yet
very dark and as subsequent
events clearly showed, this fact
in no way adversely affected the
operations. The tide making
over the beach was especially
deep at a point where the
hurricane of August 1918 had
cut an inlet, and the keeper was
obliged to secure the aid of five
citizens to help his crew get the
gear to the wreck, but notwith-
standing all the difficlties, the
lifesavers were on the scene be-
tween five and five-thirty o.
clock. Hardly had they arrived
when they made out in the dark
ness which still prevailed a
shadowy figure staggering a.
long the beach, who proved to
be Seaman Elsing, above named
as having swum ashore unaided.
He seemed only half con-
scious, but was able to tell them
of the capsize of the boats and
to suggest that they might yet
find men in the surf. None could
be seen, however, and the savers
went quickly to work with prep
arations to set up the beach
apparatus.
On account of the surf runn-
ing over the beach there was
very serious difficulty in find
ing a place sufficiently high
and solid to bury the sand an
chor where it would hold and to
place the Lyle gun where it
would be out of the water. Both
had to be frequently moved
during the operations.
The first shot was fired about
five forty-five o'clock but the
steamer was at least 600 yards
distant, and the line failed to
reach her. 1t was therefore
hauled in, and with it came a
half-drowned man, who was lat
er found to be Boatswain Ander-
son. He was unconscious, but
was resusicated by the surfmen,
and subsequently told them that
the line fell across him as he had
sufficient consciousness to hitch
it around his arm, and was thus
drawn ashore-an almost miracu-
lous escape from death.
Sailors were Swimming.
About this time other persons
were dimly discernable in the
water making desperate efforts
to reach the beach. The life-sav-
ing men strenuously attempted
to reach them, going into water
up to their necks, but the surf
was so strong that their utmost
exertions resulted in saving only
one, Fireman Henroth, who was
insensible when taken from the
water, but happily not past re-
suscitation, which was finally
effected.
It was Immediately after this
rescue that Keeper Howard set
the signal for those on board the
ship to remain there, and then
began firing to throw a line a.
cross the vessel. While this was
