' The steam propeller Pottsville, hail-
ing from New York, was wrecked and
burned off the Norwelk Islands, Sat-
urday, and will he a total loss.
Th .Pottsvllle was coming from
Bridgeport. having in tow two light
barges of about 280 tone each—the S.
E. Showdy and the Daley. The Daisy
was to be left at Wilson’s Point to re-
ceive a cargo of stone from H. B. At-
wood's quarry up the Danbury and
Norwaik Railroad. -
it was about 8 o'clock, and full high
tide when the propeller and her tow
neared Shefdeid Island light. The cap-
tain thought he had ample water to go
across the reef. but miscalculeted, and
the Pottsvilie, going at full speed,
struck'heavily on the ledge of rocks
on the southwest end 0. the island.
which is marked by the spindle. A
big hole was stove in her bottom and
lnstpntly the water began to pour in.
To add to the horror of her crew, be-
fore anything could be done, live_ coals
from the furnace scattered themselves m
all over the engine room and set fire
to the boat. With the burning of the
Nutmeg State. of Bridgeport, in the
Sound, the previous morning, and with
the resultant loss of life. of which they
had just been reading. fresh in their
minds. the crew wee horror stricken.
They quickly regained their compos-
ure, however, and endeavored to save
the boat. Several sharp blasts of dis-
tress were ,blown on the whistle. but
there was no response.- So rapidly did
the flames envelop the boat that her
captain and crew soon found it meant
death to remain on her, and they
made their escape in the small boats
belonging to the barges.
At the same time the propeller
struck the barge Daisy ran on the
rocks, and her timbers were strained
so that she began leaking badly. The
crew sought refuge on the barge Show-
dy. and remained there during the
night.
Captain Frank R. Stevens, of the
steamer Kate C. Stevens, of Rowayton,
heard the whistle and made an effort
to find his engineer to take the steam-
er out to the burning vessel’s assis-
tance, but the engineer could not be
found. Later. at about 9 o'clock, in
boat, supposed to be the propeller Vul-
can, of the Norwalk and New York
Steamboat Company’s line, passed by.
headed toward Norwalk. but did not
stay. as Captain Frederick L. Byxbee
evidently thought the fire was under
such headway that he could be of no
service.
About this time the captain of the
Pottsvllle, Morris Ryan, and one of the
crew. got into a small boat and rowed
to South Norwslk. They went to the
residence of Captain William H. Ver-
ity, and engaged him to go down yes-
terday morning in the tug Addie V.. to
tow the barges in to Wilson's Point.
The men were engaged all night in
pumping out the barge Daisy and when
Captain Verity arrived at o o'clock yes-
terday morning the two feet of water
in her hold was considerably lowered,
The boat was pulled off ther ocks. and
with her companion, the Showdy, was
towed to Wilson's Point where they ‘2
remained all day. it was necessary to
keep at work on the Daisy at frequent
intervals to keep her afloat.
Yesterday morning Captain Ryan,
with the first mate, William Sullivan,
came to South Norwalk. and by tele-
phone, notifled the owner of the loss of
the boat and the safety of the barges
and crews. He was informed that an«
other tug would be sent to Wilson’s
Point after them.
The Pottsville was owned by the
James Mchllinms Blue Line Towin
and Transportation Company. of No.
Broadway, New York. and Jersey City.
She was a large boat and comparative-
ly new. and very frequently was to
Earth Norwelk with tows.
The crew of the Pottsville consisted
of nine men. Captain Ryan. Mate Sul-
livan. Chief Engineer William Wiggins.
Second Engineer Phillip S. Hamilton.
- a firemen, steward. and three deck
hands. All escaped safely and without
sustaining any injury. They lost about
all their personal elects, except the

Saturday afternoon was a notable at.
fair. There were two pianists of die-
tlnction. Miss M. Adah Perry. of Dan-

ter acting as accompanist: two vio-
iinlete df renown, .l. A. Hopson and c.

ligato for Miss Mary Allen. the charm- '
ing contrelto soloist of Dan ry, and
a teacher of dramatic esp ion. Miss
Louiu Davis, of Danbury. The and-
ience was moss responsive. encoring
each number. and the chairman of the '
afternoon, Mrs. C. S. St. John, happy in
her conduct of the whole. in her cios-
ing word Mrs. St. John paid a graceful
compliment'to the artists who had so
well earned the applause given them.
and ' to the president of the club,
through whose efforts the musicals had
been organised.
A large number of house were con-
tributed for the Traveling Library.
The club was glad to have as guests a
number of out-of-town clubwomen. and
during the serving of refreshments at
the close of the programme there was
opportunity ‘for talk as to club matter
and methods. Miss Schefher, of Phil-
adelphla, was introduced by Mrs. S. R.
Weed. and Mrs. E. F. Ayres, president
of the newly formed clue of New Ca-
naan, and her daughter-in-lawv'werc
present.
in a short notice it is impossible to
do full Justice to the excellence of the
artists. Each should have a special,
discriminating word of praise, as each
certainly excelled in his own depart-
ment. Miss Allen has a contrelto of
pure tone and much sympathy, and her
stage manner is most winning. Miss
Perry's technique and touch make it a
delight to hear her. Miss Davis is
charming in every way, her beauty.
grace and youth being most appealing.
Mr. Hopson is so fine a violinist that
Norwalk is especially proud of him and
wishes much that he might oftener
play here. We would also welcome
heartily the opportunity to hear Mr.
Nowlen again, as his obligato to the
exquisite song Happy Days, showed
such power as to make one long for
ore.
Mr. Manvllle is an almost ideal ac-
companlet.

New York, October lG—Another mis-
ty morning greeted the early risers
about Greater New York today and put
all of the uncertainties of the past two
weeks of attempted yachting into the
situation once more. There was wind
to encoarage sailors and fog to die-
hearten them. .
The Associated Press observers along
the New Jersey and Long island coasts
reported thick weather, with observa-
tion running from an eighth of a mile
to three miles, and wind blowing two
knots to seven and increasing at sever-
al points. Sandy Hook announced at
8 o'clock that the wind there was eas-
terly, about two knots an hour, with a
heavy mist along the coast. The Col-
umbia and the Shamrock could just be
seen at their anchorage.

starting line of the international yacht
were in’the upper bay and in the city.

ted the observation materially. it was
still clear enough to see three miles
‘iili'l there was a breeze blowing that
promised to clear away the outlying
sentinel of grey darkness. There was
not a glimmer of sunshine. however.
and thc sky was of dull, lcaden hue,
while a misty fine drizzle made it un-
comfortable for spectators. The dense-
ncss of the fog in the city and the nat-
‘Iral supposition that it would obtain
in like proportion at sea kept back the
pleasure crafts and the excursion boats.
A little later the observers near the
start caught a glimpse of the Columbia
voming down under her malnsail in
'ow. Following her cl’osely came the
shamrock. At 10 o'clock the breese

Held under by the Columbia, Hogarth's
only chance seemed to be to crowd his

in about three minutes the Shamrock
had the Columbia netcrn, but still to
