Afternoon—body of One

Man floated from Cabin of the boat at Wilson's

Cove. lhis Morning

One of the worst shipping disasters
that Norwalk has had In many years,
occurred off this part during the severe
squall, late yesterday afternoon, The
accident was not reported until this
morning, and but few people knew any-
thing about it until the arrival of Cap-
tain Walter Miner in South Norwnlk.

Captain Miner is in command of the l
tug‘ Patience." owned by the 'llce l
Towing Company, of No. 17 Buttery
Place, New York city and was pro
ceodlng up the Sound, about 6 o ',clock i
on his way to Providence. Rhode is
land, when he nouced the keel of a
large vessel apparently stationary, ,
about five miles east southeast of the
Greens Ledge lighthouse and between
Norwaik and Westport .

Meets Embedded In The Mud.

After much dlfiiculty the crew of tho
Patience succeeded in getting a line
to the schooner. The vessel‘s masts
were lmbedded in the mud. and Cup
tain Miner stated that In all his sea~
faring experience he had never before
seen a vessel turned completely over

it was ascertained that the vessel's
name was Willie L. Newton, of Bangor,
Maine, She appeared to be light as
there was no cargo aboard and no no
bris about the vessel that would Indi-
cate that she had been carrying one

the other spurred been carried away,
or were torn into ribbons, so as to ren-
der them useless.

Vessel Towed to Wilson Point.

Captain Miner dropped his tow of
barges and anchored them In a safe
place and then be towed the schooner
to Wilson's Point. and made her fast
Just inside the cove. He then return-
ed to the place where the barges had
been left. and brought them Into Wil-
son's Point. By the time this had been
accomplished the night was well ad-
vanced, and the crew on board the
Patience were exhausted with the un-
usual work in the rough weather and
darkness.

‘ Could Not Right Vessel.

This morning an effort was made to
right the vessel, but it was unsuccess-
ful. and wrecking tugs will have to be
procured to accomplish this work.

Men's Indy Fluted From. Cabin.

Shortly before 10 o'clock the body
of a man hosted from the cabin of the

the finding of the body, and he went
at once to Wilson' a Point. The launch

He is of the opinion that It will be

necessary to procure wrecking apps-

ratus to right the schooner, and float

her again. The hull appears to be un-

injured. the principal damage being

the carrying of the sails, masts, etc.
No One Sew Vooeel Upset.

No one saw the schooner capslze
from the shore, as the rain and scud
had enveloped her. When last seen
she was about two miles to the South-
east of Green’s reef and was carrying
jib sail. No one seemed to notice just
what sells were set. in the excite-
ment of seeking shelter, people were
not noticing what the schooner was
doing

Description of the Dead Men.

The dead man Is very stockily built.
He weighs about 200 pounds and is a
man apparently 56 or 60 years of age.
He has brownish eyes and iron gray
hair. He Is almost bald, and has a
rather ragged iron gray moustache. He
was fully dressed and wore a black di
agonal sack coat and vest, black or
very dark colored trousers. red socks
and e striped shirt of a bluish color.

After Medical Examiner Huntington
had viewed the remains Undertaker D.
w Raymond was informed of the case,
Mr. Raymond himself went to the scene
in a launch and Wallace Williams drove
to Wilson's Point. The body was then
taken froru the wafer and removed to
Mr. Raymond's undertaking rooms
where a more thorough search of the
clothing will be made to give further
clues to his identity, if possible.

Looking for other Bodies.
No other bodies h‘aVe as yet been re-

. covered though there are a number

of small boats cruising about the scene
of the Wreck and men are patrolling
the shores from The Knob to Collea-
der’s Paint It It believed that seVernl
of the bodies will wash ashore today or
tomorrow.

Well-Known Lumber Vessel.

The Willie L. Newton was built at
Bangor in Hill] and that was her home
port. She was of 328 net tonnage, 140
feet long and 32.5 feet broad. She was
one of the best known of al time coast-
ers plying between Maine ports and
New York having been used chiefly in
the lumber trade. She put into New
London on the 22d and sailed from
there two days later.

pletlnq the Details and Making
, Assignments of Teachers. ‘ .

While the pupils and teachers of the
South Norwalk Union School District
have been enjoying the long summer

tion, many changes and improve
ment- have been brought about in the
school buildings by the competent Jan-
itors, Henry Booger and Seth Reming-
ton, under the direction .of tho Die-
trlot Committee. Messrs. Light. Blan-
chard and Corbett, One room at each
building has been seated with adjust-
able furniture. desks and seats pur-
chased from Kenny Brothers and W0!-
kins. of Boston. This In of the latest
pattern and while costing no more than
the old style rigid furniture gives an
opportunity to adjust hygienically
both seat and desk to the pupil's
height and length of leg.

Both Janitors have been constantly at
work cleaning thoroughly their respec-
tive buildings after those seats were
set up and put In place. All the old
desks etc, have been revamlshed, re—
pairs made in rooms. halls, etc. The
pupils will return finding everything
spirit and span clean. The most noto-
worthy improvement has been the pin-
cing of a new metal ceiling In the spa-
cious i-‘rnnklin assembly hull. Year
after year the old ceiling has been
breaking away: It had been patched
and many places were so broken that
there was danger of a fall of masonry.

. - tuwrisc of continuous repair was
large. so the committee decided on
making a tlrst class job and a nest,
cleanly ceiling is the result. Above
every other consideration the danger
of falling mortar upon the children's
heads is at an end. After the ceiling
was in place, it was painted by the
Janitors, no small labor. and its heat
trim appearance necessitated the pain.
ting of side walls etc.. The room now
is in first class shape. This extra
work. so well done. has kept the inni-
tors continually at it.

The opening of school. Tuesday,
September 8th.. will find the buildings
in shape. The arrangement and loca-
tion of the rooms, the assignment of
teachers, new and former ones. to their
respective grades, the outlining of the
work of each teacher etc. is now or-
cupylngn the attention of Principal
Fools.

Driven by the storm of yesterday sf

They left Dorions Point yesterday

The sailors were about to start for
home when they noticed that the sky
looked anything but propitious, and
