Awful Etiperience of the Crew of '
Schooner Nahum Chapin.
NINE PERSONS PERISHED.
The Vessel \Vas lVashed by the Storm Up
to \Vithin a Few Hundred Yards of
the Shore—One “’oman and Her
Child Among the Drowned.
QUOGUE, N. Y., J an. 22.—The three
masted schooner Nahum Chapin, Captain
Arey, of Rockland, Me, from Baltimore
for Boston, was lost within 300 yards of
the shore at this place early today, and her
crew of nine men perished miserably Within
sight of hundreds of men and women, who
could do nothing to help them.
The vessel for three hours pounded up
higher and higher upon the hard, sandy
beach. Then with a crash she went to
pieces, and one by one the nine sailors on
her, who could plainly be seen clinging to
her rigging, were engulfed with the wreck—
age and died within hailing distance of
the life savers on shore.
It was raining hard when the captain
came ashore. It was not exactly foggy,
but the rain was fine and thick, and a sort
of white mist enveloped the face of the
ocean and hid from view even the tops of
the huge waves as they came tumbling in.
A stifi breeze of about 30 miles an hour
was blowing from the southeast. The surf
was unusually high, and the waves beat in
upon the beach with great fury.
The town of Quogue stretches down to
The sandy stretch of Fire
island is away some miles to the east, and
nothing interposes to save the town from
the beat of the ocean. The beach here is
hard and wide. About 400 or 500 yards
out at sea is a sandy bar which is not to
be seen even at very low tide. The waves
ripple over it when the sea is calm, but in
a gale or in a high sea the waves run high
above the bar.
It was at a few minutes before 4 o’clock
this morning that the wreck occurred.
The storm was at its worst at that time.
The villagers say that it was the worst
storm this part of Long Island has known
in years.
Discovery of the Wreck.
The patrol from the life saving station
was on his beat. Suddenly above the roar
came a faint, shrill cry, not unmusical,
weird and full of meaning to the practiced
car of the patrol, for it was the wailing of
the fog horns that sailing vessels carry“
Then through the darkness flashed a vivid
light, the glare of a rocket. For an instant
the white mist disappeared as though the
curtain were thrust aside, and, coming
madly before the gale, the man on the
beach saw a. three masted schooner, her
sails in shreds, beating in hard upon the
beach, not 400 yards from shore-
She struck the bar and then carcened
over on one side. It was the work of but
a few moments for the patrol to give the
signal to the station to which he belonged,
and in a few minutes at the most the life
saving crew was on its way to the place,
its cannon and lifeboat bounding over the
beach, with the men pushing and tugging
at them and donning their life preservers
and oilskins as they ran.
By the time they reached the spot near-
est the vessel thc alarm had reached the
village, and dozens of townsfolk had gath-
ered to watch the work of the crew and to
help if possible too.
The vessel had come ashore almost in
the very center of the village. From the
steps of the churches when daylight came
the people could look down the main street
and on the life savers on the beach, and a
few hundred yards farther out the vessel
beating in the surf and the men clinging
to the rigging. .
At first the life savers built a fire on the
beach, and then they placed a signal to let
those on the ship know that they were
about to send them a rope. At that time
only the dull outlines of the vessel, framed
in the angry surf, could be made out, but
soon it began to get a little brighter, and
the crew of the vessel could be made out
clinging to the rigging.
Futile Efforts at Rescue.
A rope was then fired from the mortar. It
struck the vessel, hung for a second across
her yards and then fell into the sea. Then
another rope was fired. This time the rope
landed safe and secure in the rigging. The
men on the vessel managed to secure it,
but could not make it fast to the vessel.
This rope was lost, as was a third that
was sent out a short time later. The men
on the vessel could catch- the ropes, but
they could not secure them to the schooner.
The storm was at its worst, and the masts
of the vessel were swinging to and fro,
striking the surf almost at every dip.
The vessel in the meantime had been
made out to be a three masted schooner.
She was at daybreak within 350 yards of
the shore and beating in farther and far-
ther every minute.
The life savers and those on the beach
could make out nine men in the rigging.
Six of the men were clinging to the fore-
mast rigging, and three men were on the
jib boom. If there were others on the vessel,
they could not be made out and had prob-
ably been lost before that time.
It was not‘known whether the vessel had
lost her bearings or whether she had sprung
a leak and had been beached by her cap-
tain in a vain hope of saving her.
The life savers on the beach and the
crowd, which by this time had grown to
great size, cried out from time to time to
those on the vessel to hold on, that help
was near, and that just as soon as the sea
went down, as it would with the day, all
would be well, and a faint cry came back
every now and then from the wreck.
. Several attempts were made to launch a.
boat, but the sea was so terrific that it was
nothing but death to dare venture out, and
the boats could not pass the first breaker.
When 6 o’clock came, it was seen that
the vessel was undoubtedly doomed and
that there was but little hope for the men.
The sea was worse than ever. The gale
was something terrific, and to make mat-
ters worse it could plainly be seen that the
vessel was rapidly breaking up. She was
then hardly more than 300 yards from the
shore, and the whole village had turned
out in the rain to watch the struggling
vessel in her last throes.
The End of the Struggle.
In another hour the men of the life sav-
ing station did all in their power to get
assistance out to the doomed men, but it
was impossible, and finally, at a few min-
utes before 7 o’clock, it was evident to all
that the end was near at hand. ’
The vessel had at that time beaten her
way up upon the beach to within 300
yards of the village, and every sea drove
her farther up sand. ‘,
The vessel had been sinking. [Her decks
were all .under water. Only the masts and"
jib boom’s end, to which three of the men
. '\
o .
those on the beach.
‘n
were clinging, could be seen. With every
wave these men on the jib boom were bur-
led in the sea and hidden from the sight of
At last a huge wave
came along, and when it had passed over
the jib boom one man was missing.
Three men had been on the spar before
that wave dashed over it. N ow only two
could be seen. One man had been washed
away. He was never seen again.
Other waves swept over the ship, and
five minutes later another man was swept
from the jib boom, and but one man could
be seen clinging to the spar. He held on
to the last. The six men clinging to the
rigging of the foremost had been safe up
to this time, but the sea began to dash
over them every now and then.
It was 7 o’clock almost to the minute
when the end of it all came.
The vessel began to go to pieces rapidly.
Great planks, loosened from the hull, wem
swept in upon the beach on the tops of the
Waves. -
Then the masts began to whirl around,
and the life saving crew knew that they
would soon be rooted up from the hull of
the vessel. In a few minutes the mizzen-
mast came down with a crash, and at the
same moment a cry from the six men in
the rigging of the foremast told those on
the bank that it was all over.
The mainmast and the foremast fell over
after the other. The mainmast bent, and
then the foremast sprang up into the air
and fell back. The six men went down
with it. They could be plainly seen, and
their cries as their last hold disappeared
could be heard by those on the beach.
In a few moments great quantities of
wreckage began to come ashore. The name
of the vessel was not known up to that
time, but on a piece of the wreckage that
came ashore her name was to be made out.
At the last moment it was seen that two
of those who were clinging to the rigging
of the foremast were not men, as had been
supposed, but that one was a woman and
the other was a child.
The Alvena Under \Vater.
SANDY Hoou, N. J., Jan. 22.-—-Nothing
can be seen of the steamship Alvena’s deck-
houses. They appear to be wholly sub-
merged. Only parts of her masts, stack
and the point of her bowsprit are visible.
The sea is washing between them. Nothe
ing like floating cargo can be seen, but
plenty of it was picked up on the beach.
It is believed that the Alvcna will soon go
to pieces. . ~
A Message From the Sea.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Jan. 2°.—-A bottle
has been picked up on South beach, seven
miles below here, which contained a mes-
sage stating that the bark Ladras had
foundered at sea on Jan. 15. The message
was written on several small sheets of pa-
per and was signed by Captain Gonzales.
It was a log of the vessel from the time she
left port until she foundered.
Ashore at Old Point.
NORFOLK, Jan. 22.-—The steamer Char-
lotte of the Southern Railway line, out-
bound for Baltimore and heavily freighted,
went ashore at Old Point. The tug Pied-
mont went to her aid.
For a Central African Railway.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—The Portuguese
government has chartered a company, with
a capital of $6,813,000, to construct and
operate a railway from Kiliman to a point
on the British Central African border just
above the rapids on the Ruo, a distance of
about 200 miles. United States Consul
Hollis, at Mozambique, who reports the
fact to the state department, says this will
do much to relieve the excessive cost of
transportation from the coast to British
Central Africa growing out ofthe difficul-
ties of navigation of the Zambezi, the only
existing route.
Fatal Quarrel About a Girl.
CYNTHIANA, Ky., Jan. 22.—John Dacey
and Benjamin S. Dryman had been pay-
ing attention to J ennic Hillery and on sev-
eral occasions quarreled. While Dacey was
driving with Miss Hillery Dryman met
them. Both men drew theirpistols. Dacey
fired two shots. both taking effect in Dry-
man’s body. He died in a few minutes.
One shot from Dryman’s pistol pierced
Dacey’s brain, and he lived but a few
hours. The girl may lose her mind.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22-.—The Hono-
lulu papers contain news of another trans-
pacific steamship line, having its origin
in Yokohama. The first steamer will leave
Yokohama for this city on or about Feb.
5. The line is known as the San Francisco

and it will enter active competition in the
passenger and freight business. The
steamers will touch at Honolulu.
Taro Flou‘r From Hawaii. .
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22-.-———An interest-
ing item on the manifest of the steamship
Australia, just arrived from Honolulu, is
204 bags of taro flour, the principal in—
gredient in the famous Hawaiian dish
known as poi. So far as known, this is the
first shipment of flour ever received here.
It is consigned to Chicago. The flour is
made from the taro root.

taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
After she is thoroughly well, exercise and

cure should come first. Dr. Pierc’e’s Fa-

acts directly upon one set of organs. No
matter what is the matter with them, it
will cure it. It will not cure anything
else. It is a wholesome tonic, an invig-

a. healing medicine, and thousands of
perfectly well women have found that by
taking it regularly during the period of
pregnancy, the danger and pain of par-
turition were much lessened, and in
many cases, almost entirely obviated.

Since Dr. Jameson has been released
from prison on acount of ill-health, the
British Government seems to see no
reason for retaining his fellow-raiders,
and it is reported that they will all be
released before Christmas. Their sen—
tences Were very light, to start with,
and now they are to be considerably
reduced. The proceeding shows what
the British Government really thinks:
of. the Jameson raid, and will not
strengthen the friendly relations be-
tween it and the Government of the
Transvaal.
The Illinois Central Bailway’s plan,

fifteen hundred engineers, conductors.

owners of one or more shares of the
stock. This plan will undoubtedly be
adopted by other great corporations.

“'e never have reports of lynch-
ings in Mexico, and perhaps the story
that comes from Mondova, in the State:
of Coahuila, contains a reason why.
A short time ago a prominent resident
of that state was dccoyed into the-
mountains and there murdered by
some discharged employes. .IVithin a;
month the assassins have been cap— '
tured, four of, them executed and the
rest sentenced to long terms of im-
prisonment. Such promptness on the
part of jstice takes away all induce—~
ments to try cases in Judge Lynch’s
court. ~
Kansas, without woman suffrage, ape
pears to be doing more for the official:
recognition of women than those-
states where they have the ballot. At
the recent election 'twenty counties in
the state named chose women as su.»
perintendents of public schools, and int-
two towns all the local offices, includ—
ing those of Mayor and chief of po—
lice, were won by women candidates.
These results will be followed by the-
introduction of a bill at the coming;
session of the Legislature to submit a.
suffrage amendment to the people, and
present conditions warrant the belief
that such a measure would carry on
a popular vote. It must be admitted,
however, that in the matter of secur—
_ ing chi-("es the women of Kansas are
doing wonderfully well under the pres
