Thursday morning, ihe vessel sprang a leak off Hatch- ~1t's reef, near Niantic, and for three Niours the crew and captain manned the pumps during & heavy snow storm. Signals from the sinking vessel were seen by the crew of the Corn- tleld lightship, anchored in this vi- cinity. Before rescue was possible the crew of the Winceco were forced to put off in their small boat and row to the lightship. Willlam Matsen, 50, 2 member of the lightship crew, rowing to the as- sistance of the Winceco, dropped dead from a heart attack. It is be- lieved that excitement caused his| death.

No| word was received here of the sink- ing until today, when the Winceco crew were put ashore. LYNAN A. MILL, 87, EXPIRES IN FLORIDA| | started to help the women.

These were evident- ly the fuses blowing out.

When the guard opened the door, the people in the car became nervous, Then a man, losing his head, put his fist through a window in the door and the smoke began to pour in. Something had gone wrong with the mechanism and all the doors were locked. We couldn't move. “Suddenly the women began to scream. The air became dense. The smoke was thick like a blanket, I had two handkerchiefs pressed to | my nose and mouth but this didn’t top the smoke from getting at me. “The conduct of most of the people in the car was admirable.
