D. W. Wiley, of the Tug Underwriter, Brings Details of the Sinking of the Schooner Oler. NO CHANCE FOR THE CREW. The tug Underwriter, which towed the schooner Wesley M. Oler from Nassau to a point off Cape Hatteras, where she was wrecked in last week's gale, arrived here to-day. Capt. D. W. Wiley, of the Under- writer, told the story of the last days of the Oler. “We were down in the Southern wat- ers with the Orton. towing the old Spanish drv dock from Havana to Pensacola.” he raid. “when we received orders to @ to Nassau and tow the schooner W. M. Oler to New York. The schooner was bound from Vene- zuela with a caren of evano. She had sprung aleak, and when we took hold of her In Nagsau harbor she was mak- ing some fourteen inches of water a day, but they had a donkey engine and pumps on board. and Capt. Eaton, her skinrer, thonebt that he could keep her going while we towed her up. “We left Nassau Nov, 30, We caught heavy ground swell from the south- west which gave us a terrible roll on the following Tuesday. On Wednesday night, when off Savannah, the rolling grew worse and kept increasing untll Thursday morning, when It scttied down Into a long steady roll such as 1 have not seen in my fifty years of deep sea sailing. “At every roll the schooner's decks were awash.

We were somewhere between Point Lookout and Cape Hatteras, The wind was blowing between fifty and sixty miles an hour. At 2.20 in the morning the hawser from the Under- writer to the Oler parted. I laid by until daylight, but when day broke I could not see ‘any sign of the schooner. The last glimpse 1 had of my tow through the darkness after the hawser parted was a fleeting one some twenty minutes later, She was then rolling in the seaway, but I coud not make out any one, on’ deck. “I don't belleve that a man could live on her decks as the big rollers were breaking all ove her, Unquestionably Capt. Eaton found it impossible to set any sail, ag even a headsall, to steady her, for ‘his men could not lve on deck I stood by till daylight. and as I could Nnd no sign of her, T headed for New: port News, where 'I first learned that the wreck’ had come ashore at Hat- teras.
