[| 4* & = SHIPS IN CRASH, BOTH ARE SUNK Captain and Mate of Schooner Ella Pressey Lost When Their Vessel Was Sunk by the Fran- cis Shubert. ( SHUBERT, OIL LADEN, SET ON FIRE BY CAPTAIN. Towboat Winslow Was Near at Hand and Took the Survivors of the Collision Off Wellfleet Into Boston. (Special to The Evening World.) BOS an, 26.—On board the tow- boat ge M. Winslow when she steamed In carly to-day were eight sor- rowful and weary sailors who had pivsed through an eaperience that would try the souls of the most daring. They were the captuin and crew of the three-nasted schooner Francis Shu bert, of Boston, and what remained of the crew of the two-masted schooner Ella Pressey, In the darkness of Sunday night the two vessels came in collision about two miles off Wellfleet. The Ella Pressey was sunk and the captain of the Francis Shubert set fire to his vessel lest she would be a men- ace to navigation fhe captain and mate of the Pressey were lost with the sc when she went down. Two of thy crew Jumped to the Shubert immediately after the collision, and the other man was sayed by those on the Shubert after he had been in the water about ten minutes, Loaded with Kerosene O11, The Shubert was beund from’ New York to Portland, Me. with a cargo of kerosene oll, and the Pressey was sailing from Rockland, Me, to New London, Cuun., with a cargo of stone, Sunday night was fairly clear and Capt. T. G. Starkey, of the Shubert, says he could see plainly. He left New York a week ago last Sunday, Jan. 17, and put into several ports on account of giles and for supplies. Capt. Star- key saw the green light of the Pressey, then the red light, and suddenly the two vessels seemed to be driven to- kether by some mysterious force. See- ing that only quick action could pre- vent & collision, Capt. Starkey put his wheel down hard, but a moment too late. Before she could answer to the rudder the Francis Shubert struck the Eila Pressey square in the side, nearly uinfdships. : Both Veusels Doomed, The shock keeled the Pressey over, broke the bowsprit and shivered the bow of the Shubert. ‘Two of the for- mer's crew, who were near where the’. vessel was struck, selzed the torn rig- ging of the Shubert and clambered whoard of her. These were Carl Han- sen, a Swede, and Arthur A. Buckman, of Rockland, Me. Capt, Ellas White. of Rockland, with his mate, Fred E. Peterson, also of Rockland, and Oscar Scott, a Finlander, who has no perma- nent residence, but usually stops in New York, were aft when the craft struck. Scott jumped into the schoo: ers small boat and called to the c tain and mate to come with him, t they hesitated for a moment and were lost. When the Shubert drew away from the Pressey she left a gaping hole in the, hull of the doomed schooner into which’ the water poured lke a cataract. The vessel was already loaded down with her cargo of stone, and the added Weight of the water sent her quickly to the bottom, Scott was carried down, but rose later and.was rescued. ‘Then it was discovered that the Shu- bert was sinking. In a few minutes the lights of the tug George M. Winslow were seen, She steamed up and saved the imperilled men—five on the Shubert und three of the Pressey. As they left the doomed vessel she was set on fire and soon burned to the water's edge. — CONFEDERATES’ BANQUET. They Drink Standing to Robert £.
