MANY SAILORS' LIVES LOST; VESSELS WRECKED AND SEAMEN DROWNED IN THE GALE. Three-Masted Schooner Kate Markee Driven Ashore Near Highlands, N. J., and Her Crew of Eight Perished - Life-Saving Crews Powerless -- Sailors. Took Refuge in the Rigging and Were Dragged Overboard by the Breaking Up of the Schooner. (from NY Times)
LOST IN THE STORM
A Schooner Wrecked at Highland Beach and the Crew Lost.
The three-masted schooner Maggie Magee (sic) struck the bar off Highland Beach at eleven o'clock this morning, and not a single man on the vessel was saved. Shortly after the boat struck her masts fell and then she appeared to break right in two. On account of the heavy sea the life-savers were unable to get lines to the vessel in time to save the crew. One man was seen floating towards shore on a broken spar, but when within a few yards of the beach he released his hold and sank. The number of men who were on board is not known.
At Seabright the monster waves are cutting away bulkheads and doing other damage. The railroad track is washed away between Highland Beach and Seabright. The cottage of Ferdinand P. earle at Normandie, which was occupied by Senator Hill last summer, was being undermined at noon, but it is thought that the cottage will be saved.
Ocean avenue at Long Branch is nearly all gone.
