Show ENTIRE CREW LOST IN SEA Schooner Driven Ashore in "Graveyard of Atlantic" and Then Disappears; Ten Men Perish. NORFOLK, V., Feb. 7. An unidentified uniden-tified three-masted schooner, which was driven a-shore Tuesday night upon the southwest corner of the Diamond shoals, off the treacherous Hatteras coast, for a century known as the graveyard of the Atlantic coast, went to pieces in a raging sea last night. When the life savers arose at daybreak day-break today to renew efforts which failed yesterday to rescue the crew, no trace of the schooner was seen. There is no doubt of the loss of all the crew, who yesterday were seen clinging to the rigintf. The hapless ship appeared to have carried a crew of eight or ten men. Most of them doubtless doubt-less were frozen before they were washed into the sea. |
