Wreckage FoUnd Along Long Island
Shore but No Trace of Crew,
In a' snowstorm off tiro Long Island
shore, another vessel, thu schooner
Swallow of St. Johns, N. l, and her
crew paid the toll so often demanded
of thobe who go down to the sou in
ships The .story of tho wreck was
told bylhe sea Itself, Tor it strewed
tho beach east- of Fire Island tor auv
eral miles with bits of wreckage from
the ship and cargo. On somo of this
llotsnni appeared the name "Swallow,
St. Johns, N. P.," and this told the
heachmen the name of the vessel that
had pounded Itself to pieces In tho
howling gal Of the crew, probably
hvo or six men, -judging from tho
schooner's' sire, there was no trace.
But lookiiif, out at the wildly tossing
seas, the thick, di Ivlng snow, with Us
attending hitter cold, the betitbrrieu
know their fate
It Is supposed that the Swallow was
bound from Newfoundland to New
York with a cargo of frozen herring
nnd she carried a deckload of lumber.
Cnught In the storm, the, members of
the crew probably lost their hearings
and struck on one of the many sand
bars a mile or so off the shore of the
Blue Point station There? the wind
nnd luay teas pounded the vessel to
pieces n a short time and tho men
aboard were speedily lost In the sea
