Wrecked on False Spit The Lubec Schooner MARY LEE
NEWTON Total Loss; The Crew Saved Boston, November 16. – False Spit, a sunken ledge near Boston light, caused the wreck of the schooner MARY LEE NEWTON Thursday night, the crew of the schooner saving their lives only by lashing themselves to the mast stumps until help arrived after daylight, in the form of a
tugboat. Capt. E. M. Maylord of Melrose, and a crew of three men suffered greatly from exposure during the night and were exhausted when rescued Friday. The MARY LEE NEWTON with a
cargo of coal, was bound from Weehawken, New York, for Lubec, Maine. She labored heavily in the storm which was running off Cape Cod Thursday, and shortly before dusk, while being driven before the gale, both her masts went overboard, with sails and rigging. Helpless, she was blown across the bay and struck False Spit ledge near the light.
The vessel pounded hard and the waves continually broke over her. The men lashed themselves to the broken masts and in that way survived the storm, as the schooner did not break up. They were weak and almost frozen when rescued. The MARY LEE NEWTON is owned by W. H. Morry of Lubec, and is probably a total loss. Capt. Aylwand said that the life savers
from the Point Atherton station assisted in taking them from their wrecked vessel and that the life savers had a perilous trip to get out to them.

The ROOSEVELT BADLY DAMAGED.
Com’d’r Peary’s Bucksport-Built Craft in Need of Repairs. Cause of Explorer’s Delay
One Blade of the Propeller is Gone and the Rudder is Partially Useless as a Result of Battles with Ice Floes. Sydney, N. S., November 16. – A message has been received from Comm’r Robert E. Peary, U. S. N., the Arctic explorer, by a local fi rm of shipwrights, saying that his steamer, the ROOSEVELT, has been considerably damaged. The message came from Battle Harbor, where the ROOSEVELT was last reported and where she still lay on Friday last.
One blade of the steamer’s propeller is gone and the rudder is considerably damaged as a result of the battles with the ice fl oes.
As the ROOSEVELT on her trial trip average only ten knot an hour it is thought these accidents will slow her down to about three or four knots an hour. Battle Harbor is about 440 miles from here. Mrs. Peary, the explorer’s wife, and W. S. Quigley, representing the Peary Arctic club, are here awaiting the arrival.
