SCHOONER BURNT
THREE DROWNED, OTHERS MISSING
HALIFAX (Nova Scotia), Dec. 16. Fire broke out suddenly on Friday night and burned a fishing schooner, the Ellen T. Marshall, of Gloucester, Massachusetts, to the water's edge, off Cape Sable, Nova Scotia. Nineteen of the crew of 26 were saved, including the captain, Albert Hines, of Boston. Eight men were picked up by the Danish steamer Lars Kruse. Eleven made shore in dories after battling with the wind and sea. Three were drowned when a dory capsized as they attempted to beach the craft. One dory, believed to contain the remaining four members of the crew, is still unaccounted for.
