SCHOONER ABLAZE
THREE DROWNED—FOUR MISSING
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] HALIFAX (Nova Scotia), Dec. 16. A fire broke out suddenly on Friday night and burned the Gloucester (Massachusetts) fishing schooner', Ellen T. Marshall, to the water’s edge, off Cape Sable, Nova Scotia. Nineteen of her crew of twentv-six were saved, including Captain Albert Hines, of Boston. Eight men were picked up by the Danish steamer Lars Kurse. Eleven made the shore in dories, after battling with wind and sea. Three were drowned when a dory capsized, as they attempted to beach the craft. One dory, which is believed to contain the remaining four members of the crew, is still unaccounted for.
