SWEPT TO DEATH.
WRECKED SAILORS’ PLIGHT. LONDON, Sept. 27. During a heavy gale the occupants of the Oharpentier lighthouse, near St. Lazaire, saw at night-time two pieces of wreckage on which six exhausted men were clinging, says a message from Paris. The occupants threw lifelines and life-belts, but the waves swept the helpless, shipwrecked men out of sight. In a subsequent search they found the body of a young sailor from the schooner Madelaire, which has been reported lost.
