From . River In' March. wecKt on Well Known v eeach North of Here. .V. The United States re venue cutter Seminole, Capt. Godfrey L. Carden in command, came into port last night at 9 o'clock after having. Thursday night accomplished, j in! pulling ' the stranded 'schooner -William Thomas Moore, Jr., out of the -bed of sand at Little River Inlet, where she has been lying since March 29th, what was looked upon by nautical men " as the impossible. Never in all " her . career has the gallant cutter accomplished a more difficult salvage feat, and th9 officers and men are Justly elated over its performance.. ... The cutter towed the schooner from Little River up the coast to the Cape Fear bar, and in across the bar at noon yesterday, . proceeding on up. the ri v e r y esterday afternoon as far as Campbell's- Island, about nine miles below the city. Here-the schooner was anchored and left for a tug boat to Dnng ner on up tne river this morning, as it was ? deemed . bestrnot to try to bring her up. the channel in tov- of the putter after darkness came on. . Captain .Garden , -last night spoke very highly of the splendid work of the cutter's crew. The men, he said, worked practically 48. hours on a stretch, much of the time out in life boats in ar rough-sea And wet-to the pkin for hours at a . time- He also stroke of the splendid manner in which Capt- Dunbar Davis, of the.Oak Island Lire Saving Station, co-operated in the work of floating the stranded schoon er. . - The William Thomas Moore, Jr., Captain Jones, lumberrr laden . and bound from Little -River, S.

Early efEorts to pull her off failed, as on account of the "shallowness .of the water it 'Was impossible for the tugs and cutter, to-get -within. half , a mile of her. v- . - However, the cutter went back to the task Wednesday," and an; effort was made to pull the schooner ' off at Spring tide ..Wednesday:; : night.". A heavy sea was runningand ' with half a mile of heavy hawser between ? the enter and the schooner, the drag on this was so great that-the Seminole could not keep her head on. .- Riaaed Wireless Station. -' The cutter did not . abarldon the! task, however, and made elaborate preparations for another try Thurs day n5ght. The two wireless opera-i tofs on the Seminole rigged up a complete wireless station on - the schooner, and in this manner enabled the two boats to communicate with each other- - ' c : Spring tider. camo.'juSt about with darkness, and it -was found ithat' the hawser, splicedi time j&nd; again to make it. reach, : was still about COO fctnoms short. .

Slowly the schooner responded, but only ?to- swing around sideways,.-. as if 'resting Jen a 5 pivot.. And then came amessage from the wireless on the schooner, "Stop pull ing. Line parting." ' A halt was -made long enpugph to have the line on the stern bitts of the schooner made fast and secure and ihen the pull was resumed- This time th& effort was successful, the cutter dragging the schooner stern first out over several hundred yards of sand bars until she floated free in the open sea. The schooner immedi ate! v got up her, sails and proceeded far "enough out to sea to be safe- Her rudder was practically of no use, hav ing been damaged in the sand- The cutter then took up the task of getting in the great length of haw ser, which took the men until 1 o'clock yesterday morning. She then took the schooner in tow ; and . proceeded up the coast, reaching the Cape Fear bar shnrrlv htfm-e -tiftori. " OwinK tO the heavy tide running out-over the barN it took nearly two Hours to get me schooner across and -into the river.
