MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF CREW The Vessel sad Cargo of Lamfeer a Total Loss No thsaraaxe Oa Either The Rescued ' Captain Saw Admiral VUlamil Die. The American steamer Catharine Whiting, Capt. F. C. Miller, of New York, was wrecked during the hurri cane last Tuesday morning at Goss beach, Brunswick county, about forty miles below Southport and twenty miles sduth bf Frylngpan Shoals light ship. She was bouncPfrom Satilla River, Georgia, for New York, with a cargo of 350,000 feet of lumber. The vessel and cargo are a total loss. The crew of the ship, consisting of eigh teen men. were saved in a miraculous manner. The vessel was owned by Capt. Mil ler, and was valued at 120,000. There wss no insurance on her. She was a wooden hull ship, and was built at Maiden, New York, in 1863. She was 890 tons burthen, 190 feet length, 33 feet beam, and drew 16 feet water. The cargo was valued at $3,000, and was not insured. The steamer Seabright, Capt. W. A. Sanders, of this city, which left here Wednesday for Calabash, picked up the Catharine Whiting's crew at Little River, S. C, and brought them to the city yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. In the party were Captain- Miller and his father, Capt. C. F. Miller, who was mate of the vessel and who is 84 years of age a hale and hearty man, however, for one of his age. Captain Miller and his father are guests of Captain Sanders at his home, No. 415 Grace street, while the crew of the vessel were taken care of elsewhere. The Wreck of the Whitior. Captain Miller last evening gave a Stab reporter the following account of the loss of his ship: "We left Satilla River at 2 P.M. last Saturday with a cargo of lumber. shipped by the Hilton-Dodge Lumber Company. We had good weather till Sunday, when a gale struck us off Cape Romain; on the coast of South Carolina, near Charleston. The wind was blowing steadily from the northeast at the rate of 20 miles an hour. The ship, however, made good head way, but the gale increased steadily and the sea got so rough we hauled in under land twenty miles north of Cape Romain. We finally anchored for harbor in six fathoms of water thirty miles below Southport. The gale was blowing from the north east, and under land the ship had very good harbor. All day Monday the wind kept increasing in velocity and the barometer steadily went down till it registered 29.90. The wind in creased from the northeast and was blowing at the rate of 50 or 60 miles an hour. We still had comparatively smooth water under the lee of the land and thought we were safe. Awful Ezperieace. "About 12 o'clock on Monday" Capt. Miller, continued, "there was a dead calm for fifteen minutes, and then the wind shifted to the east, coming directly from the ocean. Then I real ized that instead of a northeast gale. we had a hurricane on hand to deal with. It began to blow with equal, if not increased severity, as when the wind was northeast. The wind then shifted to southeast and caused the ocean to sweep right in towards shore. During Monday night the sea got so rough that both chains were parted and we lost both anchors. We at tempted to 8 team off shore but could make no headway against the force of the hurricane and the rough sea com ing in from the same direction. The ship began to drift rapidly towards tho land which was some two or three miles away.as we judged only from soundings, as the heavy rain squalls prevented us from seeing the shore. About 4 A.M. Tuesday the ship got in the breakers and struck bottom with a heavy thump, in four fathoms of water. 8he began to pound heavily and be gan at once to go to pieces in a tre mendous surf. The stem of the ship was the first to be hammered to pieces. Quickly the mainmast, the smoke stack and the foremast came down in the order named. Timber was crash ing in all directions, and it is a wonder that many of the crew were not killed. The second officer, Frank jonnson, was struck by a piece of timber and was knocked from the .bridge to the deck, a distance of twelve feet. It was a wonder he was not killed, but he escaped with a very severe cut on his hand, as the result of his terrible fall. Everything was smashing, and the crew wanted to take to the boats, but I ordered them not to launch a boat, telling them that they would be mashed to pieces with the timber from the breaking ship, and the whole of them would be lost I told them to do as I said, and, as they had confi dence in me, they obeyed my order not to touch a boat. "In the meantime," said Captain Miller, "our three boats were smashed to splinters. Lines were tied arouna the pilot house and the crew lashed themselves on top and awaited their fate. The ship broke" all to pieces un- der us, but if our rescue naa Deen planned beforehand it could not nave worked out more successfully. Tne pilot house with a portion of the upper deck finally broke loose from the ship and was driven through the surf to the shore where we stepped "Out on the sand, without the loss of one of the eighteen. Our deliverance waa miraculous." Morn WILMINGTON, N. O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, Captain Miller aaya the men lost everything they had, except the clothes they had onTtbeirbaoks. They were wet and cold, and " as" soon as they got on the beaoh they ran up and down to keep warm.- They were not only cold, but were desperately hun gry, having eaten nothing for 48 hours, as the ship had such a rough experi ence it was impossible to cook any thing. He says it was about daylight when they got ashore, and when the inhabitants found them in distress they came to their relief. He was loud in his praise of the hospitality of Mr. George Brooks.of Seaside, and the peo pie of the neighborhood. The crew of the Whiting fell into good hands when they were picked np by Capt. Sanders, of the Seabright. While he was asleep in bis cabin yesterday morning he was awakened by Capt. Miller who told him of their plight, sayin? there were eighteen hungry men in the party; that they didn't have a cent and wanted to come to Wilmingtoa. Capt. Sanders told them to come right aboard and that if there was a ay mortal thing he cduld do for them it would be done. Capt. Banders called up his cook and told him to go to work and cook till he fed every one of the shipwrecked men. Capt Miller's cook joined in and they soon had enough for all hands. Capt. Miller, says Capt Sanders entertained him and his men with the most open handed heartiness and hospitality, and he could not find words to give him the thanks and credit due him for what he so nobly did for them. He and his crew expeefto leave for New York as early as possible. Saw Cervera's Fleet Destroyed. During the war between the United States and Spain Captain Miller wit nessed the destruction of Admiral Cer vera's fleet in the great naval battle at Santiago, Cuba, on Sunday, July 3d, 1898. He was in command of the yacht Wanda, which was one of the Associated Press dispatch boats, car rying dispatches from the blockading fleet to Kingston, Jamaica. The Wanda was the flagship of Col. Chas. H. Diehl, New York manager of the Associated Press, who was in charge of the war dispatch service. Saw Cervera Coming Oat. Last night Captain Miller talked in terestingly of his experience at San tiago. It had been customary for the Wanda to land a correspondent dur ing the night and take him back on board next morning after he had ex ploited on shore for news. One of the newspaper men had gone ashore Saturday night, July 21, and Sunday morning about 9 o'clock the Wanda went in towards the entrance to the harbor to take him off. When Cap tain Miller was waiting along the shore for the newspaper man. he looked up the harbor and saw Cer vera's fleet coming out. The news gatherer was where he could not see and had told Capt Miller he would stay ashore a while longer. When Capt. Miller saw the Spanish coming out he yelled to the correspondent and he hastened onboard. Before the Wanda could get away the Spanish fleet came around and the great naval battle be gan. The little yacht was in the firing line aud when the Spanish torpedo boats Pluton and Furor were blown up she was within four ships' lengths from them. While the Pluton was sinking, Capt Miller was sitting on his cabin with a camera taking a pho tograph of her, but a shell from some of the Spanish or the American ships shot away the Wanda's foretopmast. causing the captain to lo3e his camera and his picture of the sinking Spaniard. How Admiral VHlamil Died. Capt Miller says the Wanda and the converted yacht Gloucester were the only American ships that rescued the Spaniards from the water. The Wanda picked up twelve officers and men of the Pluton and Furror, including the executive officer of the Pluton, the chief engineer of the Furor, the tor pedero (or head torpedo man) of the Pluton, and two quartermasters. Af ter their ships went down, the Wanda launched her boats and picked up the Spaniards while they were swimming in the sea. The Spanish prisoners told Captain Miller that Admiral Villamil, who was in command of the torpedo boats, had been wounded and was ashore. They requested him to send a boat for him. Capt Miller took one of the 8panish officers and with two boats went ashore for the admiral. He took a sedan chair on which . to carry . the wounded admiral and the Spaniard went alonsr to identify him. They found Admiral Villamil, and Capt. Miller says he had almost bled to death from his wounds. They placed him in the chair and started down to the boat, but Pa number of Cuban soldiers fired into the party, endanger ing the lives of the Americans as well as the Spaniards. While they were carrying Admiral Villamil he died, and being pursued byjthe Cubans they placed the chair with his body among the crags and got back to the Wanda. Word was sent,to Santiago that Admiral Villamil's body was on the shore, but it was some time before it was discovered. It will be remem bered that his skeleton waa afterwards found in the chair and was identified ' by the insignia of his rank. Here is the story of how the ill-fated admiral's bleached bones happened to be found in the chair Expected to be Bctchered. Caotain Miller states that when the Spaniards were taken on the Wanda thev expected to be butchered. In stead they were fed and clothed, their wounds were dressed, and they drank the best liquor the Americans had. When they were eating the Spaniards were overheard expressing ; wonder at their treatment Cant Wainwright of the Glouces ter, demanded the Spaniards from N(j Capt Miller, but he refused to give them up. Finally a boat came over from the Gloucester and a note ad dressed to the officers on the Wanda was handed to Capt Miller. It or dered the Spaniards to report on the Gloucester, and was signed "Cer vera." Capt Miller then sent the Spaniards to the Gloucester, but now he wants to kick himself for not pocketing Cer vera's order as a souvenir. One of the Spanish officers, after reading it, put it in his pocket. The Gloucester had picked up Ad miral Cervera and a large number of his men. Capt. Miller says the Glou cester sank the Pluton and Furor, and, singular to relate, Capt. Wainwright, her commander, was executive officer on the Maine when she was blown up. He "remembered the Maine" but af ter capturing the Spaniards he treated them with great civility- and kindness THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

Sanders, whb returned from a trip around the coast to Little River, S. C, on his sturdy little steamer, the Seabright,laat evening, in addition to bringing the crew of the stranded steamer Catherine Whiting, referred to in another column, brought news of great havoc wrought by Tuesday's storm along the coast The two-masted schooner Bessie Moore belonging to Capt. Sanders went ashore at the mouth of Tubb's Inlet She was loaded with clams for Wil mington and is probably a total loss. With the wreck of the Moore and a fish and oyster building belonging to him at Tubb, Capt Sanders' loss will be between $350 to $400. The crew drifted ashore. The crew of the schooner Stonewall consisting of Capt. Laucine Holden and three sailors, who were thought to have been lost wilh the vessel, are safe having drifted ashore in a small row boat The Stonewall is bottom up in Shallotte inlet. She was light from Wilmington to Shallotte and belonged to Capt A. A. Milliken. - The schooner Gold Leaf, a two masted vessel, belonging to Mr. R. R. Stone and Mr. Jesse Wilson la also lost. Capt. A. D. Bessent and crew of three men washed ashore on Futch's beach four miles from Little River, S. C, and barely escaped with their lives. The Gold Leaf was bound from this port to Little River, S. C, with a general cargo valued at $1,500 shipped by Wilmington merchants. The damage at Little River, Capt Sanders says, is principally to crops. Much cotton growing on swamp lands and consequently stow to open, was badly injured. The clam, fish and oyster interests have also suffered heavily. Capt. Sanders lost another clam and fish house at Little River. Mr. Ed. Taylor, of the firm of Brooks & Taylor, yesterday received a telegram from his partner Mr. J. W.

It was thought Thursday that the Lee with all hands on board was lost in the recent storm and the Star stated in this connection that Mr. Brooks, the owner, had gone to Southport to look after his interest in Che same. Capt. William Williamson and crew of two other men, one of whom was a man named James Sommerset, are safe. The schooner encountered the gale, as stated yesterday, off Caswell. When it was seen that it would be impossible for her to ride the storm out safely, Capt. Williamson cut away the masts and sails, threw the deck load overboard and with his men shut himself in the cabin.

The Meigs Sisters last night inaugu rated the Star Course of entertainments at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium. When considered from a standpoint of the perfect "music and thorough ap preciation on the part of the audience as demonstrated by the frequent and hearty applause, the entertainment was a decided success in every feature. The rendition of the programme was so perfect in its entirety, that it is al most impossible to discriminate as to the merits of the several pieces. Miss Suter's wonderful display of harmony and perfect musical talent evoked the greatest applause and, par ticularly so when she sung the old but ever appreciated "Bonnie Annie Laurie." Her rendition of "Because 1 Love You," also elicited much ap plause as did Mrs. Dudham's excellent soprano voice in "Again My Gentle Lute." The Meigs Sisters are unquestionably the finest female quartette in this country and well demonstrated that fact last night. The exquisite blending of their voices into a sweet and melod ious sound, the harmony and art, ap pealed strongly to the refined and cul tured audience. Mr. Wm. L. Latta, manager of the entertainments, deserves great credit for having secured such an excellent attraction. SchoonerRoger Moore. Mr. James T.
