At that time there was a driving southeaster and tremenâ€" dous seas were running. The lifeâ€" savrers could distinguish the vessel with their night glasses, and at once launched the lifeboat and startedl to the rescue. After batâ€" tling with the heavy seas for three hours and getting near enough to distinguish several men clinging to the rigging, they were forced to abandon the attempt at rescue and ewalit daybreak. Several timos the lifeboat came near being swamped. When day broke this morning there was a heavy fog hanging over the ocean, but _ the lifeâ€"saving crew launched their boat, and started in the direction of the stranded vesâ€" sel. When the lifeâ€"savers reached the Abbott it was found that she was dismasted and there was no sign of life on board. The fog lifted and the lifeâ€"savers began a search for the crew of the barque. After cruising about the wreck for some time they located what was supâ€" posed to be the barque‘s boat, but upon drawing nearer it was found to be the Abbott‘s deckâ€"house. Clinging to the top of the wreckâ€" age, and almost dead from exhausâ€" tion, were five members of the crew. They were quitckly taken into the lifeborat â€" an<d brought ashore. One died soon afterwards. When the mer had been landed at the lifeâ€"saving station, the lifeâ€"savers again went to the scene of the wreck, but have not yet gucceoded in finding any trace of the other four members of the crow.
