ASV. SANDY HOOK STEAMER SINKS POWER BOAT Sloop Madeline with a Cargo and Running Without a Light When Monmouth Struck Her. TWO SAVED FROM WRECK Lighthouse Light Fell on Them and a Boat from the Monmouth Had Them Aboard In the Nick of Time. Sfciial 19 1 ht Siw York Timts. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS.

N. June 20. The fast Jersey Central steamer Monmouth did not reach her'pler at this plaj-e on her last trip from New York -until nearly midnight last night, because she had run Into the converted power sloop Madeline of Port Monmouth while crossing the West Bank. She hit the vessel at full speed, cutting her bow off and rolling her over. The wreck righted for a few minutes, and the two middle-aged men aboard, George Boyce, the owner, ami John Phillips, the engineer, both of Port Monmouth, were rescued by a lifeboat from the steamer, wnlch then made several attempts to save what was left of their vessel, which sank with everything aboard.

The only thing which the men saved was, by an odd coincidence, a book of Pilot's Rules, which Phillips had In his hip pocket. The Monmouth had delivered in New York a fair shipload of returning weekenders from the North Jersey Coast resorts when the left her pier at West Forty-second Street at on her lant trip. The night was slightly hazy and the sea somewhat lumpy, when at 10:0. Just as she made the West Bank light and shaped her course to starboard for the southwest Spit by the Chapel Hill Range Lights, her bow lookout shouted, Motor boat ahead. No lights! Simultaneously terrified screams arose directly under the flier's rasor prow, and almost Instantly followed by the crash of the collision.

Four bells and a Jingle rang ont, Full speed astern' in the engine room, but the Monmouth ran more than a quarter of a mile before the combined power of her twin screw engines brought her to a standstill. She was in fact still forging slowly ahead when Lifeboat No. 3, under command of Hecond Officer David K. DanieJson, with (Quartermaster Jacob U. Jurgenson and three seamen, struck the water from its davits on the hurricane deck Just to starboard of the twin smokestacks, and the ship's log shows that it was Just 10:12 when the boat crossed the Monmouth's stern and sped away In the darkness.

Danlelson steered the boat to and fro, while Jurgenson and the sailors shouted. Presently their balls were answered by a faint: Here we are. Help! They only located the wreck by the raye of the West Bank Lighthouse, which suddenly fell full upon it. The men were huddled together in the ftern. Jurgenson helped thtm Into the boat the which all the time had been backing carefully down upon them, sighted xem and took them on at the after port Both were hardly able to stand, and the Chief Engineer sent them at once to the firerooms, where their clothes were dried In the furnace heat and stimulants were supplied.

When they had somewhat recovered the Captain of the Monmouth who, with his officers, at first feared there had been more than the twain on the Madeline, Interviewed them. Capt. Boyce told him that the Madeline, a 30-oot fishing and oyster sloop, recently converted into a power boat, waa the largest part of his possessions and his means of livelihood. He had crossed the harbor with some passengers and a cargo of clams, all of which he had landed at South Beach. After accumulating a mixed cargo of such commodities as they could obtain on Sunday, they had started for home under the protection of a white lantern on the DOW.

Capt. Boyce said he had Just Installed a new engine at a cost of 14. ana know ing that their course should not take them anywhere near the old Main Ship Channel, which the Sandy Hook filers still use. and believing they had the bay to themselves, as they saw nothing but the shore lights, they removed their lantern Into the hold to study the workings of the new motor. How they came to have run so fsr to the eaetwnra they could not explain, but tne first thing they knew they saw the glare of the Monmouth's navigation and cabin electrics in their eyes, and her rushing cutwater almot against their port side.

The Captain of the Monmouth grimly congratulated them, for he said it the Monmouth had struck the Madeline astern Instead of at the bow, she would have killed them both. The Monmouth made fast to the wreck. Intending to tow It slowly to shore, but the line had hardly drawn taut when the cleat and a section of scattered timbers broke away. and. seeing that the Made line waa full of water, the Monmouth went on.

and baymen to-day. scouring the scene of the accident, could find no trace of the Madeline. This la the first accident the Monmouth has had since she and J.

Quartermaster Jurgenson distinguished himself a couple of seasons ago by leaping overboard in full uniform from the Monmoutn at ner pier in rew xora ana saving after a hard fight a young man who was trying to drown himself.

On the third floor there will be a big banquet hall, and private dining rooms for small parties. The remaining twelve floors will be made into bachelor apartments to be leased by the year, completely furnished, with service If required. I expect that work will be commenced on the new building on aa posnlble-fter I return from Europe and I hope -that the restaurant will be open for the commencement of the Winter season of 1912.
