December lo Considerable anxiety is expressed by the oystermen of Hempstead harbor and the town authorities as to the outcome of the probable suit between the State of New York and the Towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay to deter mine the ownership of the lands under the water of the harbor.

Fish and Game Commission of the State of New York that application had been made to the state for a franchise to plant oysters ou the lands under water off Smith's Point a northeasterly projection from the Town of North Hempstead.

Commissioner B. Frank Wood, after con sultation with the other members of the For est. Fish and Game Commission, took steps iu ue iuuiae iu me ngnLs oi me state to this land and for this purpose notified the town authorities of the application and requested them to state their claim of ownership to the land in question.

RESCUED BY LIFE SAVERS Ploren.ce Jones, a Guest of the Owner, Lowered Over the Side Cap tain Matthews Tells His Story. (Special to the Eagle.) Southold, L. December 10 The schooner yacht Rosina owned by Harry T.

Malpass of Philadelphia, is a wreck half a cable's length off the rocks on the Sound shore directly north of this village. Her captain, A. L. Matthews, her crew of three men her owner, Mr. Malpass, and Miss Florence Jones, a guest of the owner, were all safely taken off by the life saving crew from the Rocky Point Life Saving Station, which is seven miles to the eastward of the point where the yacht was wrecked.

The schooner laboring in the heavy gale, was sighted by Joseph H. Thompson from his residence yesterday evening and Immediately went to the village telephone oitice and sent a message to the Rocky r'oint Life Saving Station, at East Marion, stating the vessel's condition and asking that a boat be manned and sent to her relief at once. At 11 o'clock a boat and crew arrived off here on a large truck, drawn by horses. The boat was launched and put oft' to the vessel, which was anchored about half a mile off shore. A heavy gale was blowing from the northwest and the life savers experienced much difficulty in reaching her.

Ihe schooner was too lar out for the gun to he of use, so it was determined to use the surfboat. It took an hour to reach the vessel, and it was with great difficulty that the boat could be brought alongside close enough to transfer the yacht's crew. A line was passed and along this the men made their way. The woman had to be lowered over ine side of the schooner. All were taken to the farm house of Mr.

Thomas in au exhausted condition. The men went to Greenport and telegraphed to the Thomas A. Scott Wrecking Company of New London, for a tug, but none came over on account of the high sea. If one arrives to day it will be too late to save the Rosina. Durine vesterdav and last night the vessel draeaed from her moorings over a mile to the eastward and she cam within a cable's lencth of the shore.

The sefcecner could not withstand the gaie and is high and dry on the beach this morning. The yacht's company consisted of the owner. H. T. Melpost of Atlantic City, X.

Florence Jones. Caotaln A. L. Mathews, Mate Georee Junes and Walter Stiles, steward. The unfortunate seasoers were taken to the home of Daniel N.

Thomas, where they are properly quartered. It was the Rosina's maiden trip. She was launched on December 1 at Lynn, and it was the owner's intention to have her fitted out at Atlantic City for a long cruise in Florida waters. Though without a full crew, Captain A. L.

Matthews thought he could make out until he reached Atlantic City, and he set sail a week ago yesterday. "The Rosina had wretched weather from the start," said Captain Matthews arter the rescued party had been mode comfortable In the cozy home of Farmer H. Thomas, near here. "When near Martha's Vineyard last Wednesday we rau Into roiiiUi weather and hijfh winds. Our small boats were carried away and the yacht's upper works badly damaged.

I attempted to make an anchorage in Vineyard Sound, but the starboard cable parted and the yacht lost her great anchor. "We made temporary repairs at Wood's Holl and lert that port on Saturday after Loon and good progress until nbout 2 o'clock Sunday morning, when the wind shifted to the northwest and blew a heavy gale find our steering gear gave way. There was no repairing it in such a gale, though my mate. George Jones, made a gallant attempt to do it. We saw the Long Island lights a'jd lot go the little anchor and after dragging ftwhile it held and we set signals of distress end waited for the assistance I knew would purely come, for I know Captain Brown of the Koclty Point station and I that he would make a desperate effort to reach us.

He got us off and you know the rest." TEMPERANCE WORK. Freeport, L. December 10 Miss Cora Scabury, state superintendent of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, put in a busy day here yesterday. In the morning at the Methodist Church, she made on interesting address and at a union Sunday school meeting in the afternoon at the Methodist school, talked on "Temperance," and in the evening at llio Presbyterian Church, she also spoke.v Large congrogatlons greeted her at each service.
