Metis Disaster Scenes Told From Survivor Accounts
Survivors describe a harrowing Metis wreck with women and men crying for help as night darkness and roaring waves hampered rescue. Lifebelts used, life-boats crowded, the vessel sank after forty minutes leaving a crowded hurricane deck, seven horses and cargo at the bottom. Four hours without hope, waves washing survivors toward shore five miles away, with the Moccasin cutter and many boats aiding in rescues.

Passenger recalls Metis wreck and five hours adrift
Brattleboro travel agent Elmer Mason describes surviving the Metis disaster after clinging to a cork mattress and spending about five hours in the water before being picked up by the cutter Moccasin.
