Vessel Rickets V. C. Goes Ashore Off Petit Bois Island
Captain William Evans and a twelve man crew aboard the schooner Rickets V. C. were rescued after the vessel ran aground in quicksand off Petit Bois island and broke up. The ship, sailing from Port au Prince Haiti to Mobile to load lumber for Van Heynigen and Company, had lost course en route to Mobile and drifted ashore, prompting salvage work as crews strip the wreck. The light keeper at Petit Bois sighted distress signals and aided the rescue, with later reports filed in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
