Disastrous Van Name and King wreck survivors rescued at sea
Special to The Washington Post from Boston reports two crew members were rescued after the three masted schooner Van Name and King of New Haven went to pieces off Cape Hatteras on October 7. Seven others perished from exposure and hunger while drifting on wreckage for days. Surviving crewmembers Willam E Warner and William Thomas, both Antigua natives, were saved by the schooner Stillman off Cape Hatteras. The wreck carried Captain William H Maxwell of New Jersey, Mate E A Chase, an engineer, a colored steward, and seamen William Grissel and Alfred Arthur. The vessel departed Charleston for New York with a lumber cargo when storm damage forced abandonment and the ship eventually capsized. The rescue occurred in the Gulf Stream area near latitude 31.0, longitude 75.6, after four days at sea.
