Talk about a sea of rigging and giant toothpicks too!

Six Perish in Shipwreck

Captain the Only Survivor of Foundered Schooner.

Tampa, Fla., June 13 — The schooner Thomas S. Dennison, Capt. Wade, arrived at Port Tampa late this afternoon, having on board A. Phinney, master and sole survivor of the crew of the three-masted schooner Emma L. Cottingham, of New Bedford Mass., which sank last Sunday morning 135 miles west-southwest of Egmont Key, Fla. Six men composing the crew of the Cottingham, were lost.

A heavy gale struck the Cottingham Saturday night, and she sprang a leak. The power pump refused to work, and the vessel filled rapidly, going down early Sunday morning. Capt. Phinney clung to the shattered lifeboat and saw only one member of his crew afloat. This man swam to the lifeboat, but was washed off by a heavy sea. From 6:15 in the morning until 11 o'clock the same morning, Capt. Phinney clung to the wreckage, when the schooner Dennison picked him up.

The log and all records were loast, and Capt. Phinney can remember the names of only three of his crew — Mate Hiley, of Mobile; Brown, the negro cook, Mobile, and Nelson, a seaman from Jamaica.

The rescue of the captain was attended with great danger, and Capt. Wade and the men of the Dennison risked their lives in saving his.

Cuban mahogany off to the cabinet-makers of world. Back when there was still plenty of the old growth behemoths growing on the beautiful island.

The loading hatches in the ship's bows are nifty.
