WRECK' STILL UNKNOWN'
F. J. Binqham. First to Go to
Aid of North Star. Tells
Details of It.
F. J. Ulnghnni, head of tho South
Inlet Excelsior factory, who wns ono
of tho first to try to go to tho rescue
of the launch North Stnr when It
was carried out over tho bar Satur
day night, wns In Mnrshfleld todny.
His visit was to assist In tho cam
paign that litis been started to secure
tho removnl of tho Ufa Bavlng station
from Ub present site to Charleston,
near Coos Head. Ho says that eve
rybody who 1b familiar with tho bar
at nil knows that tho life saving sta
tion should bo removed and declares
thnt tho North Star disaster is but
an Illustration of tho danger In al
lowing further delay in moving it.
This afternoon, Mr. Ulnghnm be
gan tho circulation of potltions to so-
euro tho removal of tho station and
ovorybody Is signing them.
Mr. Bingham in discussing tho
accident todny Bnld:
"Tho first indication that the
North Star was in troublo was evi
denced when sho was near Buoy No.
1. This is about three-quarters of a
mllo abovo tho mouth of tho Bay and
tho real dnngor point. Mrs. Yonkor,
who always kept watch for hor hus
band's return, especially when tho
tide was ebbing, henrd tho distress
whlstlo about 5 o'clock. Through a
strong glass, sho was ablo to seo
them plainly. Sho snw them cast
tho anchor but apparently it did not
hold. Then sho saw thorn splice tho
lino. Then she fully realized the
danger that thoy woro in and im
mediately sont their llttlo son to no
tify hor brother, Robert Nyman,
who worked nt tho factory with mo,
to go to tholr rescuo. Just aB soon
as tho lad reached us, wo closed
down tho plnnt nnd' started in our
launch, tho Pilot.
"As wo pnsscd tho island, wo cnll
cd to tho crow of tho Mayflower and
thoy followed ub. Wo wont down
and went out as far as tho boll buoy
but could seo nothing. Wo then re
turned nnd mot tho Mayflower. They
agreed that tho only thing to do was
to leave n couple of men on tho
Charleston Sand Spit to nld in case
any of tho men had survived nnd
woro trying to got ashore.
"Wymnn Allco nlso wltnosso tho
dlsnstor whllo lighting tho harbor
lights. Ho said thnt wo woro pos
sibly five minutes too Into to bo of
service to them.
"After wo had returned, wo mot
tho life saving crow Just coming
down to go to tho rescue of tho men.
"Wymnn Allieo says that four of
the men on the North Stnr Jumped
Just boforo tho crnft capsized and
two remained on her. Tho lookout
nt tho Llfo Saving Station says that
none of thorn Jumped. Young Albco
is certain thnt ho snw them Jump,
howovor.
"Tho tldo continued to ebb for
nbout three hours after tho accldont
occurred. It wiih an unusunlly
strong obb. If tho life saving sta
tion had been located nt Charleston,
thoro is not the slightest doubt in
my mind hut that tho North Stnr
or nil aboard her could hnvo been
snved."
Identity of Stranger Lost on
North Star Has Not Been
Established.
Who wns tho sixth victim of the
North Star disaster?
This la tho question thnt is the
puzzling feature of tho tragedy to
day. Several thought that they
knew but investigation of each clue
has shown that the person who was
feared to have been tho unknown vic
tim wns at other points and escaped,
ed.
So far, only a fairly accurate do
Bcrlptlon of tho man has been ob
tnlned. T. II. Barry who went from
Mnrshfleld to Empiro on tho North
Star and MIsb WIckman of Empiro
havo furnished them. Both ngrco
fairly well.
Ho was a man of nppnrcntly 30 or
3C years old, good looking, woro a
moustncho, had ruddy, reddish face
and of averago physique. WaB dress
ed as working mnn, wearing logger's
boots.
Miss WIckman thought that ho had
a heavy dark moustacho but Mr. Bar
ry believes his moiiBtncho was rather
light. Mr. Barry says his hands wero
whlto and soft, Indicating that ho
had not been working recently. Mr.
Barry overheard somo remarks that
lead him to bollovo thnt tho stranger
had been Injured In nn accident nnd
had recently loft tho hospital.
This led to a supposition that ha
might bo Louis Molassl, an Italian,
who hnd boon receiving treatment at
Mercy hospital and who expected to
leave North Bond Saturday for tho
Smith-Powers camp on South Inlet.
Howovor, a mnn named Motcnlf who
enmo up from the South Inlet enmp
todny stated thnt it was not Molnssl.
Shorman Rogors, n logger at tho
Contrnl hotel, thought at first It was
his brother, J. II. Rogers. Howovor,
tho latter was smooth shaven nnd
did not nnswor tho description and
ho also discovered that J. II. Rogers
loft for Myrtlo Point Snturdny to
visit relatives by tho name of Moore.
Dr. Bnrtlo nnd othors nt North
Bend nt first thought it might bo n
young mnn nnmed Finnoll who hnd
boon working nt tho foundry thoro
nnd who had planned to loavo Snt
urdny nftornoon for n hunting trip
to South Inlot. Ah ho did not hnvo
a moustacho, it is not bnlloved thnt
It was ho.
It Is posslblo that his Identity may
nevor bo ascertained.

Uralnnrd married Abblo Elliott, a
daughter of Milton Elliott of South
Inlet, nnd is survived by his wlfo and
four smnll children.
Usually Went Overland.
Ira Albeo, tho South Inlet forry
mnn, nearly nlwnys drove to aud
from Mnrshflold. It Is stated that
Saturday's trip wns tho II rut ono he
hnd started by launch in n long time.
Tho heavy rains nnd muddy ronds
nro presumed to hnvo been tho enuso
of his taking tho launch instead of
mnklug tho trip overland.
Mr. Albeo's wlfo, who was n
daughter of tho lato Capt. Wymnn,
former keeper of tho Capo Arngo
Light house, died about a year ago.
Ho is survived by a son who Is about

Mrs. Joo. Yonkor was among tho
first to hear tho distress whlstlo
from tho North Star No. l. Sho was
watching for tho return of tho bout.
Through a strong glass, she was able
to illscom tholr danger and Imme
diately sont word to Supt. Blnghnm
of tho South Inlet oxcelslor factory
nnd to John Wasson of tho Mny
flowor who was near tho Islnnd.
Tho Yonkors homo Is nt Scott's
