Cleveland, O., Jnly 10.— The schoon
er yacht Idler was lost in a terrific
storm 16 miles off this port this after
noon, with six persons, all members or
the family of James Corrigan, wealthy
vessel-owner o( this ettv.
Mrs. John Corrigan was the only
passenger aboard who was saved. C.
II. Holmes, the captain; Samnel Big-
gam, the mate; (our sailors, two cooks
aud the ship’s carpenter were also
saved. The yacht left Port Huron yes
terday with the family of Mr Corrigan
aboard and started to Clexeluud. Mr.
Corrigan was ill, and left by the train.
At 2 o’clock the storm came np. and
inside of five minutes the yacht ssuk.
A ll the women, except Mrs. John Cor
rigan and Miss Etta Corrigan, were in
the cabiu when the gale came np. ,
They became panic stricken, ami re
fused to leave the place. The men im
plored them to come to the deck, but
they refused.
Mrs. John Corrigan
clung to a cork sofa when the gale
came, aud was saved. When rescued,
lliggain said:
“ It was about 2:05 when the squall
struck us. The yacht laid down on hqr
beam ends, and the water rushed
through the deadlights ami companion-
ways, Hnd in tlwee minutes she sank.
Mrs. James Cbrrigan, Miss Ida Corri
gan, Miss Jaue Corrigan, Mrs. Charles
Reilly aud the infant daughter of Mrs.
Reilly were all in the saloon below
when the storm came on us. Captaiu
Holmes gave me orders to take in sail,
and l transmitted the order to the men.
They obeyed quickly.
The captain,
myself and the crew made efforts to
save the women, bnt without success.
We told them the yacht was sinking,'
but they could not or would not come
on deck.
1 waded into the saloon
when the water was np to my neck,
but Mrs. James Corrigan wonld not
come out. She may have been rendered
incapable of action by fear aud knowl
edge ol the impending doom.
An
effort was made to take the infant
daughter of Mrs. Reilly out, but Mrs.
Reilly would not let the child go.
“ It was realized that nothing ..could
be done to save those in the cabin, aud
attention was turned SO saving those oar
deck. The latter, outside of the cap
tain, mate amUcrew, were Mrs. John
Corrigan aud her daughter, Mies Etta
Coirigau. The captain and the crew
tried to get Mrs. Corrigan nnd her
daughter np on the cross-trees in the
rigging, but the heavy sea washed
them all overboard.
" F o r God’s sake, Mrs. Corrigan, you
and your daughter keep a tight, hold on
the riggiug,” we called to them.
“ Flven as we yelled the sea swept them
and us overlioard.
Fortunately, Mrs.
Corrigan had succeeded in taking hold
of a cork lounge. Bhe olung to it and
was saved.”
Aocording to the testimony of several
sailors, the topsail, mainsail and jih
were all set when the storm oame up.
This is denied by lliggam, who declares
that they were in good condition to
face the storm. Captain James Corri
gan declared tonight that good sea
manship ccnld have averted
the
tragedy. II* is almost frensied with
grief. Tho Idler was a staunch schoon
er yacht, which Captain Corrigan re
cently porchaaed from John Cndahy, of
Chicago. The survivors of the wreck
were picked up by tugs a few minutes
after the aocident aud brought into
this port.
