FOUR MEN WENT ASTRAY

From Sch. Independence on the Banks July 4

SEARCH WAS UNSUCCESSFUL

Two Days Gale Followed Bank of Fog

Sadly the flag on the sch. Independence fluttered at half mast this morning, telling its own story of four

hardy fellows of her crew who had gone from her side and not returned - missing on the cold windy sea,

150 miles from the shore of Newfoundland.

Eagerly those on shore waited to hear the news from the crew as they came to land. And this is what they

heard, On July 4, the glorious Fourth, the crew left the vessel and rowed off in different direction to set the

trawls. Then the gray fog rolled silently in, enveloping all in its shadow. The horn was [?] going, and one

by one the dories guided by its hoarse, but welcome sound, came back to the vessel; all but two, and for

these followed days of eager, anxious waiting and watching and searching.

William McDonald and Charles Olsen were in one dory and Bert Dunbar and James Norton in the other.

It was in the afternoon when they strayed from the vessel and there were high hopes of picking them up

next day if the fog rolled away, but alas, when Saturday came it brought a heavy gale, which continued

until Monday.

The hope for the men is that they may have reached the coast of Newfoundland, 120 miles distant, or

been picked up by a passing vessel.

McDonald was a single man, about 34 years of age and boarded on Commercial Street [in Gloucester, MA.]

Charles Olsen was 42 years old, and has a wife and three children residing on Burnham Street

[Gloucester, MA.]

Norris Burton Dunbar, or Bert, as he was most commonly known, was about 38 [or 33] years old and

resided at [41?] East Main Street [Gloucester, MA.], with his wife and three children.

James Norton was about 45 years old and has a wife and three children residing at 55 East Main

Street [Gloucester, MA.]

Gloucester MA. Daily Times July 25, 1902

MISTOOK THE SOUND

Missing Men of Sch. Independence Rowed to Leeward.

Wainwright's Men Rowed to Windward and Reached Vessel.

No news has yet been heard from the four missing men from sch. Independence and although Capt. Cusick

has not yet given up hope, yet it is felt that something should soon be heard from them, provided they have

not been picked up and carried to some out of the way port, which is quite possible.

The story of how the men went astray, as told by the crew, shows how easy it is for fisherman to lose their

vessel in the fog. The crew went to set the trawls between their own schooner and the Richard Wainwright.

After the fog struck in the two dories met two from the Richard Wainwright, who were also astray.

Soon they heard the sound of the gun or cannon on the Independence. The later's men thought the sound

came from leeward while the stray mariner of the Wainwright were equally certain that it came from to windward.

The eight men discussed the point each party thinking it was right.

Finally the Independence men set the dory [?] and went off to leeward while the Wainwright's men rowed to

windward and after a while succeeding in making out a vessel which proved to be the Independence. They

[---------------------------------------------] search was made for the missing men who sailed to leeward but without success. Independence Text

e-mail from Linda (Sweeney) Bennett

I remember hearing from my mother that our grandmother's brother John was 7 feet tall. And when he became ill in the US, he went home to Ireland to die and be buried there. I, also, remember hearing from my mother that on the night your grandfather Olson was lost at sea, our grandmother Annie had a vision of him in her bedroom while she was in bed. She knew it couldn't possibly have been him, because he was at sea. But, according to the story, when she awoke in the morning, there was a puddle of water on the floor of her bedroom in the exact spot where her husband appeared to her the night before. I don't know if I believe this, but this is something that was passed down through the Sweeney family. Have you heard this story before?
