  Notes	The Harbor Grace Standard January 27, 1928 YOUTHFUL SKIPPER SUFFERED FROST BITE By the Trepassey train yesterday afternoon Austen CAREW, captain of the schooner Letty B., which was abandoned off Cape Pine Saturday morning last, arrived in town to enter the General Hospital for treatment for two frostbitten feet. He wasccompanied to town by Mr. P.J. CASHIN, representative of district of Ferryland, to which district CAREW belongs, and was met at the railways station here by Mr. P.F. MOORE the other district representative. A little later in the afternoon the Daily News obtained the following information from Mr. CAREW at the hospital Tuesday morning, January 27th, at 11:30 a.m. Austen CAREW, age 23 years, Stephen YARD, age 22, and James CAREW, age 20 left St. John’s in the schooner Letty B. for Cape Broyle. The wind came up from the southeast and at 8:30 o’clock that night the schooner was off Petty Harbor Motion. The wind was so high that they had to run up shore and about 3 ½ miles off the land. The wind veered to the south south east and the weather became very thick. By 11 o’clock that night the jib was carried away, bowsprit broken and mainsail split. Wednesday the schooner lay to with the wind from the south and position probably off Cape Ballard. Thursday was spend looking for land. A squall came up from the northeast and during a lull Cape Race was sighted. Friday the schooner ran in for land again and just before a shut down of thick snow Cape Race was again sighted. She lay to under double reefed foresail with the wind blowing hard. Saturday morning at daylight the crew as usual tried the pumps, but the schooner was not making any water. Fifteen minutes after water could be heard in the hold swishing backwards and forwards. The pumps were kept going for two hours, but they could not gain on the inflow of water. It was then seen that the schooner was starting to fill. The dory was made ready and before the schooner was abandoned the water was over the top bunks. This was eight o’clock Saturday morning. The crew of three rowed from 8 o’clock to 1 o’clock before Cape Pine was sighted, their course being north west by north. When the dory arrived; in Trepassey at 8 p.m. after 12 hours rowing, it was half full of water. Captain Austen CAREE during that twelve hours got both his big toes frostbitten. Yesterday afternoon he was free of the severe pain. The schooner was owned by Mrs. Ernest CAREW, of Cape Broyle, and it could not be leaned if any insurance was carried.
