Aground off Nantucket

The six-master Edward J. Lawrence and the five-master Fuller Palmer were hauled from a dangerous shoal in Nantucket sound late Sunday night by the revenue cutter Acushnet. The Lawrence was bound from Baltimore to Portland and the Fuller Palmer from Newport News to Boston. Both ran ashore Sunday during thick weather on a couple of shoal lumps in the channel, half way between Cape Pogue and Cross Rip lightship. The steamer Gay Head sighted them and notified the Acushnet which proceeded at once to their assistance. Neither sustained any injury.
