| NATURE OF CASUALTY | ||
| The sealing schooner Kate and Annie [sic] was wrecked in Cuyler's Harbor on San Miguel Island, the 9th instant. The schooner had put into the harbor to get out of a bad northwest blow. The anchor chain parted, the vessel was driven onto the beach. Captain Lutjens [sic] and the crew, six men all told, reached shore in safety by swimming through the breakers, but lost everything. The Kate and Annie filled with sand and was going to pieces when the schooner Restless sailed yesterday. She was a 30 ton boat, home port San Francisco, Lutjens owner. Her loss is over $3000. The Kate and Annie was one of the best known boats in southern waters and had an interesting history. Los Angeles Times 17 April 1902 | ||
