The Larchmont Disaster

Long Island Sound was the scene of a terrible tragedy of the sea, February 12, when the schooner Knowlton crashed into the steamer Larchmont, both sinking at once. Of the two hundred passengers and crews only about twenty were saved, many of the passengers of the Larchmont meeting death in their berths. A freezing gale was blowing, and all the bodies which washed ashore, and many brought in in boats, were incased in ice. No one is able to give the exact cause of the disaster.
