She was disabled by the loss of her fore yard and centerboard in a SW gale and missed her stays as she tried to make shelter. She drove ashore and was pounded to pieces. She had on board as deck cargo 4 U.S. Govt. lifeboats, and one of these was used by her crew to save themselves (see also TRADE WIND). Days later the shoreline was awash in apples. Sources: Swayze,
