Annual Report of the Operations
of the United States Life-Saving Service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897:
The Anna Laura capsized during a gale and struck on a shoal 3 miles N.W of the Chicacomico Station at 6 p.m. on the 15th. The Keeper discovered it at daylight, and saw the two men wading ashore. Lifesavers went to their assistance and took the boat to a secure berth and the men to the station where they were furnished with dry clothing. Surfmen succeeded in saving the mail from the overturned boat, and on the 18th the two men left for Roanoke Island.
