Annual Report of the Operations
of the United States Life-Saving Service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896:
The Allie B. Cathrall stranded at
night in thick and stormy weather at False Cape, North Carolina. A night
patrolman discovered her shortly afterwards, showed his Coston signal and gave
the alarm at station. A start was immediately made for a wreck with beach
apparatus. Communication was established with the first shot and the crew of
six men was soon safely landed in the breeches buoy. Gave them shelter and
succor at the station until the 19th, while unloading her cargo of lumber. The
vessel was a total loss.
