SIX BELIEVE DROWNED—No Hope for Crew of Brunswick Tug.

            Brunswick, Ga., January 6—Hope for the safety of any of the six members of the crew of the tug Rambler, wrecked off Cumberland island near here Monday during a heavy sea, were abandoned tonight.
            The bodies of the two negro crew members were found on the beach today, together with portions of the clothing of the four white men.  Wreckage was strewn for two miles along the coast.
            The Rambler was wrecked after going aground and while the crew was waiting for high tide to float the vessel.
            The missing and dead include Harry Ingram, captain; Carlos U. Dart, engineer; George Bell, fireman; Charles Segui, fisherman; Henry Roberts, negro deck hand, and Dave Smith, negro cook.

SIX PERISH WHEN TUG IS BEATEN TO PIECES—TUG RAMBLER IS WRECKED OFF CUMBERLAND ISLAND AND CREW LOST—TWO BODIES RECOVERED

            MACON, Ga., Jan. 6.—Six men were lost off Little Cumberland Monday night, when the tug Rambler was wrecked, every one of the crew losing their lives.  News of the wreck developed today with the finding of two bodies.  The dead:
            Harry Ingram, captain.
            Carlos U. Dart, engineer.
            George Bell, fireman.
            Charles Segui, fisherman.
            Henry Roberts, negro deck hand.
            Dave Smith, negro cook.
            The Rambler left Brunswick Monday morning at 7 o’clock.  About 11 o’clock the tug went ashore just one-half mile off Little Cumberland beach.  The boat was half filled with water and members of the crew went ashore in a small boat, secured buckets and bailed out their boat.  A passing launch went to their assistance, but when she arrived all six members of the crew were on the top of the cabin house, laughing and joking, not realizing the danger they were in.  The launch offered assistance, but Captain Ingram stated his tug would be successfully floated with high water.
            However, when the tide began to flood a strong northeast wind arose and it is believed before the Rambler could be floated she was crushed to pieces by the heavy sea which was reported to be rolling high.  Searchers left Brunswick during Tuesday and this morning on the beach at Little Cumberland the bodies of the two negroes were found.  What became of the white men is unknown, except parts of their clothing were found on the beach.  Wreckage was strewn for miles along the coast.

RAMBLER HAD NO LIFE RAFT AT TIME OF WRECK—Old One Had Been Condemned at Brunswick—REMOVED, NOT REPLACED—Steamboat Inspectors Arrive at Brunswick to Investigate the Disaster Which Cost Lives of Six Men on Coast of Little Cumberland Island.

            BRUNSWICK, Jan. 9.—W.B. Lee and E.G. Fitzgerald, steamboat inspectors of this district, with headquarters in Savannah, arrived in the city today for the purpose of making an investigation into the wreck of the little tug Rambler a few days ago, in which the lives of six persons were lost.  Strange to relate, these inspectors were in Brunswick Tuesday for the purpose of inspecting the Rambler and they were awaiting her return to port when the news was received that she had been wrecked and that the entire crew had been lost.
            On a recent inspection of the Rambler the inspectors condemned the life raft which had been carried by the tug.  It was removed and placed on her wharf but was not replaced, and it is now pointed out that had the tug carried a proper life raft probably the lives of all six men would have been saved.  It was not discovered that the raft was not aboard until an investigation was made, and at first it was thought that the crew had not been drowned, but that they were adrift somewhere on the raft.
            BODIES STILL MISSING—The bodies of Capt. Harry Ingram, Engineer Charles Dart, and George Bell and Charles Segui, the four white men on the tug, have not yet been recovered, although searching parties have been out every day since the wreck and have patrolled the beach along Little Cumberland in the hope that the bodies would be washed ashore.  Only the bodies of the two negro members of the crew have been recovered.
            This unfortunate accident has cast a shadow of gloom over the entire city, owing to the popularity of some of the unfortunate men lost.  Captain Ingram and Engineer Dart, who were the owners of the Rambler, were well known in Brunswick, having resided here practically all of their lives.  They were both married and leave a wife and two or three children each.  They were considered two of the most capable sea faring men engaged in marine work around these waters, and for that reason hope for their safety was held out to the very last.

PROMINENT MAN PASSES AWAY—MR. MOSES ISAAC DIED AT AN EARLY HOUR YESTERDAY MORNING—HAD BEEN ILL FOR SOME TIME AND HIS DEATH WAS NOT A SURPRISE.

            Brunswick was saddened yesterday morning by the news of the death of Mr. Moses Isaac, one of her most prominent and highly valued citizens.
            For over a year, Mr. Isaac’s health has been failing and, although all that human ingenuity could suggest was done to ward off the sad result, it availed not.
            Specialists were consulted in the north as well as in the south and accompanied by his devoted wife, Mr. Isaac traveled from one place to another for a year, seeking restoration to health, but the disease was too deeply seated and its eradication was impossible.
            Had it not been for careful nursing, watchful attendance and the indefatigable perseverance in treatment, the sufferer would have succumbed long ago to the disease. But love and faith and hope were his best physicians and for many months he lingered among his dear ones, teaching them by his patient endurance to bear the sorrow which overshadowed them then and must fall ere long to darken for many days to brightness of their hitherto happy lives.
            Mr. Isaac was born in Pfungstadt, Germany in 1842 and came to America at the age of sixteen, making his home in Thomasville(?) [illegible words] came identified with the interests of the south.
            When the war broke out, he shouldered his musket and marched away to fight or to die for the land of his adoption. After the war, he resumed his residence in Thomasville and on March 7, 1875 was married to Miss Emma Kahn, of New York. Three children, Mr. Walter B. Isaac, Miss Carrie Norah Isaac and Mr. Julian Isaac were born during their residence in Thomasville. In 1888 the family removed to Brunswick, where Mr. Isaac took his place in the foremost ranks of progressive, public-spirited men; and his interests in our city and his active work for her welfare is too well known to be remarked on. Mr. Isaac has held various official positions in the city and as a member of the board of education and county commissioners. He was always active in every movement that was for the good of Brunswick and her citizens.
            His loss will be sadly felt in the community, for there is always regret over the death of a good man, and, as a good man, he was truly known in every sense of the word. A loyal citizen, an honest, upright business man and above all a devoted husband, father and brother. Grief reigns today in the hearts of those that loved him and sympathetic friends grieve with them. But the world is better off for his having lived in it and this may be truly be [sic] a great consolation. For there is no nobler existence than to live your own life so well as to influence the lives around you and uplift them to higher things.
            “His life was gentle; and the elements so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up and say to all the world: ‘This was a man’.”

            Funeral services will be held at the residence on Union street this afternoon at 4 o’clock, Rev. David Marx, of Atlanta, officiating. The body will be sent to New York for burial. The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: Messrs. M. Kaiser, J.H. McCullough, C.P. Goodyear, C.L. Candler, A.L. Franklin, A. Fendig, R.R. Hopkins and Constant Miller.
