SCHOONERS CREW RESCUED AT SEA
The New York Times, March 3, 1901, Sunday

PHILADELPHIA. March 2.
The German ( Dutch !! , AAV ) tank steamer "Bremerhaven", arrived here today from Rotterdam, having on board  Capt. Joseph Teckwith and crew of ten men of the American schooner "George W. Bailey", from Bal-timore to Bahia, Brazil.
Capt. Ninnes of the "Bremerhaven" said that he picked up the crew of the "Bailey" about 200 miles north-west of Sable Island. The "Bailey" sailed from Baltimore on Jan. 29, and almost immediately met heavy northwest gales. Her rudder was carried away and the vessel sprang a leak. She drifted for fourteen days, and the "Bremerhaven" came to her assistance just as provisions had given out.
