Message Detail:
John;
So far only able to find the following which is not pertinent to the wreck,...:
(Another note is Donald G. Shomette's Book "Shipwreaks on the Chesapeake" has her sinking on the 3rd of April.

If the following is the same vessel:
May 7, 1881
The schooner Mary S. Ewing, of Bridgeton, New Jersey,
bound from Newburgh, New York, to Cape May, New Jersey, with a
cargo of flagstones and a crew of four men and one passenger, stranded
on the south bar of Cold Spring Inlet, two and a quarter miles from
Station No. 39, Fo'urth District, (New Jersey.) She was discovered at
3 P. M. by a surfmau of the station, who mustered a crew (the station
not being manned at this season and went to the rescue in the surf-
boat, taking a five-inch hawser belonging to the station. With the aid
of this they worked the vessel off, and saved her and her cargo from
total loss.
