'at Wrightsvllle Beach .Yesterday
Evening Mrs. JacksohVParty. .
, Drifting 'out into the open sea In a
small boat without power of propulsion
as the darkness of night was approach
ing, was . the - frightful , sensation .that
came to Mr. John S.- McEachern, the
well' known young naval store factor,
at Wrightsvllle Beach yesterday even
ing about 7 o'clock, , Hisnimely res
cues by Mr, W. J Moore, proprietor
,lhe Hotel Tarrymoore; and party of
guests, including Mrs. Stonewall Jack
son, Mr. W.E. Christian and others,
of Atlanta, who happened to be in a
larger boat f6r "a pleasure sail around
Lthe Sound, was altogether providential.
- Mr, McEachern was cruising around
in the Sound late yesterday afternoon
in, a small deadrise skiff , in which a
gasolene engine had been installed as
a motive power: . 'Near the ' mouth of
Moore's Inlet, the engine became dis
abled and while. Mr.' McEachern v was
working with it, the skiff drifted out
the inlet and -was being sWept straight
out to sea; Mr. McEachern. realized
his danger' when It was almost too late
and as the tiny" craft' was, being bOrhe
by the rolliag waves' further andVfurth
er to sea, , he shouted and signalled
frantically to the shore for assistance.
It came just in the nick of time for
the young man's danger was observed
by the party in Mr. V Moore's , larger
.boat, which was put quickly to the
rescue. They reached Mr. McEachern
as he was some distance out and. as
he had about ; decided, to jump over
board and try as best he could to swim
ashore. The party cf . ladles In nhe
boat Including , Mrs. Jackson,; Miss
Christian; Miss Morrison and others
were drenched with- the breaking of
the ? waves over their; own boat, but
they all heroically remained calm and
Mr. McEachern and his disabled craft
were; towed - safely in. "
