Crisfield. Md.. Oct. 19. ? When -the
schooner George '\V. Collier was
wrecked lata frlda^ morning and
turned turtle, James O'Dobnel, one
of the crew, was caught In the fore
peak.
He was rescued IS hours* later,
weak from hv.nset f.nd exposure, but
his life had been saved by bel^T In

the boat only a few feet from their
companion. ! ? ?
The wrecking of the George Collier
too* T^ac-e near the Shark Fin light.
The boat was in charge of Captain
Modle Webster, who was returning
from Baltimore, bound for Deal Is
land, where all" hands made tlrelr
headquarters.-* Six men were aboard.
-* A high sea was* on and all the way
down tho bay the boat battled with
huge rollers. When near Shark Fin
light the gale was at its highest.
Heavy cross seas made the handling
of the boat difficult. It was grow
ing dark and the air was raw.,
Suddenly a big wave hit the schoon
er broadside. She rolled heavily and
before she had time to recover an
other roller sent her over.
O'Donnell was below and did not
have time to get out. The other men
and Captain Webster leaped Into the
water. ? One ? by one ? I hoy ? jjjWWWli
hand holds on the boat. Then they
had a roll call.
O'Donnell was missing and his
companions agreed that he had been
swept away in the darkness. All that
night the Ave men hung to the 4>oat.
half frozen. Just before morning
broke the steamship Virginia of the
Chesapeake and Atlantic Line came
along. Theories of the shipwrecked
ifien wore heard and a searchlight
soon located the five on the craft.
Captain Edward Johnson sent out
a boat's crew to pick them up. The
w reek' "by this time had drifted close
?to ? the ? Shark Fin Ughu Captain
Webster and hla men were put ashore
at Deals Island and In a few hours
had recovered from their experience.
In the meantime O'Donnell was a
prisoner In the wreck. When the
boat turned turtle there was an in
"TllHIl of walir: ? wh.ii li WWfl him far
friiYBPflti Here if Mnnnpfl
and the seamen. found that while his
body was submerged in the chilly
water his head and shoulders were in
a sort of chamber. The air was
heavy and breathing was difficult.
O'Donnell quickly feallzed what
had happened. When the Collier
went over, a large body" of nrtr had
been taught Inside the hull. It form
ed a compressed air chsmbar wiilih
not only was to keep him alive but
also serve to hold up the schooner.
There was one danger ? a leak In
the hull through which the p?$cioua
air might escape. This would permit
the water to advance ln^h by Inch
and he would die ltke a drowning
rat. In the black hole the sailor had
no way of telling whether auch a leak
existed and for two -hours-he "was in
?guny. ? Thin whvii ms waiir fcvyl mt
the same height he knew that the
planking held him Arm and he stood
a chance of getting off.
The Hour* passed. He did not know
when muiulug B? { aud did uut
know that hla comrades had been
^ rescued. He believed that the hull
* was drifting Somewhere near Deal
Island and in lime It would be picked
up. He made up hla mind to stick it
out as long as possible. ^
Now only starvation and cold could
kill htm and he did not fear these
much.
Captain Webster, his strength re
newed, gsfhwred tognther BfiToral Qt
his men and started out to see what
could be done with his craft.
Tfils was about noon Saturday, and
O'Donnell had been a prisoner for
fully eighteen hours. The craft was
towed Into a- shipyard and after con
siderable eflort was turned over. To
the amssement of the men O'Don

a few hot drinks wsra poured Into his

DOUBT ABOUT
JBALOON RECORD
I
| The Aeronauts' Claims for Long
, v Distance Are
Disputed.
Union, S. C. ?rt. lR. ? The claim
that A. IS. Lambert and S. l.ouls von
PhUl. iwmteis uf ll'.e lYoro Club oz.
St. Louts, established new world's
records for long distance and speed
in aeronautics, when, ascending in
their balloon in St. Louis. Mo., on
Friday afteruoon of labt week at 3:30
county, near Charleston, S. C.. on
Saturday morning at & o'clock,, hav
ing* made an average speed of I I
miles an hour, is challenged by par
ties here who have records showing
.that higher speed then this was, aj^
Jalned in n balloon voyage made -is
1 years ago.
The aeronautic fer,t r??f*rr<*d to was
that of Prof. T. S. C. Lowe, mow head'
of Lowe observatory, n^pr Pasadena.
Cal., who, on April 20. yL61. ascend
, oU in-a ballooii at Cincinnati, Ohio, ?*t
3:30 a m and jlL l?:2ti-p. m..a? the
sa.me day landed at Pea Kidge in this
A-ounty. - Although iiv iho ft in only ft
hours. Prot. Lowe rovered an air line
distance olivet 50d miles, - not in
cluding several hundred miles addi
tional caused by his balloon being
caught in an air. current and parried
ir.to Virginia, thence to the South
Cfcfollna sea coast, before reaching
his landing place near here.
Prof. I/Owe's balloon voyage was
not ortjy an eventful one because it
set a pace in aeronautics for distance
traveled per honr-not equaled, but
because, being at the outbreak of the
civil war when sectional feeling was
at high pitch, when he descended
with his balloon in the rural section
of this country, he was regnrded by
some persons as being a "Yankee
spy." and but for the action of cool
e^*S^ad8, might have mot with bodily
injurk^ _
HIh t^renf nmnng these rmintry
people, many of Whom never saw a
balloon before, caused excitement
and amusing incidents, which are re
called by qlder residents.
