NUMBERHO
MANY SAILORS
LOSEJHEIR LIVES
Forty Peiisli by Capsizing of
a Crowded Baip.
GEORCIAN AMONG NUMBER
Large Barge Filled With Jackies Re
turning to the Battleship New
Hampshire From Shore Leave Cap
sized in New York Harbor.
There was given out from the bat
tleship New Hampshire Sunday a list
erf tv/enty-nine men who were suppos
ed to have perished by the swamping
cf a barge or whaleboat which was be
ing lowed to the vessel at anchor in
the Hudson river Saturday night. Ap
pended to the list are the names of
eleven men who are still absent, but
who were not recognized as having
been in the swamped boat
The generally accepted version of
the cause of the catastrophe was that
the barge, heavily loaded with sailors
and marines, returning from shore
leave, was tow^ed into the heavy swells
of a passing steamboat. Rising for
a nioment, like a cork, the barge then
plunged into the trough between two
waves, one of which broke over the
side and swamped it.
Instantly the choppy water became
dotted with struggling, shouting men,
intermingled with Aerating packages,
suitcases and personal belongings
lliat the men were taking back to the
snip. The whistle of the little steam
Jaimch that was towing the barge rent
the air with sharp calls for assist-
ly across the 200 yards that separated .
the distressed craft and the shore. I
Many of the s^fcilors and marines were
pu'led aboard these boats; others hela
tightly ta tho swamped barge. Still
others, unequal to the battle with the
heavy wave’s and tide, Toated np
stream and disappeared.
A STRAf^GE FATALSTY.
Man Laid Trap for Thieves and is
Himself the Victim.
J. B. Beasley, a prorminent merchant
and postmaster of Rockport, n^ar
Georgetown, Miss., met death in a pe
culiar manner.
Several v/eeks ago burglars robbed
Beasley’s store and the posto-Rce. !n
expectation cl* another visit from the
burglars, Beasley had set a loaded
shotgun so that when the door was
opened the gun wouM be discharged.
Fergetting the trap he had laid,
Beasley attempted to enter the store
anc3 the gun was discharged,, killing
him almost instantly.
