BATTLE WITH THE WAVES.
Narrow Escape from Drowning at the
Pool.

Frank Cole Of Saco had thrilling experience
Wednesday while returning to the city in
row boat from the life saving station, where be
had been duck shooting. A fierce north
western gale was blowing and there was very
heavy sea. Mr.. Cole rounded East Point with
great difficulty, then pulled in near the shore.
Capt Jas. Goldthwaite of the life saving
station, was watching the young man. Ths
Biddsford Times gives Coles experiences;
Immediately after Cole rounded the Point
large breaker came rolling in towards him and
with great force the sea struck the boat, lift
ing the bow out Of the water and knocking
Cole fully ten feet away. He was dressed very
heavily and this impeded his motions to keep
above water. de had ON rubber boots, heavy
underclothiDg, two thick wooden shirts, vest
with several shells in the pocket, revolver
that weighed pound and kalf and seventy
five cartridges in another pocket an outside
coat, and over all he wore an oil suit. But be-
ing an expert swimmer he struck out and
finally managed to regain the boat, which had
upset, and reaching in got hold Of the centre
board box. Another heavy sea came cashing
iu at this moment and washed him away few
feet. He again swan aid regained bis hold
on the boat. Capt. Goldthwaite was now ON
the shore watching him and had sgnalled to
the station that something was wrong He
shouted to Cole to hold on to the boat an the
latter now thinks he heard him and that this
must have encouraged him. A few seconds
after he had regained the boat for the second
time huge wave, the biggest that had yet
struck him, came and washed over him. For
a short time nothing could be seen on shore of
either man or boat. Cole had seen the wave
coming and taking firm grip had ducked his
head and gone under. The wave Just struck
the top Of his head, taking off his hat with the
same force as If he had been dealt o heavy
blow with a club. A third wave took hin
ashore on the ledge and carried him out again.
The fourth took him into water about breast
high and he let go his grip upon the boat and
managed to get ashore. The next wave
brought the boat near shore and Cole, with
Capt. Goldthwaite's assistance, drew 1t up out
of the water. A breech loading shot guu
valued at $50 was lost overheard when the boat
upset. SO
Cole was taken to the life saving station
where he was rubbed down and provided With
dry clothes Capt. Goldthwaite and his men
did all in their power to make him comfort
able and are deserving of all credit. Mr.. Cole
has been accustomed to the water since mere
child and is an adept at handling boats. "Whsn
I struck upon my back in the water after be-
ing thrown out of my boat" said he TO the
Times reporter, 81 thought that was the last Of
me-" He has every reason to be thankful for
his providential escape.

Report of the Naval Advisory Board
New Vessels Rec commended TO bo Bulls at
Once.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.--Secretary Chandler
has lust received from the naval advisory
board their report and recommendations with
regard to "Types and number OF vessels which
should be commenced at once In order to carry
forward the work OF reconstruction of our un-
armored fleet" The report recommends inn
mediate construction of one vessel of the class
and type of the Chicago now in course of con-
struction, the cost of which including outfit Is
estimated at $l,z95,000. The report says
mum of unarmed fighting efficiency, her cost
of construction and maintenance limits the
number which can be built and their general
active cruising capacity. For this rea-
son the Boston and Atlanta were
designed, which by alteration in the
type made necessary by restrictions in
the dimensions maintain combination of
fighting and cruising qualities approximating
closely those of the Chicago at much reduced
cost The report recommends that one or
more vessels of this type be commenced and
places their probable cost including outfit at
$685., 900. The report recommends the con-
struction Eof another vessel OF the type OF the
Dolphin at cost including outfit at $482 GOO
and says: This vessel serves as basis from
which to develop a pure type OF lightly arm
ed, high speed and economically maintained
commerce sdestroyers. This ship when COM
pleted will be very effective in this respect al
though her normal feet service is of different
nature. The report also recommends the con-
struction OF two vessels of different type but
same size as the Dalphin to replace the
Juniata, WachuSett and Essex types in the
old fleet, the probable cost of each placed at
$4,000. The report further recommends
immediate construction Of two gunboats 750
tons of maximum draught of nine feet,
peculiarly adapted for navigating shallow
water put which shall be thoroughly seagoing
and cost including outfit $269,000 each. In
order that ship and engine building may be
cultivated on the Pacific coast and that sufh'
cient Inducements be held out to tho people tc
establish factories it Is strongly recommended
if possible that the vessel of the Dolphin type
and one of the gunboats recommended be built
and fitted ont on that coast.

Rx-CoLLEcroR SIMMONS.
A Serious Charge brought Against Him
nv EOileetOr Heard.

Boston, Oct 26.-At Lawrence tonight Col
lector Beard said: III shall now make state
ment to you of facts connected with the
administration of VIM. A. Simmons as Col
lector of the port of Boston, which are shown
and substantiated by reports and evidence in
possession Of the Treasury Department at
Washington. During his administration, in
the years 1875, 1876 and 1877, conspiracy
existed vii b members both inside and outside
the customs service for smuggling merchan-
disc through the Boston Custom House, and
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth OF
goods were smuggled through on form Of law
and the government defrauded of legitimate
duties. This could only have been done by
the aid and connivance of customs officers in
responsible positions. 1t was done in various
ways, but largely through bonded warehouses
Search for the papers connected with official
enquiries disclosed the fact that some had
never been placed on file, while others had
been taken therefrom surrepttiously. The
laws and department regulation designed for
safeguard against fraud we're ignored. Entries
covering 10 cases of hide cuttings, passed upon
by the appraisers, were made under two names,
neither of which can be found in the Boston
Directory, nor are either of these names
known to dealers in hide cuttings. These
cases and many more have been traced to
manufactures in England, and found to con-
tain hastings, serges and silks. A high official
now in the Treasury Department says these
were the most audacious frauds ever known in
the history of the customs service"
