THE CAPTAINS STORY.
The Recent Shooting on the Bark
Lydia at Dohoy.

DoBoY, May "a. Editor Morning NelUS: :
Having read ip your issue of May 30 an
account of what happened on board the
barkentine Lydia, port OF Darlen Doboy),
1, as master Of said vessel, feel it my duty
to ask you to insert the following: 1t is
true that few words passed between my
steward and myself, but they were not Of
sucn a character as TO be called hot.
Between and O'Clock in the morning
asked my steward whether he was going
10 prepare breakfast, and / got for an an
swer that be was sick. | told him that
this sickness seemed to come on very
suddenly, and asked him to bring me
some water. He answered that he could
not ana would not bring it. then took the
pitcher and went myself for some, and
while entering the cabin be
met me in the hallway with
revolver and shot me. 80 that
the bail passed through the forehuger OF
my left hand, SCATTERING the bone and
oruislng the second finger. The ball
struck the pitcher, shiVeriug it to pieces,
which fact | consider of being the means
of saving nv life. Directly after ] was
wounded turned around and went for
ward to call the men, and when coming
there heard pistol shot in the cabin.
when the mate rushed into the cabin and
lOunQ Jne steward lying on the
floor dead, shot Through the heart,
with the same pistol laying along
side of him. Immediately took the body
in my boat, went to DobOy, called on the
Health Officer, DR.. Dunwoody, who
dressed my hand, examined the stewards
wound and pronounced it case OF in
slant death | an to-day, that is, week
since the accident happened, vet under
the treatment of DR.. Dunwoody. IL is a
painful wound, and there is no doubt but
that | will lose the use OF my foreinger
through this accident.
In conclusion, feel constrained to say
few words about the steward and my
self. | never bad man under my COM
mand in whom l placed so much conf
dence, and who pleased me SO we'll; there
fore / was 10th to lose him, therefore l
refused him his discharge, which refusal
l consider to be the cause of the whole
trouble. GEORGE LOWERY,

manager of the Brunswick and Western

of the road, Mr., Morse said:
Everything is moving along nicely.
Contracts have been let for the entire dis
lance between Jesup ana Harris road,
and work Is being pushed rapidly on each

AN EARLY SUMMER EXODUS.

There has been a lively inquiry at the
railroad ticket Offices Tor the past lie"

the ticket agents have been busy answer
inc questions which is the best place to
80 To spend the summer. Most Of the
mountain resorts VIII open next week Tor
I the season. The opening OF the Green
wood. Laurens and Spartanburg abroad,
a connection of the Georgia Central, VIII
open up new field for summer travel,
and Will shorten the distance between
savannah and the mountain resorts OF
Western Carolina and Eastern Tennessee.
The delay IN travel caused by the
chan -e Of gauge will continue for several
dsys. Owing to the changes which are
being made and which are to be made
the sleeping car service on all the South
ern roads will be badly intertered with
until june ,.
A good many people who expected to
leave town by June 1 viii not leave until
a week or two later. The rush VIII begin
about June 20. All OF the Georgia re-
sorts are making pre- parauons for big
patronage. The ticket agents tables are
loaded with summer resort literature,
and anyone with the first longing 10
70 among the mountains or lakes can
tiuG on paper almost any Kind
of place that the imagination can picture.
The reduction in summer excursion rates
this year Will tend to Increase travel.
Excursion tickets viii be put on sale next
week, and on some roads the sleeping car
berths are already taken.
The prediction OF the weather prophets
for hot summer beginning early in Ine
is seized upon as an additional reason for
leaving early before the not weather be-
Gins. For the week or two following
