A RockIand Mans story OF Re-
markabIe Adventure.
Especial to the Press.l

RocKLAND, November 23.-John W.
Mitchell, Jr.. secretary of the Peoples
Prohibitory Enforcement League and prin-
cipal of the grammar school here, met with
thrilling adventure yesterday. He left
this city in boat early in the forenoon,
with his destination Owls head. He did
not return at night and his folks here nat
urally became alarmed This. morning
when he failed to show up and no one
could tell of his whereabouts, search be-
gan. Abont 8 o'clock Mr.. Mitchell was
driven in a carriage to his home. lwhere he
related his story. He started to return
from Owls Head about o'clock yesterday.
In getting into his boat he slipped In some
manner and fell. striking against the boat
or the stone wharf, he cannot tell which.
When he regained consciousness 1t was
dark and he found himself floating In the
water beside his boat. His rubber over
coat had prevented his sinking. For some
time he clung In despair to the boat, think
Ing often that he should give up. he dis
charged his revolver three times, but no
assistance came. Finally the tide went
out and the benumbed man crawlsd up the
beach. almost overcome by his long ex-
posure in the chilling water. Near the
beach Is the Simpson house, summer ho-
tel. into which Mr.. Mitchell broke and re-
mained during the night.

JAMESTOWN. N. Y, November 23.-Tht
Old Homestead Hotel was discovered to be
on fire at O'Clock this morning. The fire
department turned out in full force and
spared no efforts to subdue the raging ele

tile. Stream after stream was directed in
to the burning pile through windows and
at every available point, but still the fire
gained headway. Terror-stricken faces ap.
peared at the windows and shrek after
shrek rent the air.
The scene was one OF horror. There
were no ladders at hand and though men
were despatched In every direction In
search of them none could 9e found.
and servants who beheld death staring
them in the face. To stay where thew
were many minutes longer insured either
suffocation by dense smoke seeking egress
through the same channels as themselves
or else more frightful death from the
cruel flames which were stealthily but
surely creeping upon them.
Finally some of the more level-headed of
the male guests snatched the bedclothes
from the beds, hastily tore them in strips,
knotted them together. and collecting ev-
erybody possible on the second story, low
cred them as rapidly as possible into the
outstretched arms ready to receive. them
Fear was In every eye OF the excited crowd
grouped In front Of the burning hotel.
As far as can be learned at this hour all
were saved except three servants and a
boy. who were seen to fall back into the
seething mass just as rescue was within
their grasp.
