BulwarkS on Port Side Splin-

Heaviest Seas Encountered In Capt
COnn0r's Experience.

Captain j. T.. Connor has been steam
boating on Narragansett bay for twenty
three years but yesterday was record
breaker for him In the way of rolling
and pitching on a summer day and under
clear skies.
He was at Block Island with an excur'
sion party aboard the Day Star and on
the way back four hundred seasick pas
sengers had all the excitement OF day
off Hatteras
When about four miles out on the homo
voyage there was crash OF splinteriDg K
wood and the top and bottom bulwarks
on the port side were ripped off for dis
tance Of six feet by the force of the water
retained in the paddle box while the boat
was in the trough of the sea.
The bulwarks beyond the damaged por-
tion were started but with the aid of
lashings were held In place
There was no danger and the excursion
lists, many of whom came from Worcester
wero too sick To bother much about the
wind or wavo. The thing about seasick.
ness Is tha: the first half hour the victim
Is afraid he will die and the second half
hour he Is afraid that he won't.
When the Day Star left Block Island
there was stiff breeze from the east
southeast.
At 80 o'clock the accident happened
and at Newport stop was made to look
the boat over and send word to this city
of the mishap.
Temporary repairs were made and the
boat started Tor Providence where she
arrived about an hour behind schedule
time.
