dragged themselves ashore at the Battery
yesterday morning from Mr.. Eaton's
naptha launch. the Clip after an all-night
fight with wind and wave. They were
drenched to the skin and the launch was
partially filed with water.
Mr.. Eaton had often safely made the
voyage from Babylon to this city in the
launch. and when he invited three friends
at Babylon to accompany him last Tues
day night they promptly accepted.
The launch had covered half Of the trip
when the machinery broke down. strong
northwest wind began to blow. and the
yacht drifted seaward..
The wind went down at midnight, how
ever, and by dint of oars and sail. with
the assistance of the tide, the launch
reached the Romer Beacon. There she re-
mained until yesterday morning, when the
craft started again for New York. The
guests spent the night in bailing. and this
probably saved them from freezing to

A HORSE IN A WELL.
The Animal Gotten out with But n
Few Hurts.

rev huFtss
A horse I'm a well is something probably
never before heard Of in the history Of
horses and wells.
A horse in a well was what n hundred
people saw, or knew to be true, in the
lower end Of Manchester last night.
The same horse out of the well, almost
absolutely unhurt, after four hours con-
fnement In his close quarters, was what
these hundred citizens had seen before
they retired.
Yesterday afternoon a driver for the
Standard Oil Company in Manchester was
returning from delivering a barrel OF oil
at the Chemical Works. below Manches-
ter. His horses became frightened when
near the city and ran away. After run
ming some distance they apparently d.
vded at a large poplar tree near a well
in the lower part of Manchester 1t is
not known certainly how II happened.
Nobody saw 1t save the driver, and that
driver Is missing Mr.. West, the mana
ger at the Office of the Standard Oil Com
pany. received a phone message about
$50 o'clock that one of his horses was in
a well. He FASTENED TO the place indicated
by the man who 'phOned. He found a
number of people around an open well
about 41-2 feet in diameter. They told
him his horse was down there He would
not have believed il had he not heard the
animal thrashing around in the water
nearly 80 feet below He says the well is
30 feet deep.
Mr. West wished TO shoot the horse,
and then bring the carcass out of the
well but DIR. Sweeney. a veterinary sur
geOn, dissuaded him. A ladder was pro-
cured and let down in the well-the low
or end reaching to the top of the water
ana the upper end being made fast. Men
went down 10 the horse and made fast
stout ropes to his fore feet. They had TO
work rapidly, as the foul air was over
towering. A man could not stay in the
well longer than three minutes at time.
When the ropes were made fast to the
animals feet they were brought up and
attached 10 a block and tackle rugged up
from a tree near by Then a hundred men
began hauling away. 1t was slow work.
The horse weighed 100 pounds. Ills strug-
glings made the task much more difficult.
Finally. at $3.50 o'clock, the animal was
drawn above the ground. He lay down on
the straw for awhile, during which time
he was vigorously rubbed Soon he was
able 10 stand up and eat. In little over
an hour he was on the way to HIS stable,
half a mile away. He made the trip. He
is unscathed, save for a few scratches.
