ROTTEN MAST BROKE.
Escape Of an Apprentice From OOalh on The U. S.
S. Constellation.

First-cass Apprentice Alexander j
Barry OF Brooklyn had a narrow escape
from death on the L. S. training ship
Constellation at Newport yesterday.
He was in a boatswain's chair
on the topgalIantmast when the
mast broke and gave way. Seaman
Johnson saw Barry's plight and with
rare presence of mind and great effort
pulled him in close To the nizzenmast
SO that the shrouds broke his fall and
he escaped with only bruses.
Had Johnson not seen Barry fall or
had he not been able to catch him. the
apprentices brains would doubtless
been dashed out on the deck below.
Barry is an unusually bright appren-
tice, and was sent here from the An
napolis a few days ago TO compete for
the Bailey medal
1t was found that the mast that broke
had rotted and il is learned that u
was condemned some time ago. Barry,
however, was not prevented from going
UP on It. Johnson's saving OF Barry will
be reported to the navy department

apparent temporary departure there may
be at present. While we are in a state of
