UNCROWNED HEROES.
Brave Deeds Performed on All Sides by Young
and Old.

An Ellsworth special to the Lewiston
Journal says: The catastrophe at Mt
Desert Ferry. Sunday morning, has
plunged this section of Maine into
mourning All Sunday forenoon
trains were rushing to Bar Harbor
from all parts of Maine-from Port
land on the west from Nanceboro on
the east and from Caribou on the
north. The trains were packed to sur
location with eXcursiOnists, all bent on
seeing the warships, which We're due in
Bar Earbor Sunday
One Of the most noticeable rescuers
was an elderly man who, standing to
his breast in water on one end of the
broken gangway, helped to drag per
sons from the water and pass them on
to the people on the wharf above. The
old man was himself in danger of be
ing dragged down. but when some one
shouted to him to let them pull him
out he calmly replied: There's time
enough: there's work here
One Young man from Harrington,
whose name no one can learn, is cred
tied with saving 20 lives by his cool
ness and courage.
The four persons from Ellsworth
among the dead are all well-known.
Irving Bridges was a laborer aged

tide runs below the pier, and it is
thought other bodies have been carried

eminent job at Sullivan Falls was
summoned and aided in the work OF
rescue.
There were no scars on any Of the
bodies rescued. death in every instance
having been by drowning. Many OF
the saved were unconscious when
taken from the water. The Hotel
Bluffs was turned into a hospital for
these. and others slightly injured.
Doctors were summoned from Bar
Harbor Ellsworth and Bangor, but ar
rived too late to be of great assistance.
There was an unfortunate delay in
getting the Ellsworth physicians to the
scene. one train passing through Els
worth without stopping, leaving the
doctors on the platform to wait almost
an hour for another train. Then they
went down on an excursion train, but
within three miles of the Ferry the
leading locomotive of the double head
er was detached from the train, and in.
to this the doctors and the Journal re-
porter crowded for the run of the las
few miles to the scene of the accident
