n. c. BOWClICH OF AUGUSTA.
Who Was in the Water. Tells Of the Terrible
Experience.

The news Of the terrible accident at
Mount Desert Ferry. Sunday morning.
reached Augusta in the afternoon, over
the New England Telephone line and
for the safety of the Augusta people
who went on the excursion.
About 40 people had gone from this
city and naturally the relatives were
nearly distracted until they heard the
full particulars.
As il proved, their fears were with
out foundation. as the only Augusta
people in the party were Mr.. and Mrs
G. f Flynt of the Kennebec Journal
ditch & Webster. who were members
of the Maine Press party excursion
and was completing a delightful week
All three Of the Augusta people were
saved though they were all in the wa
ter under the wharf for fully a quarter
Of an hour.
Soon after the news arrived the Jour
nal received private dispatches from
Mr.. Bowditch and others stating the
facts that they were saved and that no
Augusta people We're in the accident.
It was also learned that the accident
occurred, about 1915 o'clock in the
forenoon. and that it would have been
impossible for the Augusta excursion
lists to have arrived there before .
o'clock.
This quoted the friends and relatives
| in Augusta, but to the anxious people,
who did not learn these particulars,
the evening was a terrible one.
a Journal man met a woman on one
of the back streets at little before
the time of the arrival of the IL o'clock
| Pullman almost distracted over the
| event. She was aimlessly wandering
about accosting everyone for the par
! ticulars.
A great crowd had gathered at the
station to meet the returned excursion
lists and here were many happy meet
ings.
About the first to step from train
was Mr.. Bowditch in rather a dishevel-
ed condition with a straw hat almost
minus a crown. He was soon surround
ed by a crowd asking for particulars.
The Journal interviewed the gentle
man before the excitement had subsid
ed and learned the full particulars Of
the terrible affair.
| THE accident occurred to the first
| section OF the excursion train that left
Bangor, at about S.45 o'clock, Sunday

CAUSES GREAT ANXIETY.
Minds Of WateiyilIe People Not Relieved In.
I'll Train With Friends Arrives.

Waterville Me. Aug. 6.-(SpeciaD 1.-The
one subject of conversation on the street
here, last evening, was the accident at
Bar Harbor. y large number went from
here on the excursion and their friends
and relatives were fairly wild with anX-
iety to know if any of them had been in
the accident Some sent kilograms assur-
ing their friends of their safety, but moth
ing definite could be learned about the
majority. There were Is usual reports
Of every possible description afioat in the
city and the meager news from reliable
sources was far from satisfying. Finally
the report was received that the people
from this vicinity had not arrived when
the accident happened and that there
were no Watervllle people injured. This
greatly relieved the anxiety, but every
one breathed easier when the train pulled
in and they found their friends safe.

Many excursionists, 1t is said, did not
come beyond Bangor.
The telegraph and telephone wires were
