Okoboji, Aug. ia tragedy on West
Okoboji was averted Saturday evening
about 6 O'clock by sheer good fortune.
A gasoline launch. occupied by gentle
man and eight ladies, caught fire and
all would have persisted either by flame
or drowning had the confiagration oc-
CURED ten minutes later. AZ 1t was the
boat was just about starting on cruise,
but had not yet left the dock.
The launch was in charge Of Harry
Snyder, son Of Mr.. Snyder, owner OF the
boat. Mr.. Snyder had invited eight
young ladies to accompany him on a
trip about the lake. In anticipation of
the cruise he had freshly filed the tank
holding the supply Of gasoline which is
the fuel for the engine, located in the
bow Of the boat. 1t appears that in his
effort to provide ample fuel he overdid
the thing and filed the tank too full.
This was not noticed until he attempted
to start the engine. 1t seems that the
engine is SO constructed that when the
tank is too full 1t will not work well. As
soon as young Snyder started the
machinery and the engine baked, he
at once OWNED the cause and undertook
to get rid of some Of the surplus gaso-
line on the spot. In doing this con-
siderable quantity Of the oil was spilled
and ran down the floor of the boat. The
engine is Of the type with an electric
spark furnished. by small dynamo at
tached to the driving wheel. In some
manner spark from this dynamo
struck the gasoline in the bottom Of the.
launch and instantly famed up. Before
Shrek could be uttered the entire mass
the height of six or eight feet.
Fortunately, as stated, the boat was
tied to the dock in front of the Inn,
where the water is not more than four
or five feet deep. There were cries Of
Jump into the water" from those near
by on the dock and the orders were
obeyed with promptneR that saved
many serious burns. AS 1t was one
young lady's dress caught fire before she
could move and her limbs were severely
though not seriously burned. Beyond
thorough ducking and scare tina,
they will remember to the end OF life
the occupants of the Inflated launch
were none the worse for the episode
save the lady mentioned who was
burned about the limbs.
\ 1t happened that a number Of mer
were about the dock at the time. who
with the assistance of young Snyde,
sank the launch and the fire was ex
tinguished. The damage to the boat i:
