ENVELOPED IN FLAMES
Occupants of Naphtha Launch
Nearly Roasted to Death.

Stanley Greacen, the younger brother OF Ed
ward Greacen member of the house commit
tee of the Larchmont Yacht Club, and Louis
Marten a Norwegian sailor who was taking
him out to a yacht in the club launch, had
miraculous escape yesterday from sharing the
fate of the Grove family. who were blown to
pieces In a naphtha launch explosion the
Sound several years ago.
The two men were attempting to bring the
launch alongside the gangway, on the port side
of the yacht, when she suddenly swung around
and before they could get the launch out of the
way the stern of the sailing vessel hit 1t and
smashed the smokestack and engine. The pipes
conveying the gasolene from the tank in the bow
to the engine snapped Immediately, and in an
instant the fluid ignited and completely en-
veloped the boat in flames. All that the people
on shore could see was a sheet OF flame on the
Sound and black cloud of smoke arising
from it.
The cry went up that the men in the launch
were being cooked to death, and dozen boats
rushed to the rescue Martin jumped over
board, ard was picked up a hundred feet from
the blazing launch. Mr.. Greacen, who is not
an expert swimmer was found in the bow of
the launch With rare presence of mind he had
reached down and shut off the gaSolene valve
the moment the flame burst forth. His cool
ness undoubtedly saved his life, as the gaso-
lene tank, which was directly under the seat,
contained about twenty gallons of fluid
Mr.. Greacen's clothing was blackened with
smoke and oil, and he was naturally badly
frightened, but he suffered other injury The
launch. which had been ruined by the flames,
All of the machinery will have to be over
hauled.

MRS. RUSSELL GETS WORD.

Mrs John L. Russell. wife Of the secretary
of the Journeay & Burnham Company. who
disappeared last Friday, said last night at her
home, No 100 Lincoln Place Brooklyn, that

remember where it had been sent from. She
was not at all sure that it had been sent by
her husband and it puzzled her a good deal
1t was understood that the firm with which
Mr.. Russell was connected had also received

I'VE received a telegram From where or from
whom do not to say We wish that the

Mrs. Russell is in great perplexity over the
numerous thories of her husbands disappear
ance. There is something very mysterious in
it ALL" she said last night But shall learn
the truth. and feel sure that he will be back
again soon. I am sure he is not absent of his
free will. He may have been taken ill
and wandered on a steamer. or It may be that
he is being kept away from me by who
wants to do me wrong.
II know an old friend of Mr. Russell who, I
am sure knows where he is I asked him to
put me IN communication with Mr.. Russell, but
got no satisfaction. He told me he believed my
husband was safe and would return when all
this fuss had blown over. and advised me not to
talk to the newspapers. I shall keep after this
man. and if I find he is responsible for Mr. Rus
sells disappearance may make some interest
