PRESIDENT WAS IN DANGER
ON THE STLPH WITH PARTY
 DURING STORM.
BrookIyn Navy Yard-Yacht Then
 Proceeded to Ellis Island-At He'll Gate a Tug capsIzed-Generosify to a German Woman. -.

New York, Sept. 16.-President Roosevelt is resting quietly on his train tonight after day of strenuous and varied experiences. While en route from Oyster Bay to New York on the naval yacht he passed through terri flying wind and rain storm, during which the vessel was in imminent dan ger. Subsequently he visited the immi- grafton station on Ellis Island, New York bay, and made thorough inspec- ton of the institution. After dinning on the Sylph tonight he went on the revenue tug Chamberlain to Jersey City, where he boarded special train on the Pennsylvania railroad which is to convey him, Governor Murphy, of New Jersey, and their invited guests to the battlefield of Antietam.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, nearly an hour later than had been ar ranged, President Roosevelt boarded the Sylph in Oyster Bay. He was ac- companied by Mrs. Roosevelt and their son Kermit, Mrs. Richardson, New York friend of Mrs. Roosevelt; Secre- tary Loeb, Professor Albert B. Hart of Harvard college, Professor J. B. Moore, lof Columbia university. c. Grant La Farge, of New York, and Jacob A.. Riis, of Richmond Hill, Long Island. In ad- |dition the guests of the president in cluded members of the executive staff and representatives of the press associ- ations.
 Less than an hour after the Sylph had entered Long Island sound she ran into terrific wind and rain storm. The baggage of the party, consisting principally of hat boxes and dress suit cases, was swept about the deck, and everything movable on deck had to be clewed down to prevent it's being swept overheard. In Hell Gate, a quarter of 8 mile off the port bow of the Sylph, a tugboat having in tow a large three- masted schooner was capsized by the wind and waves. She sank sternfore- most, but did notr settle completely out of sight for perhaps five minutes A small boat from the tug put off with the crew, except two men, who chung to the bow until the vessel disappeared, lit appeared from the Sylph that the two men were taken aboard the yawl.
 The naval tug Powhattan ran along side the Sylph and Commander Pound- stone suggested that a landing be made at the Brooklyn Navy yard. Lieuten- ant Preston reported to the president the absolute i1npracticability of proceed ing to Ellis Island in the, face of the storm. Very reluctantly the president consented Mrs Roosevelt and several of the guests were landed at the Brook lyn navy yard Rear Admiral Rodgers. commandant of the yard, went aboard the Slyph and after consulting with the president, the storm meantime having ahated, it was decided that the trip to the island could be made in safety. At 2:25 the slyph arrived off Ellis Island. The president and his party were land- ed by a tug.
 The presidents interest was attracted by comedy German woman who bore in wicker basket a tiny seven months old babe. After chatting a moment with her the president slipped $5 bill into the hand of Jacob Riis to be given to the woman for her child. sp
