coy. CHAMBERLAIN AND PARTY
 ON BOARD.
Boat Has Terime sattIs tyith the Ele- ments-Men Work All Night-Put Into Two Long Island Harbors for safety
 Men Saved Yacht and lis Occupants -Rsached south Norwaik Yesterday
Afternoon.

The Elfrida with Governor Cham berlain and a party of friends on board had a perilous experience on the Sound during the storm of Friday and Satur- day.
 The boat started from Mantle, Fri day, under command of Lieutenant Commander Cornwall of this city, and with twenty members of the State Ma val Militia, most of whom belong in this city, with the governor and party to convey them to the yacht race which was to have been held in New York Saturday.
 Everything went along nicely until the open water was entered and then 1t commenced to blow hard and there was very heavy sea. It was with the greatest difficulty and only owing to the able judgment of the commander and hard work of the men that the boat successfully Weathered the storm. She was continually swept by seas. After a terrific battle with the ele- ments, during which every man on board, except the governor and party, worked all night, the boat was finally brought to anchor in Huntington Har- Dor, L. l., Saturday morning. There the party remained for the rest of the morning and until late Saturday afternoon. It was then decided to make another try which was done, but as the same weather was encountered it was found necessary to put into Gen. terport, l.. l.
 There the boat remained until yester- day morning. when it crossed over to South NorWalk, where 1t arrived in the afternoon without mishap, although il had very rough passage. Shortly after leaving Centerport they came upon a sloop yacht, belonging in New York, which was in serious trou- ble The storm and waves had carried away all the sails and rigging and had torn down the mast, the waves sweep ing the entire deck. The lifeboats on board the Elfrida were manned and sent to the rescue. The deck of the yacht was cleared and the occupants on board, which consisted of two mer and three women, rescued. The Elfrida then toWed the wreck into Centerport Harbor, after which it resumed its voy. age
 Those on board the Elfrida saw bott the steamer John H. Starin of this port and the Fremont of the Joy Line, botf of which boats had to put into Long Island harbors for safety. 4 On the arrival of the Elfrida at South
 Norwalk the governor and his party took trains for their homes, the gover. nor going to his home in Meriden. The Elfrida and her crew remained al South NnrWalk, where they now are It is expected that they will sail fol this port some time to-day.

NO FRICTION ON SHAMROCK
SIR THoMAS ABSOLUTELY DIs- GUSTED WITH THE REPORTS.
Declares EmphstieaIIy That He Has Not Criticised Designer Fife and Denies That Fife and Vvringe Are Ut Logger heads-Both nIsn Have Done Their Best and He Has No Fault to Find.

Sandy Hook, N. J., Aug. SO.-Sir Thomas Lipton expressed himself for cibly to-day on the allegations that De- signer Fife and Captain Wringe were in bitter controversy over the cause of the defeat of Shamrock III.
 T want to say" said Sir Thomas, that am absolutely disgusted with the continual repetition of the story that have criticised MT. Fife, and that MT. Fife and Captain Wringe are at loggerheads. I want the Associated Press to say distinctly and forcibly that have never criticised MT. Fife, had MT. Fife build me boat. He built me a beautiful and. think, fast boat. He put in her his best endeavor, and I have never questioned his loyalty and his ability. It is not his fault that MT. Herreshoff built a better one for these waters It is not his fault that the viz ard of yacht building is in this country, and wizard he is. ....
 '.So, too, the stories of MT. Fife hay ing any controversy with Captain Wringe are without foundation. Cap tain Wringe has sailed Shamrock in the same manner as MT. Fife built tito the best of his ability. I have no fault to find with him, and the statement that have found fault with Captain Wringe, or that MT Fife or I have interfered with him, Is ridiculous. MT. Fife has done his full duty by me, and so has Captain Wringe There is no contro- versy between me and either of them, and none between them, will vouch"
 Colonel Nei1l and Jack Wilson, guests of Sir Thomas on the Erin, were cruis- ing in one of the Erin's launches in the Shrewsbury river this afternoon, when the engine broke down and they drifted for an hour and a half before being picked up by another launch and lowed to the Erin. The accident was caused by suddenly reversing the engine to res- cue one of the Erin's mascot" Scot tish terriers, which had fallen oyer- board
 Sir Thomas said tonight that he thought there was chance for a race in the morning, adding that the Sham rock had weathered a stiff gale coming over, and that he would like to see her in a good sea to-morrow.

 The first intimation those inside the office had that anything was wrong was when they heard the shots. The first bullet fired struck Stewart and he fell to the floor without word. Biehl and Edmond, who were sitting near Stew art. turned to see what was the matter, but before they could leave their chairs they were rendered helpless by the we'll directed bullets of the robbers. John son, the motorman, who was asleep on a bench in the outer office, hearing the noise, started up to go to the assistance of his companions, but was shot and killed before he could get on his feet.
