Employees Of Schaniz & ECkert's
Had Experience Down the
Bay Last Night.
STARTED FOR CONEy.
Engine Refused 10 Work and all Efforts on
the Part Of The Four Maohlnists 10 Fix
II Failed Waited Until Daylight when
Repairs We're Mare and The Trip Home
was Started.

Four machinists, employed at
Schantz & Eckert's machine shop,
had unenviable experience on. the bay
last night and while they were not in
any immediate danger ms long as the
moon was bright, it was several long
anxious hours for them. When near
Ooney Island the engine refused to
work and they drifted until daylight.
Those in the party were John Kress,
George Ledger, Jasper Johnson and a
friend of Mr.. Kress, who is visiting
him. Tile party had gasolene launch
which is here being tested. 1t is q
new craft anil the party decided on a
moonlight sail The night was SO fine
that, when they got out in the bay,
they decided to 90 to Coney Island.
The engine worked beautifully and
the craft, speedy launch, went down
the bay at good clip.
1t was when about three miles from
Coney Island with Sandy Hook
twin light'plainly in Wow, that tho en-
CINE suddenly stopped. All efforts to
start it failel. For half a hoar the
for mncilinists worked with the
'"pesky' little thing, but no thing
they could do would start it.
In the meantime the launch drifted
aud was being carried out toward the
broad Atlantic. After working for
about two hours and when all were
exhausted, they stretched out on the
seats and went to sleep, allowing the
boat to drift. 1t fioated with the tide
and at daylight this morning, when
the men awoke, they were within a
stones throw of Hoffmans Island.
With daylight to aid them the
macIinists soon found what was
wrong, and the merry " chung of the
engine was heard rushing the sailing
party toward this city, here they ar
rived at 1880 O'Clock none the worse
for their experience.
