JOHN WILSON HAD
A MARROW ESCAPE

The boat which was cut in two and
destroyed by the steamer Claudine on
Saturday, was one in which were John
Wilson of Pelekunu, Molokai, two ba-
bies and several women, the entire
party including the boatmen, number
ing thirteen. The boat was in charge
of native boat-steerer, who has only
one hand, but he is an adept in boat
ing.
Wilson was being taken out to board
the Claudine off Keanae Point, Maui.
There was heavy swell on. The boats
were headed for each other. The sail
boat was veered to come about and
run parallel with the steamer. When
close to the steamer heavy swell sud-
of the bow of the Claudine. Down
came the bow on the boat, smashing
it, and carrying it under.
"When l came to my Senses said
Wilson, 81 was down under the Claud-
ines bilge. 1 tried to get out, but
seemed to be caught. l worked and
worked and it seemed an hour before
my head came above the surface. Then
/ struck away from the steamer fear
ing that ! would get sucked under by
the propeller. Then I saw the boat
steerer, and at the same time saw what
looked to be bundle of pink clothes,
but it was one of the children. The
boat-steerer struck out first, and then
one of the Claudine' IS sailors, Snow
ball is his name, dived over and went
after the other child. The boat-steerer
caught the child under his left arm, and
struck out for the Claudine swimming
with his other arm, from which hand
was missing. A rope was thrown to
him which he caught on the stump of
his arm and then passed it to his
teeth, finally taking several turns
around his body, and in this way he
was hauled up to the deck.
''It was a narrow escape all around
but nobody, strange to say, was
| drowned,
