 If Miss Adele Sehonberger had per mitted hersef to act on the first inl- pulse and hide her head under the bed- clothes when 9 cry for help sounded under her window early yesterday morning, she would not have been the most admired of the twenty-three girls on board the Arbuckle floating hotel, moored at the foot ef West Twenty first street, when young man pre- sented himself to thank her for his life yesterday. Ia
 You saved me from drowning. I had given up all hope until you came" he said. t2
 Miss sehonberger is an attractive stenographer, and has made her home on the hotel-ship Jacob 4. Stamler for the last three weeks. Her cabin is on the port side of the ship, nearest the pier. She had been the guest of honor at a party Saturday night at which the other girl patrons of the ship congrat- ulated her on securing an excellent po- sition in New Haven.
 She was still awake shortly before one o'clock yesterday morning when she heard a splash in the water just beneath the port-hole of her cabin, fol- lowed by cry of ''Helpp She sprang out of bed, and, looking out of the port hole, saw man struggling in the wa ter twenty feet below. He clutched de- sparingly at the side of the ship, and Miss Schonberger saw that he must soon sink.
 T knew there was not an instant to lose" Miss Schonberger said later. Without stopping to rnt on a wrap, I rushed up on deck and found a lantern. lit was cold and I must have looked i like a ghost in my night-gown. I swung my lantern and shouted to the man to keep up courage and would save him.

I had caught up a rope lying on deck and threw it, and started to pull him up, He was very heavy, and, pull as I would, I failed to | lift him. But my strength was enough l to keep his head above water, and I screamed for help. Mir. Sheeley, the I steward, and Edward Christensen, the l watchman heard me
 'They caught hold of the rope, while I held the lantern and kept calling to 1 the man to be brave. It didn't take long for MT. Sheeley and Christensen 1 to get the man out.

 and ran out on the deck, believing the ship was on fire. You ought to have seen them scramble to get out of sight
 when the man, all dripping wet, came i on deck. They all said I was brave, but that's nonsense. What else could I 1 do?"
 Christensen took. the man to the Watchman's shanty, where he spent the might. He insisted on remaining until morning in order to thank his fair res Icuer. He said he had been drinking
 late Saturday night, and had started for the Twenty-third street ferry. He
 walked down the Twenty-first street ] pier by mistake, and fell overheard. His wallet, containing twenty dollars,
 was lost in his struggles in the water. Following breakfast yesterday morn- i ing, he asked permission from Mana.
