Calamity Rescued.

After hanging to me yacht for near
ly all hour Il government lifeboat COM
manded by Captain Henry S. Ludlam
of the Hereford Inlet life-Saving sta
ton, hove in sight and after some ma
neuvering managed TO get close TO the
capsiZed vessel. He was not moment
too soon, for as he came within a
boats length of the Nora four men,
weakened from exhaustion, let GO their
holds and began floating away. Cap
tain Ludlam threw his boat around and
the four half-drowned men were drawn
out of the water. Then, at the risk of
their own lives, the resCuers went after
the other men and pulled them into the
boat. The rescue was most propitious
as the rough sea was constantly pound
ing the iifeboat against the keel of the
yacht. The survivors were transferred
to the sloop yacht Violet and taken
ashore.

Many Excursion Parties.

Anglesea is one of the favOrite fish
ing places along the New Jersey coast,
and has seldom had a buster day than
today. Every excursion train from
Philadelphia and other nearby points
came down crowded with visitors, most
of them intending<to spend the day in
fishing. The weather in the morning
was ideal, and all the fishing boats
took out large crowds to the fishing
banks. During the afternoon, however,
a brisk breeze Sprang up, and the cap
tainS of the small craft hOiSted sail and
steered for home. Many of the fleet got
i'm without mishap, although some of
them mad considerable difficulty in
clearing the Hereford bar.

Struck by a squaiI.

The two boats that got into trouble
were the slOop yacht Nora, which had
on board Captain Herbert Shivers, his
mate and thirty passengers, and the
sloop Alvin B., with a party of twelve.
The sand obstruction is about a mile
from shore. Just as the Nora was
about to go over it heavy squat struck
her. As the craft keeled over she was
hit by a huge wave and turned COM
pleteiy over, the mast swapping off
short. There was an agoniZing cry as
the yacht turned turtle, which was
quickly silenced, when nearly all the
victims disappeared beneath the water.
The heavy sea, however, probably was
responsible for the saving of most of
the survivors, as the waves were so
rough that the uptulned yacht was
tossed about, thus uncOvering the
struggling victims caught underneath
AS many as could reached the keel. In
the unequal fight against The elements
the clinging men disappeared one by
one until only eighteen ware left cling
ing to the boat.

The Second Accident.

) Shortly after the survivors of the
Nora were brought ashore another
yacht, the Alvin B.. was seen to capsize
about a mile above the place where the
Nora went over. There were several
boats in the vicinity at the time, and
all but one person were saved. The AL
vim B. was owned by E. L. Mailman, a
lawyer of Pottsville, Pa. He and a
party OF friends were on board at the
time.
One of the survivors of the Nora said
tonight that, had it not been for the
prompt assistance of Captain Ludlam
and his crew, every person on board
probably would have been drowned.
He said that when the Nora overturned
it was everybody for himself. There
was a great Iangle of fishing lines and
nets and it was, no doubt, due to this
that so many were unable to reach the
capsized boat.
