The four boys aud six girls that put out
from the Ben Ma Chroe Yacht Club, in Bath
Beach. early Monday evening in a II foot
catboat got home at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning after a thrilling experience. The
police Of the Bath Beach. Fort Hamilton,
Fourth avenue and Coney Island stations
had been appealed to by the parents Of the
ak girls and they kept a sharp watch along
shore all night.
The boat was owned and sailed by william
Wray Of i8l Washington avenue, Brooklyn.
With him we're three other young men,
Harry Speer, Charles Dade and David
Mathol, all members Of the Ben Ma Chree
club. They took out for a sail May Fitz-

pier, swapping his mast. He says the tide
carried them ont to sea, despite the efforts
he and the three other young fellows @ade
to scull with a lone deck oar that was car
ried on the boat He and his three male
companions all declare that the tide car
ried them out to sea for twenty miles. 1t
was 0 o'clock, he says, when the boat
crashed into the Steeplechase pier and along
about o'clock in the morning they we're
far out Of sight of land. He and the other
three young men say they padded for the
north, as the moon was in the south and
they knew that to get in toward land it
was necessary for them to go in the OPP
posite direction from it. The four young
men say that the six girls became hysterical
and wept and prayed.
The young men sang TO cheer he girls.
Some time before sunrise, Wray says, the
boat got within sight Of Coney Island.
Then a squat came out Of the northeast and
drove them back to sea. With the turn
Of the tide and the decreasing Of the wird
the boat drifted toward shore and at 8
o'clock in the morning they banged into
the Steeplechase pier a second time. There
were no persons on the beach at that hour.
This time when they hit the pier the boat
capsized and all were thrown into the
water.
The vivering girl and May Allen are
good swimmers and they made shore in
good shape. The four young men had to
rescue the other girls and did So. All hands
were cared for at Oberle's hotel nearby
and as soon as possible got word 70 thsiF
homes that they were safe,
Al soon as their clothes had been dried

energy and daring. He began life a. a
factory clerk. He emigrated to New York,
where he was for some time employed in
a'bank. Much influenced by his American

admirer Of transatlantic methods, which
he Immediately adopted when rapid adj
vance placed him in a controlling position.
The public generally approves the APP

partment. IL is predicted thai he will have
a tough struggle against militarism and
bureaucratism

OF 81, $50, but he Is reputed to rave immense
independent wealth. II Ia anticipated that

MILWAUKEE, Sept. Gov. James o.
Davidson was to-day renominated for
Governor on the Republican ticket, de-
feating Senator La Follette's candidate,
IRVINE B. Lenroot, by an overwhelming
majority.
1t was the first time that La Follotte's
primary law was tried in the State and his
attempt to dictate a nomination for Gov
ernor was repudiated by the people.
Davidson, his managers claim, has swept
the State by at least 10000.
Returns are coming in slowly, but those
that are in show hat Davidson has carried
everything before him. Even in the dis
tricts where La Toilette spoke, and where
he has always controlled, Davidson had it
all his own way.
Nothing definite is known about the
Congressional result. The rest Of the
State ticket also is in doubt.
