I COusIn OF the President Involved In Iitl-
cation Over Creek Dredging.

MINEoLA, l.. l., Oct. 24.-W. Emlen
Roosevelt, a cousin Of the President and
one Of the Cove Neck residents who fell
foul Of the Oyster Bay authorities last sum-
maj because of their alleged infringement
on the public highway through the ron
struction Of piers, was the defendant in a
suit brought by Oyster Bay in the Nassau
county Supreme Court to-day. The sum
mer capital tow charges that Mr.. Roose-
welt dredged a creek that did not belong
to him.
The OYSTER Bay clam diggers say that
since Mr. hOoseveN dredged Mound Mark
Creek, which flows along one boundary
Of his property, the waters have been made
so deep that they cannot longer delve for
the shellhsh in hat f~avorite habitat. The
~oounse OF the Presidents cousin, former
Congressman Townsend Scudder, answered
for the defendant in couTt to-day that the
creek was not materially damaged by the
dredging and that some valuable marsh
lands had been drained thereby.
Much OF the testimony will hang on the
question Of whether the creek had been
muddy enough before dredging to harbor
cells. II il had been, then dredging il, so
the defendant will claim, was an improve
ment OF which the village shared the bene-
fits.
Judge Maddox instructed both sides in
the litigation TO submit briefs and agree
on date for a hearing.

PLOTTED on 4 PLANK Z DAYS.
One Of Wrecked Schooner Crew Rescued
After Terrible sun erIng.

After Terrible SUFFERING.
Thomas Hook, who arrived here yester-
dav on the Scandinavian American Line
steamship c. F. Tietgen from Copenhagen,
where he was carried by the steamship
Texas, which picked him up of the coast
Of North Carolina on September ls, declarei
that he had been in the water clinging to
a plank for 1903 hours before succor came.
Hook was sent here by the United states
Consul. He was a member OF the crew OF
the three masted schooner Oliver 8. Barrett,
which Cnrned turtle in a gale OF the Carolina
coast on September u, while bound from
Port ROYAL, s. C., for New York with a
cargo Of lumber. Hook believes that the
rest of the schoner's crew OF seventeen
we're drowned.
The Barrett left Port Royal on September
10. One day out a gale arose and o the
wind was blowing a hurricane. The fore
mast went by the board. carrying with II
the main topmast. and later the mizzen
mast was snapped short on at the deck.
The schooner got in the trough Of the sea
and turned turtle.
At the time all the crew except the cap
tain and the cook we're on deck. They
were caught and went down with the vessel
when she sank. The others swan about
and got hold Of pieces OF timber that had
comprised the schooner's Geek load. But
the seas we're high and soon the men were
washed from the timbers and went down
all but one negro. who managed to hold
on for some time longer, but he finally re-
leased his hold and drowned rather h
suffer further the pangs of hunger and
thirst.
Hook said yesterday that he would not
forget TO the last day he lived the hours OF
torture he endured clinging to the timber
for four days without sleep or ~sustenance,
straining his eyes for passing vessels and
believing that each moment would be his
last. He would not forget the disappoint-
ment thai was his when on the second day
a warship passed him without seeing hin
and the hours that followed before the
Texas came to his aid.
When he saw the steamer coming his
way he had given vi all hope-he had almost
decided TO follow the example Of the negro
and let himself drown. but something told
him to hold on a little longer. He judged
that the steamer would not come very near
TO him and the only way for him to attract
the attention Of those on board was to stand
up, IL was a difficult task to balance him.
self on the unsteady timber in the tossing
water and at the same time wave his arms,
hut he did il and was seen.
He was FRUSTRATED for several days after
he got on the Texas, but with good treat
ment he came around in a few days. Yes
terday he show ed but little trace Of his ter
rihIe experience.
