Some Tragedies OF Pensacola Bay
By VIM E. Anderson ExMayor Pensacola r.

Inc tragedies connected with the
hurricane of September last, especial
ly the pathetic incidents of the drown
ing OF Mrs. Gonzalez and her son. and
Of the bridgekeeper's family in Es-
Gambia Bay, have recalled many piti-
ful occurrences which have happened
within my recollection.
Probably no. year passes without
some unfortunate perishing beneath
the waters Of the bay, but l will refer
only to cases where several lives were
lost, and under circumstances calcu-
lated to arouse especial pity and SYM
pathy
cannot be exact as to dates. for
write from memory and have no data
to refer to, but those given are near
enough for the purposes of this
sketch.
An. Early Tragedy.
About 1910, a launch from a man.
ef-war vessel lying, at, the navy yard
and containing a r1fdshipman and
twelve. sailors, was .capsized off the
mouth OF Bayou Chico. The boat was
large and heavy, and the men could
not right her. So they chung to the
overturned boat and were blown out
into. the bay.
There was a heavy north wind
blowing, and they rapidly became
chilled and stih The officer, who
could not swim, was twice rescued by
hts men, and put on top Of the boat,
but he became so helpless and numb
that he could not retain his hold, and
finally rolled into the water and per-
ished. One by one the men followed
their officer until there were only five
survivors.
These. having drifted over nearly TO
Town Point, were at last rescued by
a lighter from Choctawhatchee which
was beating over to Pensacola, hav-
ing been in the water for several
hours. They were so exhausted that
they had to be dragged on board by
the crew of the lighter, being unable
to help themselves In any way.
About 1870 a sad tragedy occurred
between Ferry Pass and Florida Town.
The river was high, and large quaint
ties Of timber were coming in for sale
and shipment AS many of the RATS
men lived in Santa Rosa county. Ii
was customary for them to cross the
bay to Florida Town and walk to their
homes.
On the occasion to which I refer,
it happened to be Christmas Eve. and
eight or ten raftsmen who had de-
livered their RATS, were anxious to
cross the bay, so that by walking all
night they could reach home on
Christmas day. They were warned
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-12-16

ON the occasion that l speak OF, be
got under way at Pensacola. but be-
fore he had gone half a mile, or be,
yond the feet, his boat was struck BY
a sQuall from the north and capsized.
Being heavily loaded she sank at
once and left the men struggling in
the water The accident was seen
from the shipping and boats put of
at once to their relief. Fields was
still struggling to keep himself afloat
when the first boat reached him and
the bowman leaned over and grabbed
him by the hair. But he was too
much exhausted to respond to their
w. e. ANDERSON STORY-TWO
efforts, and slipped from the mans
hand and sank to the bottom. No
one survived the accident.
Naval Officers Drowned.
Shortly after the war two American
vessels were loading at the anchorage
off Gull Point. Their captains were
two fine young men named Segur and
Wilson. One morning needing some
supplies, they came down to Pensaco-
la in a yawl-boat Having made their
purchases, they started back in the
afternoon, there being a brisk north
wind blowing.
The following day one of the mates
came down seeking for them and re-
ported that they had not reached the
vessel
AS many persons had seen them
start, there was much interest and
anxiety aroused, and several boats
put out from the feet in search Of
them. They examined the shores to
the head of Escambia Bay without
finding any trace Of the men or the
boat. As they were returning one
party, noticed the top of a boats mast
sticking up out Of the water about
two feet, at a point opposite the mouth
OF Bayou Texar. Upon examination
is proved to be the missing boat. She
had been capsiged by a squall. but
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-12-16

that the ferry boat would be over
loaded, but being hardy and adven-
turous men they determined to take
the risk, and all embarked with their
ropes and rafting tools.
How it happened no one ever knew.
There was severe norther blowing
and the supposition was that when
they passed out of the river into the
open bay, the waves washed into the
overloaded boat, and swamped It. A.
it was, not a man survived, and their
bodies were picked up scattered on
the beach Of Escambia Bay.
Perish in Sight Of Help.
About the same year a sad accident
occurred in the harbor right opposite
the city. There was at that time an
immense shipment of timber going on.
and as there were then not as MANY
tow boats available as there were af-
forwards, much of the timber was
run down to the shipping by the tide.
There was young man named Will
liam Fields, who was very expert at
this business. He was powerful
man of athletic build and as he was
honest and reliable he had as much
work as he could do. He had aoine
decked boat, on which he lived with
his men, and on which he carried the
ropes, anchors and dogs and chains
which his occupation required.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-12-16

had righted as she sank and was
sitting upright on the bottom.
Capt. Segur's body was found en-
tangled in the main sheet. The otheI
body had drifted away, and l do not
think WIS ever recovered.
Capt. Segur was a Free Mason and
was buried by Escambia Lodge with
Masonic honors AS most seafarine
men are Masons, and there was a
large feet in the bay, there was an
immense coRcorse at his funeral
The remains were. afterwards ex-
humed and shipped to his friends in
New England.
a PitifuI Occurrence.
l will close this sad record, which
might be greatly extended, by relating
one more. incident which from its piti-
full character made a deep impression
and which some Of my readers will,
no doubt, recall
Shortly after the war, man who
was a mechanic, settled in Pensacola
with his family, consisting Of wife
and three children. Pleased with the
beauty of the point OF land above
Bayou Texar, now occupied by Camp
Turner. he built a small house there
which he occupied, going TO and from
his work in Pensacola in a boat.
One day, having brought his family
to Pensacola in the morning, he start
ed to return with them.
The father not being an expert
sailor. the boat was stuck by fiaw
and capsized off the mouth of Bayou
Texar By great exeTtions he man
aged to save all Of his family and Sc
cured them to the overturned boat
as well as ne could.
The tide was running out, and car
ried them down near the shipping.
They strove in vain by crying out and
waving their hands to attract atten-
ton, but the tide swept them on down
towards the sea- BY this time they
were all becoming exhausted. First.
the baby, to which he had desperate
" chung. slipped from the arms Of
the unhappy father and sank.
As they neared the navy yard they
again tried by every means 10 attract
attention, but without success BY
this time the two other children mad
slipped off and disappeared from the
sight Of them unhappy parents.
Finally the tide turned and foated
them up the harbor again. They were
picked up the next morning nearly
lifeless on the beach of Santa Rosa
island, near where the life saving sta
ton now stands.
There is something very pitiful in
this tragedy of humble life. The long
period OF agony and suspense, with
help in sight, but beyond their reach.
and the drowning one by one OF the
three little children before the eyes
of the unhappy father and mother,
combine to produce picture which
| can never recall without emotion
Our hay looks beautiful when at
peace, or when its face is covered with
smiles and diraples under q gentle
breeze. But IL is at times cruel and
mercilass. II has its grim SECRETS and
its tragic associations.

Crushing n Clerk.

He was rather carelessly dressed, yet
any one who is at all an observer
could have seen at a glance that his
clothes were of excellent material and
had evidently been made by good tai
lor. But the clerk in the hat shop was
young, and he stood by watching the
customer pull over an assortment Of
colOred hatbands until he struck one
that caught his fancy. I'll take this
One," he said, handing it to the clerk.
That's the New York Yacht club col
ors," remarked the clerk, as If that
settled the question. The customer
looked at him sharply and repeated his
statement that he would take the blue
and red and white band he held in his
hand.
But you don't want that" protested
the clerk. That's only worn by men,
bers Of the New York Yacht club"
I'm one. Just put it iii my hat,

wilted at once.-New York Press.

No Place to Hold Convention.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 21.-The
n,an of the Constitutional Democrats
TO hold a convention in Helsingfers,
Finland, in the hope of being able TO
do so without being interrupted and
arrested by the police, had to be aban-
5oned as the authorities of Helsing-

trouble should they allow the holding
of the convention. An emissary OF
the party went to Stockholm. Sweden,

vention in that city and, although
Nothing definite has been reported con-
corning his success, it is believed that
ho has succeeded in finding safe
retreat where the members OF the
Marty will be able to meet without
faer of being disturbed. 1t is UNDER

nose Of discussing campaign plans will
,o held in a few days. For OBVIOUS

AN EXCITING TRIP.

The Varied Peril. Of Navigation ON
the Yukon River.
Getting on u sand bar is part of the
Yukon programme, and we reached
this act early in the afternoon Of the
first day. The river is constantly
changing, and new channel is made
each year. All steamers carry huge
poles, known as shears, or sometimes
called "ships' legs" When a sand bar
is struck the pole is dropped off the
side and stands upright in the sand.
A pulley is attached at the top, the
engine is started and the boat lifted
and swung forward six or eight feet.
This process is repeated until the YES
sci is clear of the bar. During the
jumping off process the passengers are
sent aft in order to lift the bow. When
somebody stupidity asked the captain
how long we were going to stay at
this point he answered. Anywhere
from an hour to a week." We were
lucky in being fast for only two hours.
The Selkirk, which followed a day
later, spent the entire night on the
same obstruction. Soundings were TAX
en- with a gaudily painted pole. which
suggested Fourth Of July pole vaulting
exhibition. The man who did the meas
uring had singsOng way Of speaking,
and he constantly drawled. 1.-TWO feet
two and q half-three feet-nO bot
tom-four feet" until we were in deep
water.
Late In the afternoon we reached
Lake La Barge. Here the ice was from
ten to eighteen inches thick and spread
from shore to shore like great field
of snow. We pushed on, while the
sharp ice pounded savagely against the
hull, which was built Of inch and half
planks. It scraped and cut the sides
Of the boat and buckled and formed
little ice mountains over the lake. We
ran slower and slower until, after cut
ting through five miles. the captain de-
cided that we could go no farther In
safety, so the Casca tied up at an I'M
inhabited island to wait until the sun
and wind should cause the ice to break.
The mosquitoes welcomed us and came
aboard by the thousand. Some of the
passengers rushed ashore and built a
huge fire out of old logs in order to
protect themselves from the pests; 9th
ers climbed to the top of hill and sat
in row like so many owls. All day
Sunday we waited The crew carried
logs aboard and built an ice pillow for
the boat After twenty-fou hours de-
lay we cast off and went into the ice.
The river is tOrtuOus and muddy. and
in many places the current runs nine
miles an hour. Narrow gOrges are en-
tered, and at Five Finger rapids we
were treated to the sensation of run
ming the rapids between rocks scarcely
twice the width of our boat apart. This
place is considered extremely danger
GUS, and boats coming up the river. in
order to avoid being dashed against
the rocks, pick up a cable fastened on
shore for that purpose and by winding
1t around the capstan pull themselves
up the rapids.-Mrs. c. r. Miller in
Leslie's Weekly.
