FOUR MEN IN HARBOR.
They Were capsized and Had Marrow
Escape. :.

Boston, Jan. 1l.-Four men who were
returning to East Boston last night in a
dory from the lower harbor. had mar.
ow escape from drowning when their
craft capsized half mile of the dock.
When they were discovered by the
sharp-eyed captain Of the tug Annie
and hauled on board, they had been
struggling in the icy water half an
hour and were about ready to sliccemnb.
The men had been down the harbor
during the day on fishing trip and
were coming back in their craft, which
was small dory, equipped with a
motor. Half n mile of Jeffrey's point.
East Boston, squall swept across the
harbor and overturned the dory. BY
some means tho men were able to keep
the overturned craft afioat, although It
was weighed heavily with motor ma
chinery.
Fortunately the tug Annie happened
to be coming up the harbor, heading in
the direction Of the overturned dory.
IL was very dark, but the skipper Of
the tug detected an unusual commo-
tion Off the starboard bow. and soon ran
alongside the struggling fishermen.
They were all taken on board, and upon
reaching the city were sent to the re-
lief station.
Except for the fact that all four men
were considerably exhausted and had
some water in their lungs it was stated
at the relief hospital that none of them
was in serious condition and that an
would leave for their homes as their
clothes were dry.
