The wind was blowing a gale at
the time and the yacht turned over

the Arthur Kill Towing line, of Tot

the time with the large three-masted
schooner, Pemberton Brothers, in
tow for the Lehigh Valley dock, He
Immediately cast off his lines from
the schooner and went to the rescue
of the men.
All five men were clinging to the
bottom of the upturned yacht and
were almost exhausted when the tug
reached them After much difficulty
they were gotten aboard the tug and
taken to the dock at Mt. Loretto. The
yacht was also towed there. 1t was
afterwards taken to Tottenville,
where it was righted and the water
baiied out. The five men refused to
give their names to Captain Pearsall
after he had saved them from wat
cry grave, nor could the name of the
boat, which was painted on the in
side, be ascertained.
Captain Pearsall when seen by a
NEWS reporter late last night, said
uncomplimentary things about the
men whom he had rescued. He said
there was only one of the five who
was man enough to thank him and
say he was sorry to put him to so
much trouble. Late yesterday after

LAYING OF |. v. R. R.
SPUR WASA MYSTERY
Yard Master SAYS
Tracks Are for
New Siding.
MANY AT WORK

The Lehigh Valley railroad COM
pany, with large force or men, start
ed work Saturday morning near the
United Lead Works and by night had
constructed line of railroad track
parallel to, and on the east side or
State street, nearly to Maurer. When
a tree blocked the way, the track
was built around it and the men
worked like Trojans to complete the
stretch of track.
The officials in the nearby factories
and the employees regarded the work
with much interest and to them the
work was mysterious. An official at
one of the plants said that it was pos!
sible that the tracks were being laid
to intercept another company which
intended to run tracks there. Others
expressed various opinions.
Yardmaster Blocker, of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, settled
the question this morning by stating
that the track was the leader of
number of tracks that would be laid
there to receive the cars which were
consigned to the adjacent factories,
and that the reason it had been put
down so rapidly was because they
were able to secure large force OF
men at that time.
Mr.. Blocker says that the Lehigh
Valley owns right of way from Ca
deks to Maurer and that they intend
building yard there SO that cars can
be stored, as on sidings. The cars
have formerly been kept in the old
Creosote factory yard, but under the
new arrangement considerable time
and trouble will be saved.
Work on the other tracks that are
to be laid alongside of the present
track will be continued until the yard
is completed. The track that is now
laid is connected with the company's
line near the lead works.
