PARTY OF ACTORS ON ONE
SMALL BOAT HAD TERRIFYING
EXPERIENCE WHILE ENJOYING
SUNDAY BAY TRIP.

Sunday afternoon the many small
launches which dot the harbor in all
directions had a time of it with the
seas, which rolled heavily inside the
haTbor. All of them cTaWled along
with difficulty and at times some dan
gerous and terrifying experiences
were experienced by parties who
sought enjoyment in this manner
A party of actors playing an en-
gagement at one OF the vaudeville
theatres were on the launch Reeba,
and were coming around Town Point
when the boat ran into the teeth Of
a sudden sqUall and careened SO pre-
cariously that there was much I'M
easiness aboard. The boat was head
ed into the trouble but had to turn
and fee before it for safety. Other
parties had like experiences during
the day.

While on the voyage from Barran-
cas- to the city yesterday morning, the
new naphtha launch Lieut.. NeaTy
came near being Swamped by heavy
seas which were prevailing at the
time. The vessel struck full into the
teeth of the big pillows and one.
larger than the others, caught the
boat full on the nose. A shattering Of
glass was heard and volumes OF wa
ter rushed in, greatly endangering the
boat and those aboard. The vessel
was in charge of Capt, John Stokes,
OF this city, at the time, and his years
of experience came in valuable right
then, for he maneuvered the Lieut..
Neary successfully and lodged on
coming seas. He reached the city in
safety and last night the launch was
anchored in the slip between Com
mandancia and Central wharYeS.

It is hoped that arrangements Will
be made for some very interesting
evenings in the room Of the Cham
Ter. for the benefit OF both the mem
hers and the public. The probability
is that invitations will be issued Tor
an illustrated lecture by Local OBJ
server Reed, the aid of a stereOpticOn
being invoked to present str1klngly
to the minds of the audience the
work of the weather bureau. These
lectures are extremely interesting
and very instructive, and If this in
novation proves a success, the secre-
tary hopes to arrange for a number
of such evenings, each OF which
would be useful and instructive as
well as entertaining to members and
public as well.

officials of high degree gives even
more reason than previously an
nOunced to hope for Improvement n

at least, is certain: the L. & n. peo-

routes, with Pensacola on either the
coming or return ticket. The dill
culties IN the way of arrangements
satisfactory to Pensacola are by no
means insurmOuntable, and it is very
evident from letters from Louisville
that the San Carlos hotel will add
immensely to Pensacola's Importance
