Thrilling Experiences of
 Stewardess Told

Mrs. Alice Boynton. the colored stewardess. and the only woman on the steamer, was one of the first of the crew to be taken off by the crew of the tug Royal Mrs. Boynton was drench- ed to the skin when she came ashore,
 and she was shivering with the cold
 and crying. The woman was hurried
 to the waiting room of the railroad
 station, and a call was sent in for the
 Emergency hospital ambulance. Wh le
 waiting for it she told her experience
 to a reporter:
 ever saw on the water. and have
 some ten years experience. The boat was tossed about by the storm so that I got seasick, and lay down on the floor of the ladies' cabin. I was not able to hold my head up. The first thing that I knew of any trouble was when I heard the crash I knew there was trouble then sure. for all the elec- Uric lights went out, and we were in darkness. Some of the crew got lan- terms and were running here and there. Our boat gradually went over on one side and a wave of icy water came in to the cabin. I supposed that we were going down to the bottom. I could not find out what was the matter. seem- ed to be long time before any as- sfstance came. In getting from the steamer to the tug I was drenched with water. and stood for fully ten minutes in water up to my waist.''
 Mrs. Boynton was taken to the Bridgeport hospital to recover from the shock and the exposure. and was re- ported to be all right to-day.
 James Thompson, colored, the waiter who was taken to the Bridgeport hos pital with the steward. had a narrow escape from drowning He fell into the water getting into the lifeboat and had to be fished out by the boat crew of the McWilliams.

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
BACK PAY DUE POLICE ESTIMATED
 AT $9,36l.6l
President Hill Has Been Through the Books and Arrives at an Approxi- mate Conclusion.

President George E. Hill of the Po- lice board, with the clerk of the board was busy yesterday computing the amounts due the patrolmen on the force under the new ordinance, which has been decided to be binding by the Supreme court The gross amount of back pay due the men is calculated at $9,366.61. Considerable confusion has been created by the statistics in the municipal register which the clerk of the department claims are not accur- ate.
 Some of the patrolmen complain that they have not been advanced in grade under the old ordinance when they reached the time limit required.
 There is considerable difference be- tween the claims of the policemen and the figures of the department, and suits to enforce the promotion of pa- trolmen who have not been advanced when they reached the stated periods are threatened. It will require an in- vestigation to establish accurately the standing of every patrolman under the new ordinance.
