PANAMA CITY
BOAT SWAMPED
SMALL VESSEL CONTAINING A
PLEASURE PARTY SINKS IN
BAY, BUT NONE ARE DROWNED

The first accident to occur in the
extensive launch business carried on
here this season. took place about
10 a. m. on Sunday last, at point
opposite the old slab pile near the
railroad wharf, says the Panama City
Pilot of Friday.
The large crowds coming in on the
forenoon excursion were taxing the
launches to their capacity and there
was some overlooking. Among the
boats going to St Andrews was the
% foot launch of Mr.. Dixon, in charge
of Willie Oliver. 1t is stated by some
Of the passengers that there were u
people on board while other state
ments are that there were from p to
25. The capacity of the boat under
normal conditions would be about L
people, exclusive Of the man in
charge.
Going in the same direction at the
same time was the launch Clyde, G.
Moates in charge. AS this boat, the
faster Of the two, passed the Dixon
boat. the swell that it raised rocked
the latter craft and it being heavily
loaded. with the sides but little above
water, it began to take in water on
one side. Reports differ as to just
what followed. Some say that those
in the boat then jumped to the OppO-
site side, putting that side under wa
ter. Others state that the boat ca
reened so far when the sWells struck
II, that being under full motion, il ran
the quarter under water and so filled
It is also stated that there were
four or five men on top of the cabin
ana they made the over loaded boat
so top heavy as to add TO its ca
reening and aided in bringing about
the disaster. The launch turned on
its side and the passenger warc
thrown into the water, clinging to the
boat and to the life preservers that
were floating about, and to those
thrown out from the Clyde which
came at once, with other boats, to
the rescue and took them from the
water.
There was one lady aboard, Mrs.
Syfret, who was badly frightened, and
was taken to the Gulf View Inn where
she remained in bed until train time
in the evening. A man who was un-
der the overturned boat was nearly
drowned but was brought to by
prompt action. The remainder of the
passengers did not suffer much i'll eff
fects from their tumble into the wa
ter There was no sea, to which may
be attributed the good fortune Of all
the passengers getting out of the
overturned craft without some fatali-
ties.
Custom Inspector Rynearson, of St.
Andrews, was on the railway wharf
inspecting the loading of the various
launches. but the Pilot understands
that though he knew this boat to be
badly overloaded yet could not do
anything under the law, as it had on
board a life preserver for each pas
seIger.

leaves of absence from the navy de-
partment.
This status was satisfactory neither
to Commander PeaTy nor to his as
sOciates in the naval corps of civil
engineers and it was believed that he
could prosecute his scientific investl-
cations with a freer hand if he were
attached to one Of the government S
scientific bureaus and relieved from
the tedious form of naval reports at
set intervals which had embarrassed
him in the past
One point Of supreme importance
in this report of his success which
has attended his last effort to reach
the north pole is that the statement
must remain absolutely unchallenged
in all probability; there can be no
question of the fact, because Peary
undoubtedly is able to confirm his
statements by creditable white wit
nesses who made up the personnel OF
his party.
Rear Admiral w. S. Cowles, of the
bureau Of equipment of the navy, ex-
pressed his delight over the Peary
announcement,
ut was my understanding, said
Admiral CowIes, that when he left
here it was his hope to reach the pole
about this time. PeaTy is most de-
serving officer. He has pursued his
purpose under all sorts Of adverse
conditions and only a man Of his en-
ergy and persistence could hope to
win so great an undertaking.
"Peary had an exceptionally fine
equipment very much money was
spent on his outfit and he has been
able TO take advantage of all of the
mistakes and successes of his prede-
cessOrs. It would be no great wonder
at all If he has at last achieved what
he set out to do. The only fear is
that even if he had discovered the
pole, sufficient time has not elapsed
in which to get the news to the out
side world. I hope, however, it is
true"
Admiral Cowles also said he be-
lieved that DR.. Cook discovered the
pole last year. AT any rate" he
said. q believe, in the interest of fair
play. adverse Judgment should be sus-
pended until it has been demonstrate
ed that he has not made the discov-
cries he claims"

ADMIRAL MELVILLE SAYS
HE BELIEVES IT'S TRUE

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-Admiral
Melville, when informed of the text
of the Associated Press dispatch from
Lieut. PeaTy, said:
If Peary has telegraphed the AS
ISOLATED Press that he has found the
pole. l believe it. and say bully for
him"
Good for Peary," continued the
admiral, as a smile crossed his face.
Il have known PeaTy personally for
a long time and as he was well
equipped for an expedition l think he
had at least as much chance as DR..
Cook for discovering the pole. PeaTy
was within two hundred miles of the
pole in his last expedition and was
prevented from going there by the
opening of the ice pack He has been
gone long enough to have reached
there.
1T was the crazy dispatches pur-
porting to have come from DR.. Cook
about the conditions he found there
and other things that caused a doubt
in my mind about Cook having found
the pole. The dispatches Of yester-
day and today are more sane and are
more favorable to DR.. Cook.
The developments Of the past few
days and the Associated Press dis
patch from PeaTy make the situation
most interesting"

the face and moving the four fingers

Cucumber cream is thought to be
specially ef1cacious in treatment Of
tan, as it is both slightly bleaching
and healing in its effects.
AS with tan, massage and steaming
are valuable agents in banishing the
summer crop of freckIeS. The Gu
cumber and lettuce creams and To-
tions used for tans are likewise good,
the cucumber especially holding the
arsenic needed for bleaching. But
massage is most necessary in both
cases. as this promotes the activity
of the skin and helps it to throw off
the blemish. In cases of long stand
ing freckIes, even massage has been
known to do wonders, but, OF course.
a good lotion must also be used.
The formula below gives a freckle
lotion approved by a wOrld-famed
journal:
Tactic acid, four ounces; glycerin,
two ounces; rosewater, one ounce.
Apply several times daily with
soft cloth or bit of absorbent cot
ton. If the burning is severe-foT
any bleaching lotion is smarting-use
the lotion less frequently and apply

For the scaly eruption which some
times comes to a sensitive skin
through a long sojouTn at the sea-
shore, borax ard glyeerin may be used

and add one ounce Of glycerin and

night, the engine pilot struck 4 white
man named H. Jernigan, so years of
age, who said his home was in Brew

the track, and when the engineer
realized that a human being was the
object struck, he brought his train to
a stop, later backing to the spot
where the old gentleman had been
thrown. The crew picked him up and
placed him in the baggage car, and in
such brought him to the passenger
depot. Thence he was assisted to the
Lewis House, just opposite the depot,
where he was seen by a physician for
the railroad company. 1t was found
that no bones had been broken but he
was considerably bruised. He re-
