Going home from a days outing
Schmon alighted from a Central Rail-
road train from Elizabethport, and, not
looking for possible danger, stepped
directly in the path of an east-bound
train just leaving the East Ferry street
station. He was hurled with terrific
force between the two trains, but fortu-

Captain Peterson, of Harrison.
Has Busiest Hour of His Life
Hating a Panic.

Alvia Peterson, of "a Harrison ave
nue, Harrison, who has been a steam
boat captain for more than 40 years,
says he had the most thrilling expe-
rience of his life yesterday. and he
thanks his stars that he and a boat
load of excursionists of whom he had
charge are alive to tell the tale.
Captain Peterson was engaged yes
terday by Asa Haskins, of Harrison, to
take charge of the steamboat Belle .
and carry load of excursionists to
Midland Beach. Peterson piloted the
boat to the dock at Fourth avenue,
Newark, where he took aboard about
seventy persons, men and women. who
were to spend the day at Midland
Beach as guests of the Paterson So
cial Club.
Peterson made the start about 10
o'clock. When he had arrived as far
as the Narrows he told the excursion
lists that the sea was very heavy and
that they had better land at Ullmer
Park, Bayonne. The merry-makers
would not listen to that, however.
They had arranged for shore dinner
at Midland Beach and that was where
they intended to go. When about
200 yards from the pier al Midland
Beach. in Princess Bay the Belle went
aground.
Some of the passengers wanted TO
jump off then and there and others
wanted to throw Peterson overheard.
The captain said today that he thought
sure he was going to be thrown off his
boat.
| Finally a lifeboat was launched and
two loads of passengers were taken tc
the beach. the third time the lifeboat
returned with about seven aboard
| Some one started rocking it, and as a
| result it capsized and all were thrown
into the water.
| Luckily the water was only about
five feet deep and the passengers were
able to walk in to shore. One of those
who went overheard tried to swim in,
and had it net been for the life-saving
corps on the beach he would have
drowned
A launch came to the assistance OF
the Harrison boat, and the captain OF
it wanted fifty cents for each one he
took to shore. The excursionists re-
fused to pay and remained on the Belle
| until 5 o'clock, when it floated from
the bar and landing was made.
