NEW YORK-Special.-T ferry
boat Perth Amboy, crowded with pas
sengers. was ready for her 1880 A. NJ.
trip across from TottentVille, S. l., to
the New Jersey shore Wednesday, and
Captain Androvette rang the bell as
signal for the engineer to start. There
was no response, and the boat did not
move. He rang again, then called i'm
patiently to John Crone, deck hand
and told him to stir up the engineer"
Crone ran to the engine room and
found Engineer Solomon Lefevre,
dead on the floor. Evidently he drop
ped just after he had stopped the en-
gines in the TOttentville slip, for he
lay in front of his throttle bar as
though his last act had been to bring
the big boat safely to her landing
place.
Another engineer was hastily sum-
moned, and after LefeVre's body had
been removed the Perth Amboy start
ed on her journey. The big crowd of
passengers who had just left the boat
and those bound for the return trip
never knew how lucky had been their
escape, for had the stroke that killed
the engineer come a few minutes ear
lier or later the boat would have been
at the mercy of the strong current in
the XIII Won Kull, which is always
crowded with coal barges and othe
craft.
Lefevre, aged sixty-eight years, had
been employed on the TottenvilIe-
Perth Amboy line for twenty-five
years. The body was taken to his
home in Tottenville.
Whether or not Lefevre in his last
moment had fought against death to
bring the big ferry boat with its
crowd of passengers into her slim

tie would have sent her to disaster.
