BIG BAGS MADE
BUT HUNTERS HAD
NARROW ESCAPE
THOUSANDS OF MARSH HENS
WE'RE KILLED IN NEARBY
MARSHES YESTERDAY.
Two or Three Boats capsized. 9th

GaIe-Many Close Calls Occurred
During the Day.

1t was a great day fGr the marsh
hen hunters of Brunswick, and a
sad one for the fisny birds. The near
by marshes resembled small battle
fields from daylight yesterday MORN
ing until the tide finally started to
recede. 1t is impossible to even at
tempt to estimate the number of
birds that We're slain, but it is known
that the number will go UP into the
thousands.
But some of bfe hunters paid well
for the birds which they killed, and
many ale the experiences OF near

the heavy northeast wind and land

are still missing, but it is thought
hey will all turn up as soon as the
wind lulls somewhat
The tide was the highest that has

The marsh for miles around was al
most completely covered, only a
small bunch of grass Icing visible
here ana there, and wherever such a
bunch could be found the helpless
hens would gather for safety, only
to be cut down by the crack of the
sportsmans gun.
The high wind which prevailed,
however, made it uncomfortable for
the shooter and oarsmen, and many
OF the parties found it impossible to
make any headway against the wind
Others, not looking to ble return trip,
allowed the wind to carry them at
its will until coming-home time, and
then it took all the elbow grease"
possible to "6ucl,' tie strong wind
back to the city.
Many narrow escapes were report
ed during the day, but, as far as is
known, no fatalities occurred, though
one or two boats are still missing.
This mornings tide is also expected
to e an unusually high one, and it
will be another fatal DAY for the

ANXIETY IS FELT
FOR SAFETY Of
LAUNCH PARTIES
TWO PARTIES MAY HAVE MET
DISASTER DURING THE GALE
YESTERDAY.
Marsh Hen Hunters Fail to Return
and Searching Parties Look ,or
Them il vaiF,-Capsized Launch
All that Was Found.

Considerable anxiety is being felt
for the safety of two or three marsh
hen parties who left the city shortly
after daylight yesterday morning and
who had not returned or been locat-
ed up to an early hour this morning,
though search had been made for
them.
One Of the missing parties was
composed OF Messrs. Phillips and
RiX, sons of r. NJ Rix, of the Mu-
tual Light x Water Co., and Monroe
Phillips. These two young men left
The city shortly after o'clock in a
small launch, towing a batteau. They
left from slip near the gas house
and went in the direction of the new
docks, When it was discovered late
Yesterday afternoon that they had
not returned to the city a party in
launch went in search of them.
Other marsh hen hunters reported
that they dad seen the two young
men in the vicinity of the new dock.
and the searching party went in
that direction. A short distance
from the new docks the little launch
which tAe men left in. was found
capsized in the marsh, but there was
no sign of the batteau. II is known
that they anchored the launch and
hunted from the batteau and it is
supposed tdat they were unable to
control the little craft in the stiff
northeaSter and were more than like
ly blown ashore somewhere. There
were so many hunters out that, had
the two young men met WiDl an
accident someone would have no
doubt seen them, therefore it is ne
lieved that they were llOwn ashore
somewhere and were unable to reach
the city but will turn up today. The
launuh, it is thought, was overturned
by the high wind Both young men
have number of friends in the city
who are indulging the hope that they
will safely return
Another hunter who is also missing
is Stewart Cugin, of the Oglethorpe
hotel. He left early in the morning
al oard a launch with w. C. McKin-
zie, chief clerk at the hotel. The
went few miles from the city and
Mr. Cugin then left the launch and
hunted from a small batteau. When
the launch was ready to return MI.
CuSin WAS nowhere in sight, and aft
er looking for him for quite a while.
t2e launch came on to the city, think
ing prol ably he had been picked NJ
by some other boat After reaching
the city and learning that he had
not returned Mr.. McKinzie, together
with the launch owner, started out
on a search for the missing man.
They left the city shortly after noon
and up to 2 O'Clock this morning
nothing had been heard from eith err
the missing man or the searching
party.
Other reports Of missing parties
were received. but these are the only
two in which t2e facts could be as
certained.

entire day replying to anxious in
Quirers who sought something definite
as to the movement Of the hurricane.
Several Bad Cave-ins.
Two or three caye-ins Of serious
proportions were reported late in the
afternoon and it was feared that a
serious accident would be the result
but danger signals were displayed as
soon as the caye-ins we're reported.
At the corner Of Gloucester and Ogle-
thorpe streets there was a DANGEROUS
hole, several feet wide and two or
three feet deep, and as the heavy
rains continued during the night the
break widened II was a dangerous
place, but pedestrians were notified
Of the caye-in by two red lanterns. In
various other sections Of the city such
caye-ins were reported and it seems

NO SAILING VESSELS DUE
IN PORT AT THIS TIME
Fortunately None Are Thought to Be
in Any Danger.

An Investigation yeste. day proved
that the last schooner of a fleet
bound for this port arrived on Mon
day, consequently it is not expected
that any sailing vessels will meet
with disaster near tsis port, unless
it is some vessel bound for other
ports and which got caught in the

his funeral June 7th, 1910 being
the fiftieth anniversary of his mar
riage. Of this union was born nine
children, eight of whom. four sons
and four daughters survive, includ-

Several of the children were called
from their distant homes and all
were present when their father
passed away
Funeral services were conducted
yesterday at the First Baptist
Church by DR.. Read his former
Pastor who was called from his
home in the South to officiate. The
body was laid to rest under the
auspices of the Masonic Lodge of
which order he had been a member
for over forty years. amidst large
concourse of friends and relatives
in our beautiful city of the dead, st.
JudeS cemetery.
Early in life when about ID or Is
years old, he united with the Bap-
tist Church which was the begin
ming of the growth of a beautiful
christian character, that was so evil
dent in his peaceful, prosperous
life. Over forty years ago the First

We are such stuff as dreams are

And our little life is rounded out

Sunday morning at 1:30 o'clock
June 5th, 1910 the life of j. M
Proctor was rounded out with
sleep from the dreams of life AS
we stood by the lifeless form of the
man whom we have known all of
our life, loved and respected above
men, we realized that he had en-
tered that blessed sleep from which
none ever wake to Weep" and had
entered it with a sustaining faith
and absolutely fearless.
What lasting tributes of love and
respect can be paid to the memory
of this man. Plain and unassum'
ing, deeply studious with a literary
bent of mind that rendered !him in
structive and entertaining, energet
ic with concentration of purpose
that rendered him unusually sue
csssful in business and above all life
and reputation absolutely above
reproaCh.
The name of James M. Proctor
was never associated with crook
ed deal, OUT invariably with sue,
cessful enterprises. The advice o.
this gifted man was eagerly sought
by people and he always had time
to enter into the affairs of those
lives with a conservative optomism
a trained business judgement thai
aided, comforted and cheereC
which makes his. death great los,

the end, that as much pressure and
responsibility might be taken off
of him as possible, incident to a
man of large means, that he might
have time to relax from a strenu-
Gus life free of care, give vent to
sweet memories of past accom-
plishments and cultivate a spiritual
old age the most beautiful period
and crowning glory of human life
Likewise afflicted, and deeply in
terested in a line of thought that
brought us together many times in
the past two years, it was certainly
fascinating and a revelation, to
listen to the faith within his con-
ception of a future life, his idea of
wonderful evolution on the spirit
planes, an eternal progress until
lost in the infinite love and glory
of the God that gave him life. He
was in touch with the inner man
where the Savior located the King
dom of Heaven, he had been given
a white stone, in the stone a new
name written, which no man know
eth saving he that receiVeth It,
We personally feel in his passing
out that there has been a new link
cast upon the grounds of eternity
that draws us nearer my God to
Thee" and as we extend the hand
of sympathy to the bereaved chill
dren, the aged brothers who were
so fondly attached to their father
and brother, let US emulate his eX-
ample, keep green his memory and
all will be well under the guidance
of our star IF sbiritual destiny.
To the aged companion who
stood by the side of her beloved for
fifty years we extend our deepest
sympathy, and bow in reverence to
a beautiful faith that cries out in
the hour of her deep bereavement:
Though He slay me, yet will l trust
Him for | know that my Redeemer
| liveth and that He shall stand at
the last day upon the earth yet a
little while" and l shall meet him
in the Spirit Land"
AS we bid you farewell, our be-
loved father, brother and friend and
resume the even tenor of our ways
we know that in the hours of medi-
tation, retrospection, memories of
your honorable life will break in
vibrations from the source of all
good and formulate the prayer and
only prayer of mortal limitation;
Peace, peace perfect absolute peace
to your ashes. ~
