SEASONS FIRST
BOAT ACCIDENTS
CLAIM VICTIMS
Double Drowning at Gloucester
as Rescner Goes Down
With Companion.

GLOUCESTER CITY, April 25.-
Search is being made today for the
bodies of two men who lost their lives
in the Delaware river. OF this city.
James Boman. % years old, of Philadel-
phia, lost his life yesterday In a vain
attempt to save his friend. John Riley,
So, of Philadelphia, who had fallen over
board from a skir.
When Riley fell from his skin OF the
foot of Market street, Berman. who was
with him, knew he could not swim, and,
being an expert swimmer himself, went
TO the rescue. There was a strong tide
running at the time. but he managed to
reach Riley and grasped him by the
arms. While hundreds of persons, out
for Sunday recreation. watched from the
shore, Borman slowly swan with his
friend in the direction Of the skif.
Lightened of its burden, the small
craft bobbed up and down on the water,
and though Borman struggled brayely
he was not equal TO the task of closing
the ever increasing a h a separated
him from the skiff. A boat manned by
one of Riley's brothers, Albert krom-
berger II Frank Smith, put out from
shore. and Borman. his strength wan
ing, made a last desperate effort to keep
himself and his friend above water.
Rapidly the boat neared the two. The
anxious watchers on shore held their
breath. To them it appeared that an
other sweep of the oars would bring the
craft alongside the drowning men.
There were shouts Of encouragement
from those in the boat and the specta-
tors on shore. Borman appeared to be
holding his W against the neavy odds.
And then, as the boat was within ten
yards of the men. Borman's strength
gave out. and with arms clasped about
each other the men sank.
Both Riley and Bowman were we'll
known to the "boathouse colony here.
Riley was a widower, with n daugh-
ter. He lived with his father, Patrick.
who is in the ice business. For years
he made a practise of coming here every
Sunday in summer. and spent most Of
the time boating. He has a brother in
the priesthood.

sentence of a year came as a surprise.
