Thomas NJ. Osborne. q former member,
against the New York Central & Hudson

NEAR ACCIDENT
GOING TO FIRE
Fire Apparatus Has Close
calI--Shed Burned.

A collision between fire apparatus,
two automobiles and Patrolman
William T. Hartmann's motorcycle
was narrowly averted about $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon as an
alarm of Are from box 80 was being
answered. A man driving gray
roadster automobile drove his ma
chine III i ~ the bank to avoid an
aoident Drivers. OF the other ve-
hfcIes used similar good Judgment
and no mishap resulted.
The fire was In q shed in the rear
of the home of Joseph Friger In
Lawrence street. The structure be-
came ignited while Friger, with
others, was singeing hair from q
pig. The blaze caused by the SINCE
ing process ignited some straw and
incurring damages aggregating
about $50. Garfield Engine Conn
pany had the blaze under control
before the other companies had re-
sponded.
The near-accident was probably
due to the fact that some of the fire.
men thought the alarm was sound
ed from box other than 80. AS a
result Peter Kroeger, Second Assist
ant Chief William P. O'Hara, in the
formers automobile, the Eagles
hose and chemical wagon, Chief
Patrick Rocks and Former Chief
Theodore e. Anderson, in the lat
ter's rig, and Patrolman Hartmann,
on his motorcycle, became punched
at Hall and Amboy avenues. Messrs.
O,Hara and Kroeger led at first, the
Eagles came second, Chief Rocks
and Anderson third and Policeman
Hartmann fourth In line. AS Alpine
cemetery was neared the four ve-
hicles came almost abreast, thus
taking up almost the entire width
of Amboy avenue. A gray roadster
happened along towards them and
seeing there was little chance of
passing them without collision, its
driver sent the machine up on the
bank at the westerly side of Amboy
avenue and the other vehicles ON
the way to the fire passed by with
out collision.
No damage was done and no one
was injured. The occupants of the
gray machine, whom the iremen
and policeman did not know, were
somewhat shaken up.
On the way up Lawrence street to
the scene Of the blaze the Lincoln
Engine Company's steamer became
stalled because the team OF horses
was unable to haul it. This. some
of the firemen said, demonstrated
the need of three horses to draw the
apparatus.
The alarm was sounded from the
police station.

THREE TELL OF
NIGHT IN BOAT
TottenvilIe Men Had Exciting
Time Aboard Launch During
The Fierce Storm.
WERE WITHOUT FOOD
One Fell Overheard Revenue
Cutter and Police Patrol
We're Among Searchers.

Three prominent men of Totem
VILE who returned home safe yester-
day afternoon after having spent
the night tossing about Great Kills
in their launch, had thrilling exper-
iences to relate last night to their
many friends who called to congrat-
ulate them on their safe return. No
one was happier than the three
wives who spent sleepless night
watching and waiting for some
tidings Of their husbands. The ex-
perience of the three men was the
sole topic of conversation across the
sound Every means had been put
forth to find the missing craft and
the three men. The police boat
Patrol and the United States reve-
nue. cutter lying at Tompkinsville
were about to start when word of
their safe arrival was received.
George w. Dubois, Lauritz Lar
sen and william Wincapaw, who, as
told In yesterdays last edition of
the NEWS, had arrived home safe
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
were kept busy last night relating
their experiences in the storm of
Sunday night. MIR. Dubois, the
owner of the launch, Du Bee ILL.,, in
which the three men were embark
ed, talked freely of how they Jared
in the gale which almost swept their
little craft to sea. The trio had
headed for home Just before the
storm broke, but seeing a dark cloud
in the west, they put back and re-
manned In Great Kills all night. An
attempt on the part of Mr. Winca-
paw to get in small bateau on the
stern of the launch caused him to be
thrown overheard. He afterward
succeeded in getting back to the
launch after being drenched to the
skin. They had no bed clothing on
the launch and very little to eat.
In the morning when haNlsght {
FsmuHe IN rne caD1n or the launch all
were pretty well worn out with not
much sleep and glad to see the sun
come up In the east. With their
little boat not being able to stand
the heavy seas they could not get to
shore to telephone home to their
families. Upon the arrival of Alfred
Storer, Jr., of Beach street, Totem
Vile, captain of the sioop J.. H. Hill,
which the launch had made fast to
during the night, the three men
came aboard OF the sloop and par
took OF a hearty breakfast consist
ing Of buckwheat cakes, bacon and
eggs, potatoes and coffee, the first
they had had to eat since the sand
wiches the night before.
Former Commodore John Preach
er, of the Bentley Yacht Club, in his
launch Nellie, was the first to noti-
fly the three men what anxiety their
absence of several hours had caused
at home. The launch Du Bee ILL.,
left Great Kills at 1890 noon and
arrived in Tottenville about q
o'clock. When the news of the ar
rival of the men spread many went
to the shore to congratulate them.
