BOAT A BOX, TRIES
TO CROSS PASSA|C
Captain of Strange Craft Saved
from Watery Grave as
ship" Sinks.

Stephen Bundeli, 90 years old, who
gave his address as SO Ferry street,
wanted to cross the Passaic river near
the Centre street bridge late last
night.
A close search of the neighborhood,
Bundell says, disclosed no sign of the
bridge. He remembered having
crossed it earlier in the day, but five
minutes wandering up and down the
bank gave him what he believed to
be certain proof that 1t had been
moved in the meantime.
Accordingly, Bundell looked for
some other means of crossing the
stream. The possibility of getting a
boat he knew was remote, so he
looked for a friendly log or something
else with which he might undertake
the perilous feat of floating across the
waters. Soon his search was reward
ed. A fine, big, husky packing DOB
lay in a nearby vacant lot. Bundell
seized on this with joy, and after
much difficulty managed to place it in
the stream.
He was much relieved to find that,
like most wooden objects, the box
hoated. So. taking in his hand a strip
from the box,s cover, which he had
found nearby it in the lot, Bundell
stepped aboard his improyised craft
and started to paddle away.
The makers Of Bundelrs boat did
not foresee the use to which he was 10
put 1t. 1t was badly in need of cauik-
ing, which Bundell discovered wneh
the water began to pour through the
open seams and mount to his shoe
tops. He padded frantieallN, hoping
that he might make the Newark shore
before his craft sank. Scant progress
was made, as the water rose hlgher'
and suddenly Bundell felt his craft
sink beneath him, and the cool waters
of the river rose above his chin.
The pilot of the strange craft Is
not even a poor swimmer, n his
frantic splashing did not help a bit
in keeping him ahoat. Nothing was
left for him o do but shout for help,
which he did, Justify, every time he
could raise his mouth above the sur
face.
For hours it seemed to the man in
the water no reply came to his fright
ened cries. Then. from far down n
stream. he heard the chug-chug of a
motorboat and several deep voices
bidding him keep up his courage.
Then Bundell felt himself lifted from
the water, and when he came to he
was being rolled, face downward, on
an abandoned key hat lay on the
bank.
Bundell's rescuers were three MEM
