OF G. F. g A. WITHIN
FOUR MILES OF PENSACOLA
ONE DROWNED AND THREE
OTHERS NARROWLY ESCAPE
WHILE IN SURF BATHING

Luis Valca eel, q Spaniard, was
drowned and William Strobahr, of
Montgomery, w. P. Kennedy and Dave
Wright Of this city were rescued in un-
conscious conditions Sunday afternoon
as the result of being caught by a
strong undertow while bathing in the
gulf where they had gone on an ex-
cursion.s All of the men were far be-
yond the life lines when the accident
occurred which would have resulted
in four deaths but for the prompt ac-
ton and bravery on the part of Ern-
est Vincent, Victor Riddle, Richard
Stearns, Charlie Dillon and others.
VaIcarcel was the first to be seen
in distress. The recent storm had cut
deep hole some distance from the
life lines and when the Spaniard ven :
tured out he stepped into this hole.
He went down and was caught by y
fearfully strong undertow and carried
several hundred feet further out. His
screams for help attracted the atten-
ton of the other bathers and also
created much excitement. Messrs.
Strobahr, Kennedy and Stearns started
for the man, but after getting within
a short distance of him saw that he
was drowned 'aaad turned to get back
to shallow water and out of danger.
It was then that they found them
selves practically in the same plight
as the man who had just drowned. Mr.
Kennedy was the first to go down. He
was caught by the undertow and be-
came excited, but Stearns quickly
swan to him and securing a life line
tied it about his body. He was pulled
ashore in an unconscious condition.
Mr.. Strobahr, in the meantime had
been carried further out into the gulf

and his sister, who was among the
party became excited and called for
help. Ernest Vincent was the first to
go after him. Securing a life line he
started for Mr.. Strobahr. quickly fol-
lowed by Victor Riddle. When Mr..
Strobahr was reached he was still
afloat, being an excellent swimmer.
and young Vincent and Riddle fasten-
ed the line about their bodies and
were pulled ashore by Chas. Dillon
and Dave Wright, assisted by a num-
ber of willing workers on the beach.
Mr.. Strobahr was unconscious when
shore was reached. Dave Wright, who
mad formed one of the rescue parties.
in the meantime had gotten into the
undertow and was practically in the
same condition as the others, but the
life line was quickly passed around his
body and he was pulled ashore.
The body Of Valcarcel was recovered
and the excursion steamer left the is
land with the dead man and the three
whose lives had been saved. The lat
ter were put through the usual treat
ment of resuscitation and though they
felt the effects of it yesterday were
able to get about, Mr.. Strobahr leav-
ing for his home in Montgomery.
The accident was entirely due to
the fact that Valcarcel went far be-
yond the life lines and that the storm
had not only washed out the beach
at one or two places but an under
current was running out against
which it was Impossible for any one
to swim.
All Of the young men participating in
the rescue deserve praise for their
bravery in risking their lives to save
others.

BluefieIds, Mic, Sept. 16.-American
sailors from the gunboat Tacoma were
fired upon on the streets here last
night during an anti-American dem

of the anniversary of Central Ameri-
can independence. A mob of excited
Nicaraguans was formed Immediately
and for a moment ploodshed was
threatened.
Prompt action by Lieutenant Lo-
well, in command of the landing force
of sixty marines, undoubtedly pre-
vented serious trouble. He rushed the
marines to the scene of the trouble and
dispersed the mob.
The entire force of marines patrolled
the streets of the city throughout the
night and prevented the assembling of
natives in groups.
The sailors who were fired upon by
unknown Nicaraguans were not hurt.
Quiet prevails here this morning but
It is realized that the situation re-
mains critical. A strong anti-Ameri-
can feeling exists here and in other
parts of Nicaragua and the action of

Scurrilous articles denunciatory of
Americans have appeared in the local
newspapers.
While Americans and the American
government have been the subject of
