TELLS OF FIRE
ON The R0MER
lack VreeIand Describes De-
struction Of Handsome Yacht
S,soiar to tho EVENING NBWs.

SVSCVut y ~ " Az"
Keyport, July 16:@ack Vree-
land, the sixteen-year-old son OF
Mrs. Emeline Dew. Vreeland, OF
First street, who was on the Ill
fated yacht. the Romer, which was
destroyed by a disastrous fire on the
Staten Island sound of Mariners
Harbor early Saturday morning, ar
rived homo yesterday. Jack appar-
emily is none the worse for his ex-
perience, but he expresses himself
by saying he would Just as soon not
have been present, as 1t was very
trying to witness the magnificent
craft burn and not be able in any
manner to save 1t.
Mr.. Vreeland stated that after
leaving the harbor at Keyport they
proceeded without any mishaps until
about 1 o'clock Saturday morning,
when the vessel ran her nose into
a mud bank off shore OF Mariners
Harbor. After getting their bear
ings and not being much acquainted
with the channel, he stated hat the
engines were stopped and they de-
decided to lay to for a short time.
About twenty minutes to three
o'clock A. M, while he was seated
in the main saloon with the captain,
Charles Conroy, the owner, Miss
Gertrude Fowler, and her lady
guest, conversing, the cry Of fire was
given by a member Of the crew who
was below, the fire being In the en-
CINE room. Immediately all availa-
Bile fire extingulshers were brought
into play upon the advancing deyas-
tating flames. The siren on the
yacht was constantly sounded Tor
assistance.
A large tugboat, apparently be-
longing to the Standard OH Com
pany, passed by without offering any
assistance. Stored In two separate
tanks aboard the vessel were 500
gallons Of gasoline. The flames con-
tinued to gain Roadway and the SIT
uation was getting might precious
for those on board.
Realizing the hopelessness OF
subduing the blaze, the next propo-
sition was to escape from the DOOM
ed yacht before the exploding gaso-
line tanks would blow all into eter-
nifty. MI. Vreeland managed to get
the small motor tender alongside
| with the aid Of the captain and Miss
Fowler, her maid and guest left In
this. On leaving the side Of the
burning boat the motor In the small
boat refused to work and MI. Vree-
land, by turning the engine over
mechanically by hand, propelled the
small craft out of the danger zone.
His hands tell the story as the Bills
ters due to his exertion are very
visible. The captain and crew es-
capped in the yawl, after which the
captain was transferred to the
motor tender and they reached shore
in safety.
/ 1t Is said by witnesses that only
one tank Of gasoline exploded and
when the upper woodwork and large
awnings which were spread took fire
the whole sound was Illuminated
and the flames consuming the beau
tiful craft produced a wierd n
awe filing spectacle.
The loss Is partly covered by IN
surance. The direct cause OF the
fire is apparently unknown.

CLOSE CREEK
At MATAWAN

Keyport, July 18.-There will be
a public hearing before Colonel
William r. Rossell, chief Of Corps OF
Engineers, United States Army, IN
the Odd Fellows hall, borough OF
Matawan, at / o'clock Friday az
ternoon, August 8, for considering
plans OF the New York and Long
Branch Railroad Company to change
the course of Matawan creek, and
to construct a culvert under an en-
bankment, as q substitute for n
open channel of the creek.
Those interested in this matter
are invited to attend this hearing
and submit such statements and ar
guments as they may desire.
AS all papers will be laid before
the Secretary Of War for his deci-
sion, it will perhaps best suit any
ones purpose to submit In writing
whatever they wish to present.
1t is thought that there will be
no strenuous opposition to the rail-
road company's plans, as the creek
at that point Is no longer navigated
and quite shallow. A half a century
ago large freight sailing vessels
passed by the point in question and
did an enormous traffic in produce
from the Middletown Point, but OF
late years the creek at that point
has been practically abandoned for
commerce and to filled In the long
~trestle work there Of the New York
and Long Branch Railroad Company,
would be advantageous to all pat
rons of the road greatly adding to,
the safety Of travel.
