SAILOR HAS NOVEL RIDE.
Ill, He Is Swung Ashore by Conl
Scoop and Taken to Hospital.

Prom the New York Press.
Joseph Kagle, able seaman. has sailed
around the Horn, lodged coral reefs in
the West Indies, and taken free rides
in the breaches buoy when the surf was
beating his ship to bits, but recently he
figured in a feat without precedent in
the annals of the sea.
Kagle, suffering from pneumonia, was
swung ashore in a coal scoop from the
schooner Allen Curley. anchored on Nc
Williams dock, in the East River, Long
Island City.
When a physician diagnosed Kagle's
illness, the mans shipmates said they
could take him ashore in a tender and
send him to a hospital. The physician
said such a ride might cause death.
The captain was wondering how ne
could get the stricken man ashore when
a 'Iongshoreman pointed to a big crane
on the dock.
The crane was lowered until it hung
over the schooners deck and Kagle put
in the scoop shovel. In that continuance
he was swung to the dock, where an
ambulance from st. JOINS Hospital
awaited him.
