LAKE BOAT SINKS;

NETONkA,
PASSENGERS ARE NARROWED
Women and Children Landed On
Swampy Island Just in Time
Henrietta Goes Down in
Dash for Port.

Excelsior, Mimi. Twenty-three
passengers, most of them women and
children, were landed on an island in
Lake Minnetonka just in time to save
them from drowning when the big
launch Henrietta began to sink. A few
moments later the vessel settled in
eight feet of water
The boat sprang leak while plying
between points on the upper lake. The
pilot, Robert Smith, Immediately put
on all the power possible in an effort
to beach the craft, while the passen-
gers. in a state of panic, prayed for
safety.
While the boat was filling with wa
ter 1t was brought alongside an island
near Seaton station, and the passen-
lers leaped over the sides to the solid
dash for the station. Water poured in
SO fast, however, that the boat slowed
down decidedly and finally capsized.
The island where the passengers
were landed is swampy. The passen-
gers. many of them women and chill
dren from Seton Guild cottage, situat-
ed nearby, were marooned for nearly
an hour.
Passengers Rescued.
Relief boats were finally secured at
Seton station and the maroOned pas
sengers were taken off the island.
The Henrietta is owned by George
Nordley, resident of the West Arm.
1t is about seven years old and is said
never to have been in an accident be-
fore.
The LEAK, 1t was found, was due to
the fact that packing about the rudder
post came loose. The boat is now be-
ing raised by its owner and will be re-
paired.
At the time of the accident the Hen
rietta was endeavoring to reach Seton
station to land those aboard in time to
catch the 1888 train over the Great
Northern.
Smith, who was at the wheel in the
bow, heard noise aft and, going back
to investigate, found that water was
pouring into the boat. He put on all
power and made for the island.
The launch at that time was midway
between Seton Guilds cottage at the
lake and Seton station
A small island in the midst of a
swamp was the only available spot for
Bleaching the boat Smith headed for
the island.
It was after landing the passengers
that he decided on dash for Seton
station. The boat sank in about
feet of water while on this dash,

All Classes Represented.
The Lowry statue, the work of Karl
Bitter, is gift to Minneapolis from
several hundred of the numberless
friends Mr.. Lowry left behind him
when he died six years ago last Feb
ruary. Some of those friends whose
contributions are represented in the
figure unveiled are rich and gave lib

but little.
But by those who have scanned the
roster of those whose contributions are
represented in the figure, there is
found in the long list of names a SYM
Dol of the character OF the man in
whose memory this statue was rear

of men from many walks of life. For
Thomas Lowry was of that free, DEM
ocratic spirit which embraced all men
in his friendships.
