YACHT BURNS TO WATERS EDGE; 5 ON BOARD SAVED
Explosion Causes Destruction of Handsome Craft Off
 Greenwich.

Greenwich, Conn.,, Sept. l3-I1enry B. Newman a silk manufacturer of No. 470 Fourth avenue, New York; his wife, two friends and the captain of the vessel barely escaped with their lives yesterday afternoon when the yacht Eveleen II. burned off Great Captains Island in the Sound.
 MT. and Mrs. Newman were slight ly burned about the face and hands, as was also the skipper, James Nor jensen. Members of many yachting parties who were about at the time witnessed the destruction of the boat.
 Capt. Gardiner of Frank Gould's yacht Caroline lay to within 100 feet of the Eveleen II. After the yacht had burned to the waters edge and no sign of life was seen it was re- ported that every one aboard had been lost. The rumor was dispellod some time later when the quintet came into the Indian Harbor Yacht club station on the oyster boat Os- trea.
 Waves Upset Oil Stove.
 Newman and his party set out at 1 o'clock from New York for Stamford, where they were to spend the week end with friends. When they reached Great Captains Island five miles southwest of the Indian Harbor Yacht club station, heavy sea was encoun- tered and the craft began to roll heav- fly.
 Capt. Mortensen rushed to the en- zine room and MT. Newman took the wheel A moment later there was a flash of flame and a heavy north wind famed a fire broadcast across the deck. Mortensen came up and said that the tossing of the boat had overturned a kerosene stove. The men and Mrs. Newman fought the flames for a few minutes, but they found their efforts were useless and further tarrying might cost them their lives. A small power tender, the ships safety compliment, was low cred, and the five persons got in. They started to make for Stamford, but the danger was as great from the choppy sea as from the blaze.
 The party was, desperately fighting it's way through the waves, overhung by heavy haze, when Capt. William F. Mills of the oyster craft saw their danger. He came alongside, and af- ter the two vessels were made fast to each other the yachting party was taken off.
 Runs to the Rescue.
 Meantime Capt. John Nelson, light house keeper at Great Captains Isl- and, sighted the burning mass and hailed Capt. Gardner, who applied both motor and sail power to reach the distressed ship. When he arriy- ed within calling distance the only part of the Eveleen II. not in, flames was the pennant of the masthead. The yacht gradually drifted southward and in half an hour had settled to the water line.
 Capt Mills took the rescued party into the Indian Harbor Yacht club landing. where physicians were call- ed It was found that no one was badly burned, but that Mrs Newman was suffering from shock. Mr. Newman refused to give the name of his guests.
 The Eveleen II. was forty-seven feet over all and was launched three years ago.
