Survivors said the launch was not
too much crowded for pleasure, but
the guests had to sit rather close to-
gether. 1t was when Mr.. Aston had
given instructions for the return to
the Tuscaloosa wharf that the acct
dent occurred.
I'm going to put about" Capt.
Antonio warned the guests; "every-
body hold on to something. If you
haven't anything to hold to, hold to
each other,' he instructed. The cap
tain gave the wheel smart turn,
and so sharp was the turn that the
weight Of the guests was shifted to
the port side. The launch immedi-
ately listed, carcened, then turned
completely over, and its SO passen-
gers were sent struggling into the
swift current in midstream.
The few swimmers struggled val
iantly to aid those to whom the
river meant nothing but death, for
the swimmers were few and the wo-
men and children many.
Owner Worked Hcr0ically.
Mr.. Allen reached the shore with
one little girl, and, not waiting for
skiff, struck boldly back for the
scene Of the disaster. The confusion
that followed hindered the work Of
those who were able to render aid.
A few grasped life preservers and
thus kept afoat. Several others
seized the upturned keel Of the boat
and were saved In this way. Mr.. AL
ston was making his second trip to
the shore with little girl when he
became exhausted and was rescued
by skiff that had come out from
the shore.
Postmaster Clabaugh owes his life
to three little girls, Misses Jerome
Kennedy, On:e Jones and Myrtle
Birchfield. They are all between 1
and IA years Of age, and swimmers.

Perry Wright, a boy survivor, an
expert swimmer, leaped into the
river as soon as he saw the boat be-

shore with all his speed, and then ran
to nearby point, where there were
several skiffs tied. He yelled the

10 GO DOWN TO THEIR DEATHS
On Alabama iNvcr-PIcasuro B0nt
Turns Turtle and Sinks.

Tuscaloosa, Ala, June 15.-Nine-
teen persons, mostly women and chill
dren, were drowned, and twelve 9TH
ers are missing, as the result Of the
oyerturning Of Il pleasure launch on
the Warrior river near here late to-
day.
Tho vessel, containing 53 persons
had been running up and down the
river for more than two hours, car
ryinE the youngsters and their
friends from Tuscaloosa as the
guests Of Sam Aston, a local capital
ist, who, since he bought the boat
had been sharing its pleasure with
his townspeoplc. At point near
Holt, manufacturing suburb, where
the river is about a quarter of a mile
wide and its channel IS feet deep,
the vessel turned over.
The launch the Mary Francis, was
believed to be tho most seaworthy
ship on the river, and was supposed
to have a passenger capacity of GO
persons. Some observers asserted
tonight, however, that she could not
safely carry that number, and that
the SO persons aboard caused the
vessel to turn turtle. She was equip
ped with life preservurs and was COM
manded by Capt. Antonio, an exper-
fenced river man. This was the 4th
or 9Th Sunday her owner had given
pleasure rides.
Mr.. Alston was rescued after he
had exhausted himself in saving his
guests, and physicians tonight said
that he was in a serious mental con-
dition as result Of the tragedy. An
other man rescued was Sam Cla-
baugh, postmaster at Tuscaloosa.

SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18th, 1910.
NONSTOP FLIGHT MADE ACROSS
Ocean by British Airmen-LantIcd
at Clifdon, Ireland.

London, June 15.-Capt. John AL
cock and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown,
in their Vickres-V Vimy biplane, landed
| at Clifden, Ireland, this morning,
completing the first nonstop air
plane fight across the Atlantic. Their
trip from st. Johns, N. f., was made
in 16 hours and II minutes.
The landing was made at $40
o'clock, British summer time. In
taking the ground the machine was
forced to strike heavily, and the fu-
silage ploughed into the sand. Nei-
ther of the occupants was injured to
any extent.
Ambitions Goal Reached.
The final goal Of all the ambitions
which flying men have ventured to
dream since the Wright brothers
first rose from the earth in heavier
than-air machine was realized this
morning when two young British
officers, Capt. Jack Alcock and his
flying mate, Lieut. Arthur w Brown,
landed on the Irish coast after the
first nonstop flight across the At
lantic ocean.
Their voyage was without acci-
dent and without unforeseen Incl
dent. 1t was straight-away, clean
cut flight, achieved in 16 hours and
12 minutes--from New Foundland
to Clifden, Ireland, distance of
more than nineteen hundred miles.
Bnt the brief and modest de-
scription which comes from the air
men at Clifden tells Of an adventur-
Gus and amazingly hazardous enter
prise. Fog and mists hung over the
North Atlantic, and the Vickers- Vimy
biplane climbed and dove, struggling
to extricate herself from the folds Of
the seaplane's worst enemy.
She rose to 1900 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface Of the
sea. and at times the two naviga-
tors found themselves flying upside
down only ten feet above the water.
Before coming to the earth near
the Clifden wireless station Alcock
circled the wireless aerials, seeking
the best spot to reach the earth, but
no suitable ground was found, so he
Glanced 1t in n bog The wireless
staff rushed to the aid Of the aviators.
They found Brown dazed and Alcock
temporarily deafened by the impact.
AS soon as they were able to be es-
corted to the wireless station they
telegraphed the news to their friends
and then had breakfast
THAT is the best way to cross the
Atlantic,' said Lieut. Brown, after
he had breakfasted.
