Twice-TOld Tales of
Washington
The Cruise of the Lotus

All was confusion as the launch
came up, and the cries OF the iOUn-
deTing mon and women caused con-
Sternation among the eEcursiouists.
Some Of the victims held tightly
to the overturned launch. The
steamer was unharmed.
At the time Of the crash one Of
the men was at the wheel. one was
in the engine room, one was asleep.
and the other two were with the
girls.
Those in the cabin struggled wild
~ to escape as the water rose in the
room One OF the men seized a
woman about the waist and brought
her TO the side of the steamer as
the other tried in vain to swim to
the launch. A deck hand saw the
man and woman struggling to-
Eether and threw them a buoy He
then dragged them up the side OF
the boat and to the deck When he
Eripped the man about the waist
the woman slipped back into the
water and to death.
Three other men were drawn up
the side Of the boat, while a crew
Of hands rescued the fifth man.
The shrill blasts on the Anglers
whistle brought several other
launches to the scene. and for near
ly an hour a search for the bodies
OF the girls was conducted.
The launches Boamer Uno and
louise \. assisted in the work. OF
attempting TO recover the bodies Of
the victims.
The police boat Vigilant drag
ged the river for the bodies. which
were found later.
One Of the men had been caught
IN the paddle wheel Of the steam
er and revolved with Il Until its
movements ceased; then he was
taken into the boat, alive
The grand jury never rendered
a verdict in the case. and il stands
today just like it did a few
weeks afber the accident UIti-
mately e., will be forgotten. but
many WashinEtonians remember
how they wondered over the fact
Of five men being saved while two
women were drowned
The crash ended a picturesque
career. for the launch which had
been a figure on the river for
four years before its disastrous
ending.

The Overeating Habit.

Of health, now that John Barley
corn has been laid low. The '.physf-
cal morality" Of Herbert Spencer
awaits a more general understand
ing and acceptance.
All life has a moral basis. All
violations Of the laws of health are
physical sins. We are really not
at liberty to treat our bodies as
we pleased, for the physical disor-
ders due to bad hygienic conduct
lnhict evil consequences on our de-
scendants as great as those due to
crime
Simplicity in habits Of eating Is
a Doyerful aid to purity Of life. Dis
unEuished hygieuists have held. not
cynically. but in, real earnest. that
correct habits Of living are as eff
cacious as prayer.
Most Of Us have no desire TO be
saints bUt we do wish 20 feel. think
and act naturally. to be possessed
OF good mental and bodily health
and to achieve something worth
while in the world Clean living
with regard to food will go as far
toward these ends as PRAYER. ac-
cording TO the Scientists. and. after
ALL the laws governing the health
tul performance OF the bodily func-
tions are as much the laws of God
as are those governing the soul.
There is religion Of the body as
there is religion Of the soul. The
most complete and perfect Iabora-
tory in the world. the human body.
should be thought Of as a temple
in a very real sense-the temple Of
health.

~. the night OF May 26' l9l-'
the gasoline launch, Lotus,
- with FIVE men and two
women as passengers, started on its
return to Washington, after a trip
TO Marshall Hall, Nd. at the same
time the excursion steamer Angler
left the wharf here on a trip TO
Motley Hall. Nd. 1t contained a fun
crew and hundreds or passengers.
At Shepherds Point they met. Each
pilot saw the dark shadow OF the
other craft directly in front Of him.
too late 70 avoid a coIliion. The
big boat struck the launch amid
hips ana shattered il. The two
women were drowned in the wreck
age. All hve OF Jhe men were
saved.
Tetimony introduced at the hear
ing OF the coroner, following which
two OF the men were held for action
and Investigation by the grand jury,
when it had been intimated that
such an order was to be issued by
the District Attorney, placed all
blame on the passengers of the
Lotus.
It was said that the women, one
aged twenty and the other twenty
one. joined the launch party just
before leaving Marshall Hall and
laughiRgly refused to give their
names.
The fatal night, ii was brought
out was brightly illumined by
moonlight, and the river at the
point OF the accident, was particu-
larly wide. both circumstances be
ing in favor Of a clear passage. but
fate held the cards and guided the
craft into each other.
The second officer of the steamer
saw a dark object ahead which he
at first thought was driftwood. He
blew three sharp blasts OF his
whistle before the crash came.
Apparently those on the launch
did not see the larger boat until the
smash came. IT quickly capsized.
Life buoys were thrown to the
i've persons struggling in the water.
