Experiences he- fell sailing and launch parties which will be remembered till dying days. even though they be removed a bun- dred years. Row boats and small sail boats were piled up along the shores in this vi» clnlty almost by the dozens and that no lives were lost hercabouts seems little short of miraculous. At least one party of five young men who set out froth the Washington street bridge yesterday morning on n blackflshing expedition were sure that they were experiencing their last ten minutes.

Gumhait Director of The Travel Club Paris ‘ ' August 20.. 1900'" it was accompanied by a testimonial of gratitude from his fellow~travslers for his efficient guidance of them through Europe and‘ his unselfish thoughtfulness. This was signed by Mrs. John H. Ferrisphfrs. Sarah iii. Ilpson. Miss Mary‘ A. Cunningham. Miss Margaret McClure. Mrs. Margaret Lauder. Miss Margaret Lauder and Rev. Charles S. Macfarland. of South Norwalk. and also by Rev. and Mrs. D. C. Egglcston, of Sound Beach. Dr. Gumbart sailed August 21 from Cherhourg on the steamship Philadel- phia; to get home in time to get things in readiness at the High school. Most of the party salt from Liver- pool September 4, but Mrs. Lauder. Miss lander and Miss Cunningham will remain longer in Scotland. All are writing to their friends on thusisstically of their trip. especially of the visit to the Wagner opera at Bayreuth for Parslinl. and Dr.’Gumbnrt comes in for a large share of praise in making the tour unsuccessful and comfortable.

The party started out in Harry Fox‘s .iib and mutant] boat and in ad- dition to the owner the party was made up of Araliuo Ghiotto. Frank Fox, Ernest Mailhot and Harry Tobey. Their expertonco was a moot harrow- tag on and they were ”manila . the as. or new Manned land. "‘ ' While they were fishing about four miles of Oookcnoe Island the approach- ing shower was notiood and they pull- ed up anchor and started to. Each m0- ment brought more danger for the mind came on gory quickly whipping up the water til the Sound and form- ing dangerously big states. As the gate increased in fury. th a party real led the futility dtf’atyt'empuug to sail with full canvas and tried first to haul in their Jib, but this proved an impos- sible feat without cutting the lines. They then attempted to get in no main- sail and their combined strength failed to bring it down. The boat all of this time was pitching and resting in the soothing waters and being tossed around like a cork. Then came a gust of wind worse than any of its pre- decessors and the boat went over. With the shower now doing its worse, the five men were left strug- gling and holding on to the rigging with all of the vitality that was left in them. They are all hardy young awn, or s more. serious story would be bold. They had a skiff attached to the stern. and when the storm calmed down a. bit. they were able to cut this away and all got in it and started for Oockonoc Island. the nearest land. Continuous danger was their fate all of the way in but by halting the boat. which was partly full of water all of the time they wrote able to get in safe- ly. They lost part of their clothing. but they did not mind that a little bit. The fate of the. sailboat was also immaterial to them at that time, though later it was seen: that she could be rescued and preparations were made to do this today.

A rather brought out this morning in connec- tion with the special city election which will be held from 4 o’clock this afternoon until 9 o‘clock this evening at the. regular city polling place in Havllnnd street for the purpose of ac» renting or rejecting the proceed new city charter. This was in connection with the sale of liquor during the nice tion. known. the law prohibits the saloons from doing business. Chief of Police WIIllamVollmer set out this morning to find out how he should proceed for this election. Liquor Prosecutor Wil. llam F. Tatnsmny is on a week‘s va‘ cation and the chief talked the matter over with ”user Prosecutor Isso Da- vis, who is looking after Mr. Tom- many's oilicini duties for the week. Mr. Davis looked up the statutes and came to the conclusion that there was nothing to warrant the closing of the saloons for this election. The point is that the election today is practically a city meeting and that no persons are being balloted for for office. The hours named were chosen in or- der that every voter in the city may have an opportunity to express him- self on the charter. There h been considerable discus. sion about t e streets as to the probe- ble outcome of the election. In one quarter it was believed that the new charter would be accepted by at least a. two to one vote. This revised city charter to the product of much thought on the part of the charter revision committee and was passed by the log islature with s referendum clause that it be submitted to the people before floaty becoming elective.

The iwu forward propel. lsrs were broken and one of them pierced the envelope. This caused the gas to escape. But the airship was kept up by throwing ovor but- last, until such time as the landing was made. The ship landed gently on a meadow within fifty yards of the railroad tracks here. The weather is fine and there is no Wind. It will take at least two days to complete the re- ports. Telegrams have been sent to Friedrichshafen for workmen. Inn. terlals and gas. The trouble with the propellers occurred at 6 o'clock. The fragments of one of the wheels tore two large holes in the envelope in one of the forward compartments.

The shower was also punctuated fro quentiy with thunder and lightning and it became so dark that lights were turned on in many houses. The heavy gusts of wind caused the sound to whip up into a great fury and all along the shore boats tugged at their anchors but no serious mishaps ro- ported around here. in Barton, the storm was particular- ly heavy. During its progress a born on the property of William Staffers at Noroton was struck by lightning and took tire.
