Norman Warnor, Jr., of tho yacht Ripon Girl, we gloan the following facts: ia boat left Dartford about au hour before tho storm, and wastowed into the lako by & row- boat, Whou they started there was no air stir- . Lha folloviug named persous were in tho Ripon Girl when sho loft the landing: Capt. Norman _Warnor, J.

Willinm Blox- am, wifo and child, and Mrs. John Beird, four, took the row-hoat and starled on shoad of {he yacht. Within five minutos from tho time this chaugo was mudo tho heuvy black cloud was notical. Warner, fearing a storm, lowored alt his sails, and gave ordors to sll in tho bont to {ako seats in the Lottom and keep porfoctly ‘quist, Tho tornado struck the yacht aud ahmost litted it out of tho water.” 'The tirst heavy wave throw {hreo or four barrels of wator into tho eraft, yet the heavy wind drove itover tho Inko with torriblo spued. As they shot past the craft containing the four who had Jast loft, they saw thom clinging to tho capsizing row-bont, It is supposed that fho noxt wave looscned thoir thL and lefy them to sink. Warner's boat was drivon to the shore, noar Cullings Landing, with such forco as to throw sovernl of the parsongers over the bank. Those with Wamer unito in saying that hio neted with great courago.
