Ghe was rescued by Robert Koller, twenty-two years old, of No. @7 North Maple avenue, East Orange, one of her three companions in the boat, after a ‘thrilling strugsie lasting over an hour, im whioh they had no less than a dosen arrow escapes from being run down by Passing boats, whose attention they were unable to attract because of tha darkness. George Bamford, twenty-four years 014, @ travelling salesman of No. 28 Hast Forty-eighth street, and Sidney Evans of No. 110 West Ninety-frst street, were the other members of the party.

Once more they started homeward, but had hardly reached mid- stream when the engine went dead. A short pole was the only implement in the boat which was available as a pro- peller. BOAT ADRIFT AND HELPLI MIDSTREAM. Immediately on the stoppage of the engine the boat was caught by the wwitt tide and carried along at the mercy of the waves and swells from passing steamboats, Ferryboats, river steamers and excursion boats awept by, but all failed to hear thelr cries of dis- tress. A Sandy Hook steamer, as near as the members of the party could make out, passed close to them. Miss Beoker, who was hanging onto the seat in the rear of the boat, lost her hold ae the immense swell struck the mall craft and was hurled overboard. Hardly had she struck the water than she was carried out of reach of her companions. Koller, who is an expert awimmer, dived overboard and swam with powerful strokes to her sida He declared to-day that in all his experi- ence as & life saver he had never seen any one who preserved such perfect calm as did Miss Becker. Although she cannot swim, she listened to his in- structions @nd obeyed to the letter. With her one hand on his shoulder and the other gripping the neckband of his bathing suit, Koller swam with an easy stroke, making no endeavor to do more than keep them both afloat, REACHED THEM WITH BOAT AF- TER HOUR'S WORK. In the mean time Bamford worked desperately to bring the boat within reach of the pair. Much of the time he was gulded through the darkness only by Koller’s voice a# he from time to Ume shouted his whereabouts, At the end of an hour he was able to bring the bow of the boat within reach of Koller. Although nearly ex- hausted, Bramford, with the assistance of Evans, succeeded in dragging Mies Becker aboard, and then lifted Koller over the aide in @ collapsed condition, ‘Their adventures did not end there, as they drifted for several hours, in constant peril from passing steamers, Many times they were carried directly in front of passing boats, only to be swept aside when death seemed certain. About 1 o'clock they were able to put in to Pier 77, at the foot of Thirty- eventh atreet. Here they were cared for by the clerk in charge of the freight station, FRIENDS, ALARMED, SEARCHED IN VAIN FOR THEM. x Meantime. when the party did not re- turn to the clubhouse at One Hundred and Fifty-second atreet at dark, anxious friends began a search, which was am sisted by the police, along the entire shore from One Hundred and Fifty-sec- ond street to the Battery. The Johnny T., a smell craft from the Cobweb Yacht Club, at One Hundred | and Fifty-third street, waa sent out and searched the river for nearly three hours, but was unable to locate the dis- abled motorboat, and returned to the clubhouse. Later !t went to the Thirt; seventh street pier and towed the boat to its moorings, Ym an exhausted condition, Miss Becker was taken to the Grand Union Hotel.

His lordship dossn't look ike the kind of man whose spirits are affected much by fortune’s knocks, He is forty-three, but appears younger. His keen gray eyes look out from a ruddy face topped with a mop of tron gray hair, and he has a forearm that any one of the boxers, for whose benefit his Iate father made the famous rules, might envy. “Plans?” ‘the sald. "Oh, dear boy, T've lots of them—not much else, to tell you the truth, although Pm not en- tirely broke, as you say. But, seri- ously, the ‘Job,’ as you call it, that I'm here to look for, is as a mining en- ginesr.

ADVENTURES BEGAN WHEN HE WAS STILL A BOY. “But Tl begin at the beginning for you,” he went on. “I went into the navy when I was thirteen as a mid- shipmen, and later I was also in the yeomenry—the King’s Own Scottish Borderers, But my brother was the heir to the title and I didn't care for the service, so I determined to see what T could do for mynelf. “1 went to Australia with David Car- aegie in the Collgardie gold mining rush—the next big rush after Ballarat Carnegie and I landed with 90 shillings between us, and we walked 40 miles through the brush.

Poor Car- negie surveyed most of Western Aus- tralla—his maps are atill the standard ones—but he was afterward murdered. “T made about fifty thousand pounds in Australia, and then I went back to England, and the hoodoo began to work Some one suggested that I speculate tn Americans—stocks, y'know.
