SAVANNAH LINER
SAVES SIX LIVES
FROM TINY RAFT
Atlanta Man Witness
to Rescue of Storm
tossed Sailors.
By F. 8. HART8HORN.
Mr. Hartshorn It a bookkeeper at tho
Piedmont hotel, who left recently for
Boston on the steamer Nacooohee. Ho
writes The Georgian a vivid narrative
of the rescue of alx sailors from drift
ing rafta In a heavy tea.
Oft Montauk Point, Sept. 20.—Six
shipwrecked sailors, standing knee
deep In waterlogged rafta and tossed
through a stormy night In the rough sea
off Hatteras, have Just been rescued by
our ship, the Nacoochee, of the Savan
nah line.
Saving themselves from the alnklng
schooner Nellie Floyd, they have been
drifting since yesterday afternoon, the
rafts sinking deeper and deeper be
neath the waves, their bodies growing
weaker with every hour of exposure,
their spirits falling with every ship
that passed In the ofBng without seeing
or heeding their signals of distress.
When they were taken on board the
Nacoochee they were half dead from
their terrible experlenc. These six men
were all that were left of the crew of
the Nellie Floyd. The captain had gone
down with his ship.
The Nacoochee, Captain Howlett, of
the Oeean Steamship Company, left
Savannah tor Boston last Monday at- l
ternoon. When we cleared Tybee Light
and steamed Into the open sea we met
rough weather and a choppy sea.
“Must have been pretty rough off
Hatteras,” remarked Captain Howlett
“We'll meet some wreckage yet Bet
ter keep an eye open for derelicts.'
Floating 8peek 8ightsd,
Nothing out of the ordinary occurred
until we reached Frying Pan Shoals,
at 9:20 o'clock Tuesday morning. Then
the watch In the bow sang out:
“Baft on the weather bow,"
To a landsmen's eye there was noth
ing in sight but a tiny speck that rose
on a swe.ll and disappeared again be
hind the waves. But the glass showed
something moving on the speck and
Captain Howlett rang the signal for
the Nacoochee to lay to. A boat with
First Officer Nelson and four sailors
was lowered away and pulled rapidly
toward the bit of floating wreckage, as
It appeared to be. It returned with
four men who were hauled on board
and rapped In blankets to restore their
numbed bodies. It Is cold off this coast,
even In September.
Hardly had the Nacoochee resumed
her course than another raft was sight
ed. Mr. Nelson and his crew again re
sponded and succeeded In rescuing two
more sailors, also a part of the c
the Nellie Floyd. The rescue
shipwrecked men was no easy task, for
the sea was still rough after the storm
and the boat tossed In a way that
threatened to swamp It.
The rescued sailors told a story of
fearful experience. The schooner
Nellie Floyd was bound from New
York to Savannah with a cargo of
coal. On Monday the schooner met a
_ gale and her cargo nhlf
the hold, rendering her unmanageable.
Her maets were cut away, but el
listed until the heavy seas ran over
her decks and It was evident that she
could not last out the storm.
Captain 8!nks With 8Hlp.
The crew lashed several of her
batches together and made rude rafta
They made several attempts to leave
the sinking schooner, but the rafts
were dashed against the wreckage and
barely escaped being smashed. After
several attempts Captain Matthewson
announced his determination to stay by
his sblp and no entreaties could per-
suade him to embark again on the
Soon the frail craft succeeded
In getting clear of the nearly sub
merged vessel and drifted away. In
less than an hour the Nellie Floyd went
down. Captain Matthewson staying
with her to the last.
Standing knee deep In water and
with waves dashing over their bodies
and threatening to sweep them from
the hold, the crew stuck to the rafts
from 3:80 o'clock Monday afternoon
until 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning.
They lashed themselves to the rafts to
keep from being swept away. When
the long night had passed the two
four men and the other two. Though In
the track of coastwise vessels, they
feared that they would sink before a
passing ship might be hailed. Several
steamers and a sailing vessel passed
early In the morning but the men were
unable to attract attention and were
In despair when the Nacoochee caught
their signal of distress.
Too much honor cannot bo done to
Captain Howlett and to First Offlcer
Nelson and the brave men who accom-
inled him on the rescue In a small
jat. The passengers of the Nacoochee
are as proud of the rescue as though
they had taken a persona! port In It
The storm on the coast must have
been severe. We passed a derelict
Tuesday morning, a big lumber schoon
er laden with lumber. Her masts had
been cut or carried away and she drift
ed and wallowed In the trough of the
waves, a menace to event vessel on
the seas. There was no sign of life on
board her and the Nacoochee made no
stop. She will be reported at Boston
and the government cruisers will watch
for an opportunity to destroy her.

caused much apprehension among the
farmers, who are unable to assign a
cause for Its sudden appearance In this
"^Several prominent planters here have
closely watched the cotton flelds In

ATLANTA VERY DRY:
MAY BE TWO WEEKS
BEFORE SALOONS OPEN
Continued from Page ,LL-
traffic will not be In good running order
again for about two weeks, and many
of the saloons In the city will never
again open their doors.
The victory was that of the people
over the single Interest of one close of
citizens whose business was deemed
detrimental to the public weal during
the present crisis.
Although the fact that the city itould
lose money, that the city would be
financially Inconvenienced, that the
move was radical and that the saloons
were not wholly responsible —If at alt
—for the events of the past few days
were all cited in divers ways and the
arguments driven Impressively with
eloquence by men of Influence and .af
fluence, the determination of the peo
ple to wipe out the possibility of i
continuance of tbo stormy times which
have swept over Atlanta prevailed.
If the movement was radical, argued
the supporters. It took radical means to
cure the radical conditions.
If the movement would financially
embarrass Atlanta then It was better
to be financially embarrassed than
morally so.
" Committee's Report.
The light was launched by the police
committee, which made the follownlg
report:
"Resolved, by the mayor and gener
al council. That each and evety license
to sell whisky or beer, wholesale or re
tail, which has heretofore been grant
ed by the city of Atlanta, be and the
same is hereby revoked.
“Be It further resolved, all persons
desiring a renewal or continuation of
license thus revoked shall make "
cation under existing ordinances
renewal of license. That an Intention
to apply shall be published for three
days In The Atlanta Constitution, At
lanta Journnl, Atlanta News and At
lanta Georgian, and a copy of said ad
vertisement shall accompany each ap
plication. That upon the filing of eeld
application with the clerk of council
then the same be immediately trans
mitted to the chairman of ths police
committee.
"That the special committee to whom
said applications are referred shall hold
open sessions In the council chamber,
beginning with October 2, 1903, at such
hours a* shall be appointed, and shall
proceed and make their recommenda
tions on each petition. . . ..
"That all licenses granted shall ex
pire with June 80, 1907.”
The rules were then suspended and
Attorney Reuben Arnold recognised.
Reubsn Arnold Explains.
Attorney Arnold opened his address
by saying: "I wish It understood that
I am representing the several liquor
men who have come to me and asked
me to put their case before the coun
cil.
He then further explained that ht
was making the light as an attorney
representing his clients. His argument
was based along the line that the move
ment suggested by the committee was
entirely too radical; that It was all
right to keep the saloons dosed as
as it was deemed necessary, but
the revocation of license would do
the saloonkeepers a gross Injustice. He
stated that it was laying the crimes
committed during ths riot on their
heads, and that It was accusing the
saloon men of being lawbreakers and
making them prove that they were
not
Dr. Whits Dsfsnds Report.
Dr. John E. White was the next citi
zen to take the floor. He said the
report expressed the sentiment of the
people; that the Decatur street dives
must be cleared out; that they were
admittedly the cause of the attempted
assaults of the last few months, and
In a few words told of the meeting of
citizens.
W. E. Newlll made a strong plea for
the passage of the report He stated
that the Interest of the homes was at
stake and that the saloons should be
closed until a decision could be reached
as to which saloons should be wiped
out of existence.
Louis Gholstln said that the manu
facturers and others In that class were
standing the heaviest loss and struck
the keynote, which brought down the
house, when he declared: "We must

P> Joseph E. Maddox statsd that the
report was not Just to the saloon men
and argued against It.
Attorney Benjamin Phillips argued
that the committee was proposing to
the council Just what every one was
now up in arms about—punishment of
the Innocent.
H. Y. McCord, Major R. J. Guinn and
L. C. Hopkins all stoutly argued for
the adoption of the resolution.

Capote Makes Threat.
'The American commlslsonars have
shown marked partiality," he said.
They have not regarded these men ns
rebels, but have simply treated with
them as an armed force In the field.
Never before bss ths American gov
ernment treated with rebels. It was
not done under the McKinley admin
istration In the previous Cuban revo
lution. It looks much as though the
American warships were here for the
urpose of backing up the rebel cause,
'he American navy Is not the only one.
Other nations also have large Inter
ests In Cuba, and It would be easier
for us to precipitate the Intervention
of some other government than that of
the United States. What an easy
thing for us to destroy the property
of British or German subjects, and
quickly we would see here the war
ships of those nations.”
The Implied threat to use dynamite to
blow up American and other forelrn
property made by Capote was openly
made by the more hot-headed Moder
ates.
