the plot above the tower are four trees laden
with fruit, with representative ottir.ons of
1 ! celestial land, enjoying themselves with-
their grateful shade. The tower is hex
agnunt and slightly pyramidal. At each
ilge In u round suppnrl, running from top

main portion of the structure, which consists
of beautiful lace carving. Each story is en
circled above the capping of the next lower
story by ii railing, similar to the fence, mid

suspended as inaiiy hells. The exquisite

The Mohawk IHhiimIci*.

Colonel Crosby, 'whom tho Herald
|*ortor met ut tho (lamer mansion, gave
the following thrilling description ol tin
death-Htrugglo on the ill-luted yacht
o pm tv who went out on tho yticlt
Thursday eonsislod of commodore
and Mr*. Garner, Mias Adole Hunter,
Miss Edith Muy, Mr. Gardner Howland,
Mr. Dud*Moiitunt, Mr. Front Thorn,
brother of Mr*. Garner, and myself.
Wo took tho Mohawk'* steam launch
from the yacht club house and went on
lmnrd the Mohawk about ludf-past three
o’eloek. A* soon a* wo got on board the
commodore gave tho cnpluiii directions
to get under way. At this time tho
Mohawk was lying at anchor, with her
fore anil maiutopsuil, staysail and jib
set. There/va* every nppenranee of a
squall coming «p from the westward.
J tint a* wo hroko the anchor, and us the
vessel was iduying off, but before wo got
under any lieudway, the rain began to
fall very heavily, which drove the whole
party of ladies and gentlemen who were
the deck into the cabin. In alamt
oe or four minute* wo felt that tho
squall hud struck us, and very heavily,
too; foi tho furniture in the cabin began
to move down to leeward. When com
modore Garner, Mr. Thorn, Mr. How-
hind and myself ran up the gangway to
tho deck to’see what wiih tho matter we
found the bout making no headway, and
with the water running ovor her lee-rail,
and running down Imtli into tho cockpit
and thrmigli the lee skylight* into the
cabin. Commodore Garner and I iin-
diatly jumped into the cabin, where
heard the Indies calling for help.
Everything was in the wildest state of
confusion. All tho sofa*, Hotteo*, chair*
and table* had been thrown over to tho
IcchUIo, and overturned, and water wa*
pouring in through the forward hatch
way, and from the Hide light* on the port
side and from the cockpit. Tho first
person I saw wns Ml** May, who wa*
still in an upright position, clinging on
to lira fireplace. I crept along to where
*ho was, and caught hold of her, and we
made our way over the general wreck of
cabin furniture until we got to tho after
hatchway; hut the vessel being on her
beam ends Mis* May was unable to get
up tho stop*. I pushed her up through
the opening, where Mr. Howland gal
lantly tOMOUed lifer, ho being at the tune
ut tlie entrance of the cabin opening. I
immediately turned round nnd made my
way through the water, which was then
nearly waist deep, to the *ido of Mr.
Montant, who was struggling to remove
the sofa that had been t hrown ovor on
the leesido, covering both Mr*. Garner
and Mis* Hunter, who were loudly call
ing for help. When I reached them
Mr. Garner hud hold ol Mr*. Garner by
tho right arm, and both she and Miss
Hunter were begging that they might
he relieved from the weight that was
holding them down. Mr. Montant and
I succeeded in getting tho lounge to the
after hatchway, where we pushed it up
to Home one on deck. I then lost Higlil
of Mr. Montant. Returning to where
Mrs. Garner and Miss Hunter were, 1
still found Mr. Garner holding on to
Mrs. Garner’s arm and both she and
Miss Hunter still begging to he released
from this weight that was holding them
down. 1 caught hold of Mis* Hunter’s
hand—in the iiieuntimo the water was
rushing in from all sides—and tried to
pull her out, tho water lasing nearly up
to her neck, she being wedged in only a
few feet from where Air. Garner was in
the same position. In trying lo pull
her out my hand slipped, and I fell over
backward in the water. When I re
covered myself tho water Imd completely
covered her. I then went to Mrs. Gnr-
icr’s assistance, when Mr. Garner rx-
luimed, “Hchuylor, for God’s suko try
and help me pull her out.” I caught
hold of her left hand and arm, Mr. Gar
ner still having hold of her right. In
the meantiumi sailor, who with Mr.
r and myself were tho only men
the cabin, tried to remove some
of the furniture that was evidently hold
ing her down, while Mr. Garner and
myself pulled as hard as we could to
extrleato her, but to no purpose. Just
then the vessel seemed (ogive an extra
lurch, and tho water washed all over us.
This was the last that I saw of Mr. and
Mrs. Garner alive. I half pushed, half
swain to a light spot, which proved to
he. an opening cut by the boatswain
through one of the side lights, and crawl
ing through the hole I found tho sailor
who Imd been in Lira cabin with me just
before me. We both swam to a small
boat that had three men in it, but in
trying to get in this boat she wns
swamped, ami us she eame bottom up I
citing to the keel, together with the
other man, until I saw a boat from the
Droadnatighl approaching, wlileli I swam
over toward, when an oar was thrust
out hy one of the sailors, which 1 grab
bed hold on. They pulled me into the
boat in a very exhausted condition. I
would like to say hero that grand credit
i* due to both eaptaiuns Osborne and
Osgood, of the Dreadnought and Phan
tom who were promptly on the ground
and rescued many lives; also to the offi
cer* of tho Connies* of Dufferin, who
rendered very valuable assistance. I
am too much overcome hy this over
whelming blow, whereby I have lost
such dear friends, to feel that I can
dispassionately give tin opinion ns to any
criminal neglect on tho part of the cap
tain, Rowland; but in my opinion he
deserves the greatest censure for the had
judgment lie displayed in having
a boat, with the immense spread of
canvas that the Mohawk had, with every
sail set and sheeted home while riding
at anchor when there was a thunder
storm apparently coming up from the
west, although it struck as we were just
paying off, and which proved the utter

the world, and caused the loss of
many valuable lives.
It h said that the last word* of Mr.
Garner, when the water poured in upon
him, and a sailor reached through tho
broken skylight of the deck and caught
him hy the hand, beseeching him to
come out, was: “No, I can’t go ; I must
stay hy my wife.”
