He died there when the boat sank last night, having stayed at his post and held the boat’s nose against the j shore until the last of the 50 passen- I gers, most of them women, were i helped ashore. O’Neil’s act Is practically a realiza tion of the martyrdom of Jim Blud soe, famed in the poem as the steam boat engineer who held her nose to the bank till all were saved, then was burned to death at his post. A dance was on when the Peters Lee struck a sunken coal barge. A hole was tom in her side. The cap tain ordered the pilot to steer for the shore. The boat struck the mud. and officers and crew began taking off the passengers. Frank O’Neil in the engine room kept the stern wheel, churning while the water poured into the hold. A negro shouted through the en gine room door that the boat was sinking. “I know It!” shouted O’Neil. “You fellows get on up front where you can get off. I’ll hold her nose against the shore!” The last passenger was safely land ed when the boat sank in 40 feet of water.
