SA VANN AH LINER
SAVES SIX LIVES'
FROM TINY RAFT
Atlanta Man Witness
to Rescue of Storm-
tossed Sailors.
By F. 8. HARTSHORN.
Mr. Hsrt.horn is a bookkeeper st the
Piedmont hotel, who loft recently for
Boston on the steamer Nacoochee. He
write* The Georgian s vivid narrative
of the reeoue of eix sailor, from drift
ing raft, in a heavy „a.
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 sinking
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 oiling 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 Aptaln had gone
down with his ship.
The Nacoochee, Captain Howlett, of
the Ocean Steamship Company, left
Savannah for Boston last Monday af
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 Sptek Sighted.
Nothing out of the ordinary occurred
until we reached Frying Pan Shoals,
at 9:90 o’clock Tuesday morning. Then
the watch in the bow sang out: |
"Raft 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 hoard
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 crew of
the Nellie Floyd. The rescue of the
shipwrecked men was no easy task, tor
the sea waa 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 experlenc,. The schooner
Nellie Floyd was bound ’ from New
York to Savannah with a ettrgo of
coal. On Monday the schooner met a
heavy gale and her cargo shifted in
the hold, rendering her unmanageable.
Her masts were cut away, but still she
listed until the heavy seas ran over
her decks and It was evident that she
could not last out the storm.
Captain 8ink, With Ship.
The crew lashed several of her
hatches 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 ship and no entreaties could per-
suado him to embark again on the
rafts. Bonn 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 Mutthewson ’ 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 3:90 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
rafts had drifted apart, one carrying
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 Officer
Nelson and the bravo men who accom
panied him on the rescue In a small
>oat. The passengers of the Nacoochee
are as proud of tho rescue as though
they had taken a personal part In It.
Tho storm on the coast must havo
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
aves, a menace to every vessel on
tho seas. There was no sign of lire on
board her and the Nacoochee made no
stop. She will be reported at Boston
and tho government cruisers will watch
for an opportunity to destroy her.

A mass meeting In the Interest of the
strikers was scheduled to take place
Just beyond the city limits in South

point the crowd marched. After the
meeting, where several speeches de
nounclng the street railway officials
were made, the crowd marched back to
tho center of the city and aa the march
continued the crowd swelled in num
bers. Strict orders had been Issued by
Chief Conner to arrest all who made
use of the word "scab," and knowing
the severe penalty awaiting In Judge
Nottingham’s court, few there were
who used the word and no arrests were
made.
No little excitement was caused
about 10 o'clock at Fourth and Mul
berry streets, when one of the crew on
k passing car flashed a gun and Im
mediately there were loud cries for the
man's arrsst.
Tonight another mass meeting
scheduled to take place in East Macon,
Just outside tho .city limits, and a large
squad of police will be on hand at the
city line to meet the crowd when the
meeting Is over.

ATLANTA VERY DRY;

traffic will not be in good running order
again for about two weeks, and many
of the salpons In the city will never
again open their doors.
ThW vletory waa that of the people
over the single Interest of one class of
citizens whose business waa deemed
detrimental to the public weal during
the present crisis.
Although the fact that the city would
lose money, that the city would be
financially inconvenienced, that the
move was radical and that the saloons
were not wholly responsible —If at all
—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 a
continuance of the stormy times which
linvo swept over Atlanta prevailed.
If the movement was radical, argued
le supporters. It took radlci ‘
ire the radical conditions.
If the movement would financially
embarrass Atlanta then It was better
to be financially embarrassed than
morally ao.
Committee's Report.
The fight was launched by the police
committee, which mode the follownlg
report:
'Resolved, by the mayor and gener
al council. That each and every license
to sell whisky or beer, wholesale or re
tail, which has heretofore been grant
ed by tho city of Atlanta, be and the
same is hereby revoked.
• "Be It further resolved, all person*
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 throe
days In The Atlanta Constitution, At
lanta Journal, Atlanta News and At
lanta Georgian, and a copy of said ad
vertisement shall accompany each ap
plication. That upon the filing of said
application with the clerk of council
then the same be Immediately trans
mitted to the chairman of th* police
committee.
"That the special committee to whom
said applications are referred shall hold
open sessions In the council chamber,
beginning with October 2, 1908, 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 rule* were then suspended and
Attorney Reuben Arnold recognised.
Reuben Arnold Explains.
Attorney Arnold opened his address
by saying: "I wish It understood that
am representing the several liquor
men who have come to me and asked
mo to put their case before the coun
cil.'
He then further explained that he
was making the fight as an attorney
representing his clients. Ills argument
woe 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 closed as
long a* It was deemed necessary, but
that the revocation of license would do
the saloonkeepers a gross Injustice. He
stated that It was laying the crimes
committed during the riot on their
heads, and that It was accusing the
saloon men of being lawbreakers and
ptaklng them prove that they were
not.

that the Interest of the homes was at

Louis Gholstln said that the manu

house, when he declared: "We must
do the most good for the moat peo-
pie."
Joseph E. Maddox stated that the
report was not Just to the saloon men

Attorney Benjamin Phillips argued
that the committee was proposing to
