Cried When Ho Camo L'p.
A large , : t?:::<?blle on the
ferry l?oat Maine t- Mealy started to
rim wild and 1 ill rough the for
ward gate j>i a.; tin- w .? el was en
tering its lip J.ist Twenty-third
stiect, Now Voil; div, and, with Its
clian (Ten r i'l at the wheel, went over
hoard Info tho K.Jft river.
The nia? hiue kno 1 >'.1 down half a
oxen . nu ? on th;> boat and car
ried one <>f t hem overboard with It
THE CAll I'LTOOED INTO THE WATER.
The chauffeur anil the unlucky pas
Render were both fished out of tlie wa
ter. The auto remained at the bottom
of the East river.
There were three men besides the
chauffeur in the ear wheu It hoarded
the ferry at the foot of M road way,
Brooklyn. The machine was run
; through to the Iwv of the vessel,
i Although the engine In the automo
bile was still wnrkkjg, the power, of
course, had been turned off from the
running gear. Everything went well
until the Maine as it started to enter
Its slip humped into the comb, the long
line of piles which extend Into um
river and act as guides for Incoming
boats.
What happened after that was too
quick for any one to see clearly. In
some manner the power was thrown
on full.
Tho machine darted ut the heavy
chain spread across the front of tho
deck like a football player plunging
into an opposing line. Flvo men who
were leaning against this chain were
scattered about like ninepins. Two of
them were thrown over the obstruc
tion; the others were pushed aside.
Seeing their danger, the three men in
the auto Jumped out of the machine.
But the chauffeur stayed at his wheel,
trying tt> shut off the power. His ef
forts were useless."
With a loud snap the heavy chain
parted, and. the automobile tore into
the Iron lattice gates. The automobile
gained Inch by inch as the gates were
forced open. A dozen men shouted to
the chauffeur to Jump. Heedless of (
their cries, Nolan bent over the con
trolling gear, tnggiiig at It. Women I
screamed, horses lined up Just behind
the automobile pranced, and men
Bhouted and offered suggestions.
"I will help," shouted John Oleson, a
carpenter of 310 East Twenty-ninth
street, as he caught the rear of the car
and used all his strength trying to pull
It back.
Finally the Iron gates parted. Freed
of this restraint, the car shot forward
again and plunged Into the water.
Oleson, who had taken a firm grip
on the back of the auto, was carried
with Nolan and the machine In the
plunge. It all happened so quickly
that Oleson had no time to release-hls
hold.
Attracted by the cries of the passen
gers, Captain Williams of the Maine
had the power reversed to keep from
running down the men in the water.
Gasping and spluttering, Nolan and
Oleson bobbed to the surface within a
few feet of each other.
"Where Is the automobile?" cried the
dazed Oleson, who did not seem to
realize Just what had happened. Pas
sengers who had crowded on to the
frout of the boat were compelled to
laugh in spite of the seriousness of the
affair. A dozen men who were on the
pier. Including several ferry hands,
jumped Into the water to aid the two
men. Both Oleson and . Nolan were
able to swim a little, and they struck J
out for the pier. Ropes were thrown
overboard, and the rescuers, with the !
men 011 the pier, got the men out.

he was taken home In a cab.
One of the passengers on the ma
chine, evidently the owner, gave de
Bon n twenty dollar bill In reward for
his efforts to save the auto a? well aa
to pay for his ducking.
