PARENTS AND TWO CHILDREN I
Among Those Who Lost Their Lives by
Overcrowding a Small Sailboat The
Parents Dragged to Death by
Their Frightened Little Ones.
Ocean City, MA., Aug. 10. Soven por
soni, among them four I'hllndolphlans,
wore drowned yesterday by the upsetting
of a boat on the Isle of Wight bay, seven
miles north of this plaeo. The doad are:
William H. Storrs, of Philadelphia; Mrs.
Laura Storrs, his wlfo; Idn May Storrs,
aged 14 years, and Kvn Storrs, aged 11,
tholr daughters; Myrtlo Stovons, nged 16;
Linn Hall, agod 10; Lulu Hall, aged 14.
The unfortunate victims of tho accident
wero members of a party of nine bent on
a pleasure trip to Grey's crook, a branch
of tho buy, where a number of farmers
had arranged what Is known ns a "fresh
fry," with fishing, bathing and othor
amusomonts. Tho party wbb under the
dlreotton of William Hudson, who had
taken thorn out in a small pleasure boat
which scarcely afforded accommodation
for half their number.
When about two hundred yards from
shore, In wator about seven feet doep,
Hudson attempted to tack, probably for
the purpose of returning. Tho boat heolod
so that the women In the party became
frightened, and two of them sprang, with
oroams of terror, to the windward side.
This caused tho boat to luroh ovon worse,
and all hands becoming frlghtoned the
craft was quickly overturned.
Mr. Storrs, who, though he had but one I
hand and was blind In ono eyo, was an
expert swimmer and succecdod In getting
his two daughters on tho bottom of the
boat. Ho thon swam to his wife, and was
making his way to tho boat with her
whon the two children became frightened
and again sprang Into tho water. Reach
ing their parents they again olasped them
about the neck and all four sank together.
Hudson placed tho two Hall girls on
tho overturned craft and swam to tho as
lstanco of Miss Stevens, but beforo ho
could reach her she too disappeared bo
ncath tho waves. Llna and Lulu Hall,
In tho meantime, had followed the exam
ple of tho llttlo Storrs girls, nnd either
fell or jumped Into tho water. They wore
also drowned before assistance could
roach them.
Hudson and two young ladloa who wore
also In tho boat wero rescued by a fisher
man. The body of Mr. Storrs was found
soon after the dlsastor, und thoso of his
wife, his two daughtersand Miss Stovens
wero found with the aid of a seine. The
others havo not yet been recovered.
Mr. Storrs was marrlod In this neigh
borhood, and yeurly brought his fumlly
down for a two weeks' outing. They wore
very fond of acquatlo sports, and spent
most of their time boating and fishing.
Hudson, tho skipper, protostod to Mr.
Storrs against tho party crowding Into his
mall boat, which oould only comfortably
carry fourpersons. Storrs answered: "Oh,
there Is no danger. Tho water la shallow;
wo are closo to shore, and tho wind Is
light."
The bodies, whon recovered by tho
searching parties, presented a horrible
sight, particularly that of Mrs. Storrs.
Crabs had enten the flesh from her f aco, ex
posing her teeth and oven the roots of her
tongue. The ends of tho fingers of all had
been eaton away, and their eyes had dls
appeared.
Before entering the boat Mrs. Storrs
took her husband's gold watch, over a
hundred dollars In money and their rings
and other valuables, nnd tied them in her
apron. She was tightly olutchlng tho
bundle In death.
