|v STRANGE ACCIDENT OF SEA. Himlu Fireman Wiwhnl Overboard and Back on Ship Again. ' Gul Mam ud is a Hindu fireman working in the engine room of the steamship Indra, which arrived in port last Tuesday. It is evidently not Mamud's fate to be drowned at On August 12 a giant wave struck the Indra and Mamud, who was walking on the forward deck was washed overboard. The next wave , caught him, hurled him over the aft rail, and he clung on until the hip's carpenter dragged him aboard. When reporters boarded the Indra they were told of the fireman's trange escape, but they smiled the miles that comes with years of experience in gathering news from the far east ships. Nor would they be ?'? - .?vvu mav v?u Otui y WOO CI UC until the ship's log was brought out by Chief Officer Stafford. The Indra, which came here via Gibraltar and Boston, was in 3 6.42 N. and 30.39 W., 1,300 miles from the American coast when she ran Into a blow that sent the sea crash, lng over her deck. At 8 o'clock Mamud was standing by the forward rail on the starboard side, feeling his way to the fo'castle. Suddenly the bow dippel into an enormous wave and Mamud was swept clear over the rail Into the boiling sea. The next moment the Indra lurched so far to starboard that her rail dipped into the foaming water. Mamud has come up. His hand touched something. He closed it, and the next moment his left arm was nearly pulled from its socket. He caught the rail and was being pulled along by the Indra. John Henderson, the ship's car- ~ penter, sprang to v/here he saw something black clinging to the rail and pulled him In, half drowned and very badly frightened. The Indra is 420 feet in length. From where Mamud went overboard M ~ to the point where he clutched the rail, is a little more than 200 feet, end had not the Indra lurched to starboard with the wave that wash- a . ed the Hindu off his feet, Mamud rever would have been saved.?N. Y. American. ss The Western country has given * up its most prized treasures to the ^ John Robinson 10 Big Shows Com- * bined to perfect the organization of $ the wild west deuartment of this gigantic organization, which will be here on Thursday, October 26, x Ever since shows have been shows ? and tentend aggregations have been * the chosen caterers of amusements j there has been a distinction between * ring shows and the wild west shows. * With customary progress and again as a criterion for the others Maria- * ger John Robin has this sesaon sue- # successfully cemented the two gTeat * American attractions. For the first * time in show history patrons of the * John Robinson Show w.il be permit- * ted to enjoy the most diversified ^ program that was ever arranged * for their entertainment by the pre- * senting of both the wild west and i J , the unequalled circus performance, under adjoining tents and to en- * joy both of which there will be # no change of seats nor any ad- * var.ee in the pfice of admission. * So gigantic has been this undertak- ^ ing that other show-men have shud-j* dered and made ell kinds of predic- * tions but they were wrong and Man- ,Jj ager Robinson was more than right * for the inovation har, not only been $ a success as an added department jJ| but has more than given satisfac- * tion to the thousands of patrons * who have enjoyed it. ? The wild west show as given with * the John Robinson show has all of * the features that have other exhi- J bitions of this nature popular. Both s? the old and the new western coun- * try will be seen as it used to be ^ and as it now is. The struggles of j * the early settlers to the western el- * dorado and in doing which so many J lost their lives will be truthfully * portrayed. Manv of the battles * fought then will be fought over ^ again for your entertainment. The I * Indians, cowboys, Mexicans and soldiers will let you see how the (* war was waged on the frontier. The i # sports, pastimes, games, contests; * and vocations and in fact a day's ^ life in the west of the present will | * be shown by the cow<boys, cowgirls * and western characters generally. ^ The John Robinson show has with it over 100 Indians, cowboys, * cowgirls, scouts, plainsmen, pioneers and western characters and the per- i > formance they give is not only in- j J tereeting but decidedly Instructive .3, as well as educating. Many of the, > Indians are chiefs who have made * Indian history famous. They are j .> the true Indians and not these who ! have lost their individuality in civ- ? ilization. One of the appreciated ! > features is the Indian settlement > where the Indian and his family ? may be seen as he truly is in all * 0 of his grandness and just as Rem- * ington has so often pictured him. In the settlement will be seen the ^ Indian and his squaws, his cute lit- j * tla nonn/tooa q ??A A - * ? *. ??v niiu UIUUCO U1 WttHUIC J and houselife if such can be desig- X nated to these tent dwellers. In the wild west arena he is seen j In buffalo hunts, battle, as a trap- 5 per and woodsman. Little can be ? learned of the Indian from the * tales of fiction for he must be x seen to be fully understood. It is ? doubtful if a better opportunity was J ever afforded than with the John I Robinson show for there has been ? nothing left undone nor overlook- J ed in order to truthfully show In- X dlan life and customs. It would nor ? be out of place to say here that * tne wild west show is but one of ths J many departments with the Robin- 4 son show and it is part of the one + great program and to see which Is no extra charge for it is given J In connection with the other de nortmnnto ai*a ^ A ? l* ~ *Ka ?8? bolder to every department of this j big show.. * ymmmmrntmmam????? ?
