the two survivors of a yachting partv
of seven nnd tin* notva nf tlio wnr?t i
yachting fatality that Long Island
Sound has known fti years.
On hoard the Cortrudc were Mrs.
Waljtcr J. Sprankle. of Philadelphia,
and Jatues Stanridge, while caught in
the sunken wreck of the yaeht Yen\
ltzin, off Captain's Island, there were
uhc bodies of Artlmr T. Colhurn. u

and owner of the yacht: his two
lighters, Annette ar.d Ida Fl'.zahcih;
/ptain Flint, of ltrooklyn. the skip/r
of the Yonitzia. and an unknown
Jtoilor. J
/ Stanridge was t'.ie steward of the Ve- |
nltzia. When seen lie told of the awful
experience from which he and Mrs. '
Sprankle were the sole survivors, it.' j
1 hintnes Captain Flint for the accident,
and lie says he knows Mr. Colhurn ad- J
vised the skipper to lower everything
hut the Jil> and jigger some time hit- I
fore the squall struck the Vonltz'a, ,
I but Captain F'.iiii declined to ?i" so.
"We left Delaware City," said Stan- j
riilge, "with seven persons aboard, i
The party consisted of Mr. ColLum. J
his two daughters, Mrs. Sprankle. i
Captain Flint, Fred (the sailor), and
myself. When we were out in I.ong j
Island Sound all sails were set. and.
with sheets well siarte I. we laid a '
course up the Sound.
"While busy preparing dinner T
heard the party aft discussing the 1
condition of the weather. Mr. Col-I
burn said ho thought a squall was j
brewing, and 1 am sure that he nil- |
vised the skipper to shorten sail."
The rest of the story is not quite so ;
clear In the mind of the steward. I

thrown oft his feet, scrambled to the 1
forward eomnnnlon way to see what
had happened.
lie had hardly reached the hatch i
when he heard tne agonized screams '
of the women In the cabin. Captain j
Flint, who was at ihe wheel when the
squall struck the boat, was 91 111 at
his post, while m ar him were Mr. (Job
lnirn and the sailor hand. They were
all bewildered, and did not know
which way to turn for safety. The
starboard side of the yawl was hurh d
deep In the water, which was rushing
into the cabin throttvh tie* open doers j
of the after-eompanlonway.
The screams of the women cent in- |
tied, but tlie steward was unable to |
