WEDNESDAY, AFKIL ?2T, 1S93, Drowned i? The Harbor. Mr. Jj. L. Martin Drowned W7u7e on a Pleasure Sail. A sa?l'fcoat, in whick there were Cul. I Koos Livingston, attorney for the Charleston-, Sum-ier and Northern R?fc- | rea<$, $fr. L. L Martin, chief olerk to { General Manager J. II. Averill and purchasing agent of the line, and a ^t?gvo boatman named Frank Capers, -.ipsized off White Point Garden on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Martin .was drowned aod'Ool. Livingston and 'the? negro Capers ware only saved by .ire timely arrival upon the scene of the fag boat Otto, eoajtssnded by Capt. Jobo Joaselli. Col. Livingston gives ?She - following aceount of the sad cat?s? trofe. Col. 'livingston said that General Manager Averill, Mr. Martin and him sekicameto Charleston Tuesday after won oa business connected with their ?Toat?. On Wednesday the three gentle? men took dinner together at Charleston "Hotel, Col. Averill leaving the other two gentlemen during the course of the meal. After leav'm^ the table Mr. Marti? said t&at he wished to take his* sister, who happened to be ia town, out for a sail and asked Col. Livingston would he not go along. Col Livingston Sold him that he was not much of a sailor, but finally consented to* join the party. Tbe two geotleaco walked threogh tbe Market to the wharves and bega? looking for a beat. A negro ?rhos tfcey spoke to told them that be ! *eoald procure them a boatrr^n. He; (brought ao-egro aaoed Frank Ca pets, ^bo-, together with bis partner, Francis, ?o-wo boats and are accustomed to take .parties out sailing in the harbor. Mr. Martin asked Capers was be competent '.o batidle the boat, and the negro as? sured him be was. The two geekle .men got in the boat below the Custom 'House and began their sail down the 'harbor. They desired to land near JLqgaa street, where Mr. Martin expected to find bis sister. They tried to make Lawton's boat house eff South.; Battery, but wheo they -rounded the-: point th-ey foaod the grater running\ .high and the wwi pretty brisk and i txather squally, and were unable to do j ?so. After beating about for some time j A krodiag -was effected, but by this i rtioe it was so lats that Mr. Martin 0e5er?ised B-ot to go after his sister, aascf proposed that they should go back alone The return trip was begun with Capers managing ?he tiller and Ihe main sheet, while Mr. Martin was ?olding the jib sheet. When the boat was almost directly off the angle of the Battery Col. Livingston says he heard ! Jibe- eegro carico <ir. H arila io slacken fi 'his sheet. The next .thing he knew -was tb&t the boat had tamed almost wover a-ad was beginning to Hil rapidly with'water. Ail three of tba occupants clambered np on the high side as fast aa they could, but this dio not succeed sn righting the boat, wL-ich sank gradu? ally. As she weat down they began calling together for help to a tag which ; fthety 8*w A feJ7 hondred yards away, i ^When the boat went ?own Col. Living- ! .atoa says all three sjen strack out for : Alie tug, the ne^ro Capers continuing ; rto shout for help. A few moments | later Col Livingston aeard "Mr. Martin I say either "I cau*t s'yira," cr ";I can't-j ,awim aoj longer.'' =ge called to him j to torn on his back and try tb ?oat, but ; rho did not do so. ar:d an instant later ; -sank. f=e did not.rite again. While \ %he was continuing io struggle with the i waves Col. Livingstoa saw a part of the ; .boat above the cater and he and the i negro succeeded in returning to it. It | furnished ttesn support long enough j -for thom to catch breath. and then ? ?Saaxiy disappeared. Thc struggle in th? j ?water was begun again. Finding that I he could support himself no longer Col. [ Livington called to Capers for help, but : the negro paid no attention to him and j swam off for the tag, which was then \ approaching them. By a last effort:j Col Livingston succeeded in turning I himself on his back, and succeeded jni ?oa'iog for a short time with the wav ?.s ' washing over his head, and in the fear j that each of tb^m would wash him below : the surface. When he saw that the j negro had been picked up by the tag : . Col. Livingston began to swim again ! but could nut .make much .headway. ; ,ifust as his s?reng?h was almost com- ! .pleteiy exhausted in d he bad given upi ihope a rope was thrown to him from'i .the Otto, aad an instant later he was j .dragged os board. The captain and j .erew a5 onee applied .restorative treat- . .jnent, and in a few moments he was '. .able to speak. He told them there was [. another man in the party, and urged ! them to a.;tempt to^ave Mr. Martin, j The Otto wailed around the scene of the j ^catastrophe for sometime, -but-?nally | .ali h^pe of re-cuing thc unfortunate J .gentlemen had to be abandoned. .Col. Livingston was landed at ^Chisholm's Mill, ?here he was taken ! .charge of by Mr Colson and his wif . j This Lady and gentleman did every I thing in their power for him, and he ; remained at their houie until a carriage j .could bc -?ent for him from the hotel. As soon ss po??:b]c; after returning to i tho fectcl Coi. Livingston went to the ' .residence of Mrs E. L Lawton. 7 j Logan street, where Mi*s Martin was 1 Staying, and requested the ladies of thc ; house to bresk the sad news of her j brother's death to th* you-ng lady as ' gently as possible. Mr. Martin's grandfather, acco?apa a ted by his daughter-; n !a;v Lad i arrived in the city Toeeday from a trip ! through Fiori-ia Mr Martin, Sr, wa stopping at the Charleston Hotel, while his daughter was staying in Lr?gan ; Street. As Mr. Martin is a very old ; gentleman it was thought advisable not j to tell him cf his grandson*s death until ho had reached home. Mrs. Martin. ?is daughter, was told of the accident < yesterday morning. Mr. Martin, jr. ' loft the city for the North at 5 o'clock : .yesterday morning, and was still in : .ignorance of the dea"h of his grandson, j Mr. L L Martin wa3 chief clerk in tho o8L:e cf General Manager Averill aud also purchasing ag?-nt of the Charles- I ton, Sumter aad North [Railroad. Lie was about 25 years of ag? and a native of Philadelphia Ile was a brother of the Mr. Martin of the firm of J Post. Martin & Co, of New jjiork, wh<> are large shareholders of the Charleston Stutts? and Northern Road. He wa* : ,i loost popular young etan, of marked ability and K? k a bright fut ore betu-e him.. lie Lad ms-ny friends in Chaxles .-ton and ia other parts o? the Siatu ?;->\. J U. Averill had gone up to j ^tuisme ville duri ig the afternoon, hut I response to a telegram notifying bim of the accident. :Ho was much affected by the death Mr. Martin and bas offered a reward of ?50 for the recover? of the young mao's body Col. livingston speaks in the highest terms of the kind? ness which he received from Capt John Joaoelli and his crew. Capt. Joane?i Urst reported the ac? cident to The News and Courier about 8 o'clock Wednesday evening. Fie says ho was corning" tsown the river towing a rafe when he saw the flaw strike the boat. He immediately cast off his tow and steamed to the rescue of the drowning men. As he came near ho ?*aw a mao, whom he afterwards learned was Mr. Martin, clinging to the mast of the boat before it weut under, Mr. Martin, he says, appeared to be supported by the sail. As this became saturated with water it settled down ?nd Mr Martin went down with it. He threw heaving lines to Mr. Livingston and to Capers and got them safely on board the tug. ^r. Livingston was very much exh-a?sted, but soon recover? ed. After cruising around the wreck f jr some time in search of the lost mac, and not being able to find any traces of him, it wss concluded that he was drowned, and the tug was immediately .steered to West Point Mill as stated above, where Mr. Livingston was put ashore and where a carriage was called; to take him to the Charleston Hotel. : The search for the body of Mr. $Iar-: tin was bega-n early yesterday morning. Col. J. H. Averill employed two boats and put. them to patrolling ths harbor and Ashley Uiver. As the tide was; oo the flood when the accident happen? ed it wa? believed that the body of the young man mightwpessibly have floated up the river act? lodged somewhere along the ban&s of the Ashley. Later in the day Col. Averill chartered a steamer aad that took up the search for the remains of the unfortunate young mao. iUp to a late hour last night, however, tbe body hail not been, re? covered. Some persons:have suggested that it was possfbie that thc body bad been carried down with the sinking boat, but this ? scarcely .probable, as Col. Livingston is convinced that Mr. Martin waa clear of the boat whea she sunk. fphe search -ifill be kept ^p for some days. A num-! ber of volunteer parties -searched for the*"body yesterday, arid will continue to do-so. Col. Averill will have the steamer search the waters of the harbor and river for the next two days. If the body did not lodge somewhere on the shores it is feared that it was carried out to sea with ebb tide Wednesday night. Mr. George Martin, of Philadephia. will arrive in the city to-day,, and will himself probably aid in looking for the body of his unfor?u-nate brother. If it should be recovered the body will be taken to jphila<!e,phia .for .intsrnient. Mrs. Martin, the .sifitcr of the dead young mao, witt remain in the city until all hope of recovering the body is abandoned. Messrs C. JJ. Martin and C. ?sli?lard, of?oia?s qf the Charleston,-Sumter and Northern 'Railroad, are in the city aid? ing -Col. Averill in.his .search for the remains nf the yojing man. Coi. iCoox Livingston remained in the city yesterday. He is greatly exhausted from the eiTec s of the terrible experience through whick ho passed, but he jsill Lc himself again as soon ji? be can secure some-much-needed rest.
