I TOMATO SAVES HIS LIFE With It Castaway Farm Hand Bails Boat For Twenty Nine Hours. - ROCHE8TER, N. T May 21. Edgar L. Brown who was blown across Lko Ontario In a recont big stona In a, flat bottom punt, walked the gangway ot the car ferryboat On tario at Charlotte at 5 o'clock a few days- later and was oheered by half the population of tho Tillage. The famous boat was on the ferry and waa Immediately claimed by Michael Burns, a farmer, who owns It. A aelghbor offered to give Burns and ta boat a lift home In his wagon. "Not on your life," Bald Burns: "tkat bot haa a record now and It wonia bo a disgrace to It to put it cm a wagon. I'm going to row It arouad to tho rond tomorrow." Noither JJrowo nor the punt show ay 111 affects of the wlord experl ieo. Brown says ho entered the boat In Round pond about 7 o'clock Monday morning He fell asleep and ' whoa he awoke half an hour later, waa nearly out of fight of land. From thoa until he landed on the Canadian const, three, and one-half miles from Grafton, about noon Tuesday, he was mostly In the bottom of the craft balling for his life with a tomato can. His clothing was soaked In the first hour at aea. and was sodden wtfen he landed Ho says the waves looked as tall ai church steeples. Didn't Do Any Thinking. "What did I think of?" echoed Brown, when asked about Tils experi ence. "I simply couldn't think. Ev ery faculty seemed concentrated in that tomato can. It was only Al mighty God that brought me through. Man alone could not have survived. 1 suffered from cold tenlbly and the exercise of balling undoubtedly pre vented me from succumbing from exposure. "I tried to use the oars, but saw tf was lmpossibla to make headway ajrainat th winu. The only course epen to mo was to go. with the wind p. id keep her afloat until I was blown to tho other shore. "I alternately rowed and bailed all floy. At nlrsht I stopped rowlntr and bailed all night. About 10 o'clock Tuesday mtrnlng I looked i-r from balling and saw the blue hd".e nt the Canadian shore. It was blow ing a galo then. Tho wind was southeast when tt started, but aftor 'ward blow from tho so.uth. I got '-near the land about noon. "Tho boat was swamped several rods from shoro and it took my last ouneo of strength to got her in and pull her up on the land. I collapsed, bnt managed to hang onto the paint er. Got Pood nt Farm Honsc. "When I got so I could walk I made my way to a farmhouse, whore I got food and dry clothing. I had eaten nothing sinco supper Sunday evening." Brown rested a llttlo while and then walked to Cobourg. He was too weak to finish tho seven miles to his wlfe'B house in Port Huron on foot and went by train. Mrs. Brown had heard nothing about hlB being blown out to sea but his first thought wbb that she would havo heard It and he wanted to relievo her mind. A lotter announcing hla sup posed drowning reached her brothor the night of Brown's arrival In Port Hope. He was n hero in Port Hope and thb Canadian papers of tho sec tion wore full of tho story of tho sixty-two miles voyage across the lake. "I'll got him and the boat n good rmgagemont at a show house In Ro chester," former Village Clerk John Keon proposed o Brown's employer, P. J. Rlgney, when tho hero was being congratulated in Charlotte, "Thoro's a plough out on tho farm that Just fits Edgar," Mr. Rlgnoy said, decisively. "Come on honie, Edgar." Brown laughed and started for the farm. He Is a self-possessed but aaodest chap, 37 years old. His well knit form Indicated the strength that carried him through the ordeal. Brown went to tho place where ho landed, near Grafton, Friday night and rowed the boat ten miles to Cobourg, to got it aboard tho forry.
