Had it not beau for tbs timely Arrival
f the steamer Glenola. 40 young people
of Portland would have been forced to
spend the chilly hours of last night In
the shady glens of Swan Island. .
The Gloria was chartered yesterday
afternoon to carry a pleasure party
down to the Island and return. Just as
landing was being effected the steam
Mr Harvest Queen cane passing by. And
the swells she created almost drove the
pleasure launch out on dry land. The
members of the crew set diligently to
work, however, and had almost succeed
ed in getting the craft back into deep
water when the Hassalo went gliding by
at the rate of about 10 knots An hour.
All the work of the crew then counted
for naught. The little Gloria waa
oaught by a monster wave and waa
borne high and dry on the beach, where
she remained.
As the vessel weighs something like
H tons. It was beyond the combined
strength of the members of the party to
budge her from the elevated position to
Which she had been driven.
Night was coming on. and the pros
pects of the shivering young men and
women began to take on a most gloomy
aspect. They began to recall the hard
shins of Robinson Crusoe, and bravely
endeavored to resign themselves to their
fate. No axes were procurable, or It 1
said that they would have set to the
task of building ways on which to place
the craft and slide her down Into the
water.
Just as they had about abandoned all
hope of being rescued, the good steamer
Olenola hove In sight around the bend
Signals of distress were soon flying
from the little isle, and the Olenola re
sponded to the call. A line was then
made fast to the steam launch, and she
waa soon pulled out into the element oil
which she was built to sail. The 40
stranded people lost no time in getting
aboard, and they reached Portland be
fore the night was far advanced. The
party was given by Chester Walton, and
all praise the captain of the Olenola for
going to their rescue.
