One of his feet was badly crushed, and he was cut about the head. The section of the bridge that fell was a draw, thirty feet long. jt was built of wood, and rested tin the center abutment, from which point another section continued on the ISr.klyn side. Thc draw on the R rook Im
side was open. It was low tide, aivi a
tug was trying to force a schmner through the draw. It was a few minutes before 11 o'clock, when the hn.Ije was crowded with men from iicur-liy factories anxious to get to their homes
in liroolclyn. Suddenly there a a
cracking of timWs, und the draw
broke in two. The men' made an effort to get olT. but the jam on the
shore end of the bridire nrev.nt..l
their making their escape.
I hey fell into the water in a hean
and then commenced a wild slrtiLvle
for life. Some climbed on to the
wrecked draw, while others som-Lt safety in swimming for the shore. A passing tug picked up a number anl landed them on the Drooklyn si.le, where they were attended by surgeons from Kiboklyn hospitals. Thu work of rescue was a dilli.-uit one, as there were no small boats a! hand. Hopes were thrown out to son
of the men, and they were hauK ashore In that manner. During the work of rescue there were some live.?
scenes In the water. Men struggled
with each other in their frenzv tot-
cape. Some were hauled under water .. i . , , . , . . .

they were trying to assist.
Thomas Dobbins, of Meeker avenue,
Drooklyn, reached thc scene in a roiv-
boat in time to save four men who
were ou the point of sinking. Th
captain of the schooner rescued over a dozen men. He got away before his name or that of his vessel could Ix
learned.
After striking the water the drawbroke into two parts, and in an instant both were covered with men. Some
managed to climb up clear of the wa
ter, while others hung on to keep their
heads uliove water. It took considers-
bla time to get all the men ashore. As fast as they were landed they wert taken to Toner's Pennvbridge hotel
and filled up with stimulants.
Many of the rescued had clo-e calls
and for a long time after they were
iirougiit asiiore tney were unable t
tell how they got there. The wrecked draw had not been used In three
weeks, owing to pile drivers working
on it
iirmgeKccpcr mniel liiclccy was on the Laurel Hill side when the accident occurred. He said it was due to th?
overcrowding of the bridge. He satd that he had frequently warned the
men not to crowd on the bridge, ah it
was dangerous to do so, but thcr paid no attention to his repeated
warnings. He could not account for
the Iraw breaking in thc center.
as it was made of heavy timber, calculated to hold almost any weight. Mr.
tlicKcy iioes not believe that anvone
was drowned. He said that the watel was only nine feet deep at the time
and as the men fell into the water
within about ten feet of the shore all must have escaped. Several of the men said that they saw nt least five
men sink, and did not see them come
to the surface again. William Fagm
and Pat McNamara, of Meeker avenue. Drooklyn, both had narrow escapes. They do not know how they got ashore, nnd say they came near drowning. The search for bodies was kept up till a late hour but none were recovered.
