Explosion Causes Panic and Two
Leap Overboard.
While returning from Irvington to
Urbanna Wednesday night a launch
with about 35 persons aboard got out of
order just off Towles Point. The man
running her was at work on his engine
with a lantern near when escaping
gasoline caused an explosion and set
the boat on fire. In the excitement
Miss Janette Carter Dudley. of West
Point, jumped overboard and Mr.
Clarence G. Gray, of Saluda, followed
to keep her from drowning and they
rcmained above water at least an hour
for they could be heard hollowing back
"still safe." Nothing more was heard
from them and from that time (11
o'clock) up to 2 o'clock Thursday

them. But little hope of their evi
reaching shore is entertained.

slightly burned, but not serjously.
