While climbing the rigging, Fred Truman, 21 years old, a seaman aboard the Annie 
C. Bowden, a schooner, lost his balance yesterday afternoon when the vessel was 
near Old Point Comfort and fell to the deck, where he received internal 
injuries.
Capt. Luther H. Chase of the schooner secured a launch and brought the injured
