~ An ACCIDENT occurred AT Saugerties On
Monday last which likely TO prove fatal to a
party of PLEASURE who were returning from an TX.
cursion on Esopus Creek or Lake in what Is termed
Segar Boat" One OF the floats or "segars"
loosed plnnk and filled instantly, capsizng The
boat in 10 feet water and sinking her all but the
other float A skiff that happened 10 be ncarrescued
the party.
This is a fair specimen Of TIC unirncss OF these
segar boats for service, and espccialyas STEAMBOATS,
the least lmpcr;tc;on in of the floats will admit
the water, and thus by sinking one side cause de-
rnngement of the machinery II not co lapse OF the
boiler and destruction of nll on bourd.
There is nothing safer Than the ordinary hull
which al ways maintnns it, equilibrium even II sunk
TO the waters edge and we nope that tie gar
experiment which has proved so futile may never
az ain lie revived nor cOu0tenanced even Tor minor
purposes. iExpress
