= ACCIDENT on LAKE TAHoE.-The
Carson Register Of this morning gives
the following account of an accident
which occurred on Lake Tahoe last
Saturday. A party Of ladies, married
and single, from Carson, had been at
the lake some three weeks enjoying
themselves, and at the time Of the
accident were on board the little side
wheel steamer Governor Blasdel,
crossing the lake to Sugar Pine Point.
The Register says: The steamer lett
Pray's Bay at 8 o'clock Saturday
morning, and when about an hour out
and near the centre of the lake, n Of
the young ladies started from the bow
of the boat back to the cabin, a China
boy with u baby in his arms, following
close after her. Crossing the centre OF
the boat, and about fifteen inches
above the deck, Is the large Iron shaft
connecting and driving the paddle
wheels Of the steamer. Inside OF the
boat Is a cam or curved plate fixed
upon the revolving shaft to hold 1t
steady and keep It In its place. As
the young lady stepped over the shaft
the China boy crowded so close upon
her as TO cause her dress to catch upon
one of the projections or cogs Of the
cam. Instantly the dress commenced
winding around the shaft, and the
young lady, with wonderfully. quick
perception and great presence OF mind,
comprshending the danger at a glance,
attempted to break loose by tearing
her dress from her, but the garment
was of stout material and thoroughly
lined, and her efforts were In vain. A
general screaming was commenced,
but the engineer, who was ait at the
time, thought the ladies were only
"cutting up" as they had been all the
morning; but o second scream brought
him to his feet, and on seeing the
situation Of the young lady, he sprang
over the heads OF those who stood be-
tween himself and his engine, slapped
on the break and stopped the shaft in
stantly-cuttinS off the steam q mo-
ment a%fterward. Meantime the young
lady's dress had been wrapped around
the shaft up to her waist, she had been
doubled up, carried over backwards,
down upon the deck, under through
abe l5-inch space between the shaft
and floor, and up again to the top or
the shaft-on which she was sitting,
tightly bound, when the machinery
was stopped. Her left hip and el6ow
were found to be badly bruised, ner
left arm somewhat lacerated. and her
dress considerably torn. As soon as
the Young lady could be released sne
was taken to the cabin and properly
cared for by the other ladies.
