quietly at home know little Of the hairbreadth

ercse Of tho most consummate skill and cool
ness which occur on our rivers. The Guiding
Star was broken from her moofings at the New
port bridge on Monday night as already de-
tailed In our columns. The disaster was caused
by a loaded coal barge and several empty
barges breaking loose above and coming down
with the ce-gorge in such force as TO part her
cables. The night was pitch dark and the river
borne swiftly along on the angry tide Capt
Miller had left the boat q half hour before
in charge OF Mate Josh. Harrison and Pilot
Charlie Ovens and was ON his way to
the Commercial Office, when he heard the
alarm whistles at the river. and Ean
back In time to see his great steamer In mid
river battling with the ice. 1t turned out after
ward that one OF her lines had fouled In the lar
board wheel. winding itself five or six times
around the shaft. This disabled the wheel al
most entirely. In addition to this coal barge
had lodged under the starboard guard holding
such a mass of ice under and in front of 1t as 10
defy resistance. In this condition she drifted
down the river, but cool headed Charlie Owens
at the wheel and plucky Tom Henry at the
throttle valve. succeeded In heading her down
stream before she reached the y. r. r. bridge
gauntlet safely. passing through the narrow
2O0-foot span on the Ohio side. Capt. Miller. on
shore. reached the bridge ahead of the steamer
and says that Charlie rang his engine bells with
