The other Side.

Several days ago THE CRITIC mentioned
an occurrence between the Leary and the
Arrowsmith, in which our reporter possibly
did injustice to Captain Tull, of the Leary,
who has long been recognized as one of the
most careful mariners in this region
1t seems that ON the night in question
the Arrowsmith, instead of making stern
landing ut Alexandria, us is her custom.
made n bow landing, and the tide swaycd
her stern out into the stream, so as to con-
fiict with the Leary when she came up and
tried to land at the first wharf below. Capt.
Tull, when slowing up to his wharf, was
misled in the first place by the lights on q
sunken schooner below the wharf. When
this mistake was discovered and he
found the Arrowsmith near his bows,
his first thought was to stand out, but o
small tug was lying in his track on the port
side, and he had but u minute to decide be-
tween running down the tug and admins
tcring gentle love-tap to the Arrowsmith.
He knew exactly what he was about. With
his engines reversed, it was impossible to
damage the Arrowsmith, and the latter YES
sells injuries were so slight that its owners
declined to present the Leary with any bill.
Such little accidents will happen in the best
regulated fnmilies ..t.
