Captain Myers, had just left her slip TO the north
off Pier No u for Hoboken. The tuCboat was COM

Pier no. %, but the tide and wind carried her
past, and seeing the ferrybOat the captain of the
tug thought he would pass ahead of her, come
around under her stern and steam up the river
again to Pier No. 81.
The ferryboat did not have much hcadway on,
and although Captain Myers put his helm aport,
the tide and wind swung the head Of the Orange
down the stream and she struck the tug The

was thrown TO him and he was pulled TO the dcc,
of the Orange.

few people on the ferryboat at the time of the
accident. and the whole thing w3s so RAPIDLY and
quietly done that there was little excitement on
the Orange.
When the crew OF the tug were safe on board
the fcrryb0at and the tugbOat itself had dsap-
peaFed, yellow dog was seen struggling in tie
water. His breed was pure dog, and he had
belonged on board the tug. A life-prcserver with
