a collision with the Athabasca, have
brought damage suit in the United
States court for $242, 800 against the
latter vessel. It is claimed that each
boat had blown one whistle, signifying

Athabascl went too near to change
their respective courses, blew two
to signify that she wished to
change and pass to the stai board.
The officers of the Pontiac seeing it
was too late to make the change, gave
D short blast of the whistle and revers-
ed her engine. The Athabasca struck
the Pontiac on the port bow and smash
Ell hole in her. The rapidity with
which the Pontiac went to the bottom
was the subject of comment OF the time.
Tie sunken vessel, it is claimed. is
total wreck. The $242,96 damages
asked cover the price of boat and cargo.
