What Cheer.

What nearly eliminated in an accident
in the harbor this morning was only
averted through the quickness and self.
possession of Capt. Burton of the steamer
What Cheer. The What Cheer left the
Riverside wharf at o'clock on her first
up trip to Providence. and when just
abreast of Pomham light the steamer
Berkshire of the Merchant and Miners
transportation Company, which had
been following closely in the wake OF the
What Cheer, was by the suction OF the
boat, drawn toward the side of the What
Cheer and but for the timely signalling
and backing of the boats, would probably
have resulted in an accident. AS it was,
the What Cheer received only a little
scrape and the passengers a good fright.
Almost 200 people were on the What
Cheer and the Berkshire carried several
passengers and a heavy cargo OF freight.
