making for pier l North River when
she struck the Aeronaut. Sergt. Brown
says that there were about one lundred
persons on board the Cygnus, but they
seemed less frightened than interested

The other version is that of employees
of the Iron Steamboat Company. One
of these, who saw the accident, said
that the Cygnus was coming, from its
Communipaw Coal Dock and had nc
passengers on board.
The, Aeronaut. he says, was going, up
the river, and was within easy hailing
distance from the pier when the Cygnus
signalled for 1t to clear the way.

but for the timely arrival of the house
keeper and Miss Raubitscheck. The
latter declared that had not the boy
been caught he would have fallen over
the railing and met with a serious in

Miss Raubitscheek denounced the doc
