We clip the the following particulars
of the mishap to the tug Cotton from the
copper country correspondence of the
Mining Journal: The tug Cotton, which
went GU a reef near the ship canal Mon
day morning, was released Monday even
ing and lowed liz. The captain Of the
Cotton used every precaution In regard
to uniform speed and careful following
of the course. When the time required
for the passage was up, knowing that he
must be near the canal entrance, he
turned the boats head at right angles
and struck the reef north Of the entry
while going at very low speed. In re-
spouse to the Coltsn's signals the
life saving crew put cut and took off the
sixty passengers, comprising the Onton-
agon base ball team and their friends,
In response to telephone message
another tug was sent to get the Cotton
off. This was done successfully but In
leaving the reef the Colton's whael was
badly broken. The damage other than
to the wheel was trifling. All things
considered 1t was lucky ending of what
might have been very serious matter.
Had the rocks punched hole through
the Colton's skin. as might easily have
happened, the boat would have sustained
great damage and the passengers would
have been placed In considerable peril.
