SUNK BY CARELESSNESS.
A Deck-Hand Caused the sinking
of the Tugbont Goodwin.

The tugbost Goodwin. Of the Barrett
Towing Company, was sunk at the White
Star line pier at the foot of King street
at o'clock this morning. because of the
carelessness of a deckhand.
The Goodwin was moored to the pier
last night and her fires drawn. The
deckhand was ordered TO open the sea
cock and let the water escape from the
boiler. He obeyed the order. but neg
lected to again close the valve. The re-
suit was that the tug slowly filled with
water and sank.
This morning the Chapman Derrick
and Wrecking Company anchored
huge derrick alongside OF the sunken
tug. the smokestack Of which was the
only part visible. A diver was sent
down. and by noon he had succeeded In
twisting huge hawsers around the tug
fore and aft. and It is expected that the
vessel will be raised before evening.
The water will then be pumped out
after which II Is said the Goodwin will
be as serViceable as ever.
