THE DREW Ashore IN Town
Missed Her way u, th. Eos .ns LANDED
Her Passengers at Is0th street

The Albany night boat Drew OF the people's
line ran ashore at 1880 yesterday morning on
Washington Point, at the foot of West lsOth
street, in the dense fog. The Drew was on her
way to this city under command Of Capt. Roe.
and carried about $50 passengers, one-third of
whom were women and children. She struck
upon the shelving ledge Of rocks that projects
into the river about thirty feet staving hole
In her port bow and smashing her tinbers on
the port side for forty zone feet of her length.
Water flowed into her hold as far aft a. the col
lision bulkhead. and some got through 1t. A
long plank was rugged from the deck, and the
passengers were landed upon the point. They
completed their journey by the cable cars.
The barge Pleasant Valley, which plies be-
tween Fort Lee and points In this city, and two
lighters from Fort Lee came 70 the Drew's as
sistance, and about 100 tons of her cargo were
transferred to the lighters. When the Drew
struck the tide had just turned from the ebb
and she was obliged TO remain fast on the rocks
under her own steam and with the assistance Of
the Pleasant Valley, She arrived at her dock
night p diver examined her damages and found
that the hole was not large one and could
easily ,SSi be Eepaired She will go into dry dock
sumo her trips on Wednesday, Capt. Roe said
70 ySbS SgN rePorter: P 10.
Saturday night mist was settling upon the
river: Lookouts were stationed forward and the
speed of the boat was reduced. Yesterday morn
Ing the fog was heavy. OF West Point we were
Obliged To reduce speed TO minimum and to
blow our whistles continually. The situation be-
came so dangerous that of Riverdale we an
9hored until the fog lifted enough to let us see
our way. Just south of Rivertlaio at a point of
Inwood - a little projection called Tabby's
Hook. The water here Is of sufficient depth TO
allow the Drew to pass quite close. This hook IL
favorite resort for fishermen. In the uncertain
light as we were creeping along noticed the
point ahead OF us, and believed It to DO
Tabby's Hook by the number of fisher
men there. We continued to proceed slowly,
! saw my mistake when we were a few feet from
Washington Point, and instantly rang for re-
versed engines, but the strong current carried
us against the rocks, The bottom of the boat
struck squarely on the ledge"
Capt. Roe says that the two red lights now
placed by q bell buoy.
The tugboat Harlem River. the property Of
Mcconnell Brothers, ran aground on Hog Back
rock, He'll Gate, in the fog about O'Clock yes
terday morning. Capt. Charles King was In
command. At 3 O'Clock the boat was ioated of

A Days work 90 Move the spool Ihto the
Metropolitan Company Power House.

The largest cable in New York WIS delivered
yesterday In the power house OF the MetropOl-
itan Traction Company, sixth avenue and
Fiftieth street. On Thursday the cable was
moved from the foot Of Forty seventh street to
the doorway OF the power house A special iron
truck with steel-tired wheels had been built by
Thomas McLarnon, the contractor.
Yesterday an inclined plane was constructed
from the floor Of the power house 10 the side OF
the truck. Heavy cables were passed about
the spool. One was made fast TO a
steam winch. while the second was fas-
tened Ia heavy timbers placed under the truck.
The first was used Ia move the spool, while the
second served TO prevent a too rapid motion and
loss OF control by the wOrKnlen. Pieces OF tim
Der were placed between the iron rods, which
held together the ends OF the spool ana the
cable. Bending Of the rods was thus prevented.
1t required the greater part OF the day 10 pre-
pare Tor the unloading, which was done success
fully In a few moments.
Tie wire cable is an inch and a half thick,
81 800 feet long, and weighs l2+,954 pounds,
while the truck weighs more than nine tons.
FOTty-tWo horses were Required 10 draw the
load. Truckman McLarnon says it Is the largest
load ever hauled In this city. The cable Is for
the new Columbus avenue line. The spool will
be- mounted ON supports In the power house and
will then be ready TO be drawn Into the conduit.
Eight more cables will be received Dy the
company. Truckman McI.arnon has moved
