TWO MEN ARE INJURED,
AN ACCIDENT ABOARD THE SHIP
HELEN BREWER.
FAN Dowh n Hatch-Landed On Iron
Taken to the Queens
Hospital

An accident occurred on the
ship Helen Brewer this morning
as the result of which one man is in
the hospital aud another has a bad
arm. The vessel was discharging
from her center hatch. A platform
between the bulwark and hatch ex-
tends over nearly a foot. The
sailor, called Dick, was standing
on the forward rail with the second
man near him.
When the sling started up it
swayed and struck under the rail
upon which Dick" was standing,
knocking it up and throwing the
man violently down the hatch. The
rail struck the second sailor on the
arm, bruising it badly. The man
who went to the bottom fell on his
back on a pile of iron rails. When
picked up he was half conscious
and gasping for breath. DR.. Wood
was summoned and made hasty
examination. No bones were
broken.
The man was sent to the hospital,
where he is resting easily. 1t will
be impossible to tell today whether
internal injuries were sustained.
