left on one side. la this condition the
barge slowed a little, and the one-sided
load carried il over. None Of the pas
seugers were much hurt, but Cook was
badly bruised and shaken up. He is still
confined TO one position, tist on his back,
and suffers good deal. Some internal
injury was at first feared, but II Is hoped
he is coming out all right.
