scaided on the Torpodoboat Rodgers While
She Was on Her Trial Trip.
Washington, Sept. 13.-As q result
Of an accident to the machinery of the
torpedoboat RodgerH, yesterday, while
that vessel was on her official trip In
Chesapeake Bay, five men were
seriously injured by escaping steam.
Among the injured is Chief Engineer
j. r. Edwards. U. S. NJ, one OF the
members of the trial hoard, who was
in the engine room at the time of the
accident.
Au official report in regard to the
matter was made to Acting Secretary
Roosevelt by Commodore George
Dewey, president of tne Board OF
Inspection and Survey, who came to
Washington Immediately after he had
landed from the damaged craft. Ac-
cording TO this report the Rodgers was
making speed above the gag knots
required by her contract when the
accident occurred. The first evidence
of weakness in the vessels machinery
was the breaking of her crank shaft aft
of the after crank of her port engine.
Before the machinery could be STOPPED
a general break occurred. All four of
the connecting rods were hent the
holding down rods were broken. the
Shaft was broken in three places, and
| two cylinder heads we're ruptured. The
most serious feature of the accident
was the ecalding of five men. None,
| however, was dangerously injured.
| Chief Engineer Edwards was removed
| to Annapolis and is now in the Naval
Hospital there.
Tho Columbia iron works, which
built the Rodgers, will at once repair
the vessels machinery, and within a
couple Of weeks is expected to again
turn her over TO the Board of In
spection and Survey for trial.

HOOK AND LINE.

The Pond at Miifords Furnish Excellent
Sport for Pike Fishermen - Along the
Brandywine. ah
Close to Milford are two of the pref
test fresh water ponds in the State
and il has become known recently that
in these ponds are some Of the best fish
in the State. Pike fishing is now a
favorite pastime with some of the resi-
dents OF the town and ALEC visitors and
the general impression il that there is
no better place on the Peninsula to cap

once more along the BrRndywine for
bass fishing, both for bait and fly.

down stream and the water ia neither
too clear nor too cloudy fur the sport.

work against the fly fishermen at the
present time. and in some places the
| stream is almost filled with it. hut
there ia still good fishing left at many
points. The fall fish, too. have COM

many bass have been taken there this
summer. -=-...
Tho bait which seem most in favor
with the fish at the present time is the
helgramite, and they are taking it in
good shane. BY the use of this lure
many bass of fair size are taken and
sometimes some of tho largest take il
