SAN FRANCISCO, Aug IA fatal
accident occurred on the bay to-day,
when the Government tugboat NC
DoWell ran into the launch of the trans
port ship Scandal, which was out for a
trial. having on board Captain Hart OF
the Scandal and a party of ladies and
gentlemen The names of the parties
on the launch We're: Mrs. Charles Pax
ton, Mrs. Douglas Cone of Red Bluff,
wife of the son of j. S. Cone, who was
a very wealthy rancher of Tehama
County; Mrs. Peterson, friend OF Mrs.
Cone: Captain Hart of the Scandal,
Third Officer Thompson of the Scandal,
who was steering; Assistant Engineer
Hillman of the Scandal, Quartermaster
O. Jones, Quartermaster S. Lubrano,
Fireman Daily, Nathaniel T. Messer,
Jr, whose father has been lately APP
pointed Quartermaster in the army,
and is attached to the Scandal, with the
rank of Captain.
The launch was headed straight for
Goat Island, and when about 100 feet
from the head of the wharf the steamer
Mcdowell was seen approaching on the
port side. The Government boat was
headed for Clay-street wharf, and those
who witnessed the accident stated that,
without stopping, she struck the launch
on the port side, near the setrn, turn
ing her over and throwing the occu-
pants into the water.
Mrs. Charles E Paxton. wife OF
local stock broker, was drowned, ana
but for the prompt assistance or Doat-
men from the water front all the oc-
cupants of the launch would have met
a similar fate.
In connection with the loss of life,
serious charges of incompetency ana
willful neglect are made against the
officers and crew of the Mcdowell, VINO
are accused not only Of causing the
accident, but also of not using any ef-
forts to save any of the persons VINO
were in danger of drowning. Indlgna-
ton on the water front ran so high for
a time that it looked as if the crew OF
the Mcdowell would be summarily
dealt with.
First officer Grimm was in charge
of the Mcdowell The launch blew
one whistle, which was intended TO
give Grimm the signal to pass astern.
Grimm replied to the blast, and pre-
pared to pass between the launch ana
the dock. Suddenly the smaller vessel
seemed to slacken its speed. Ihere
was no time to be lost. The McDoW-
ellis wheel spun around and stimuli
taneously several persons shouted TO
the occupants of the launch: Go
ahead. there; go ahead. You'll be run
down"
The warning was too late. Striking
the small boat a glancing blow, the
Mcdowell sheered off. but the force or
the collision listed the launch until It's
rail went under water. In twinkle II
filled and sank to its rail. The stern
then went down. but the bow renamed
above water for some time, being kept
afioat by an air tank located there.
