the st. Lawrence river yesterday and
now rests in % feet of water. The

to start down the river, the bow sec
ton, As feet in length, suddenly ca
reened to one side, forcing that pom
toon under the water. The upper pom
toon then shifted its position drawing
the other pontoon away from the boat
section, almost turning it bottom side
up. Fourteen seaman were thrown
into the water. but all escaped. The
accident was caused by overlooking

topheavy.
