Timers Narrowly Averted.
New York, Feb. 5.-The steamship Kat
ser Wilhelm II, of the North German
Lloyd line, and La Bretagne, of the
French line, ran aground today on their
way out to sea, and at fastest reports
La Bretagne was still sticking in the mud
in an easy position, the German vessel
having been pulled out. They steamed
down the bay In thick weather this morn

pilots on the bridges were feeling their
way gingerly down the narrow channel
when the accident occurred Both ships
chose Gedneys channel. and when they
reached the bar they were in unwelcome
proximity Of each other. Then the bigger
steamer tried to get around the other.
There was a little too much maneuvering
for the narrow channel. and then came
sudden scrapinE. crunching sound Al
though the shock was slight there was
considerable excitement and a confusion
Of bells on the bridges and then. with
mighty churning Of the waters. the big
steamers sought to beat their way OF the
muddy bed into which their noses had
been driven.
Pulver offered assistance 70 the French
man. which was refused. Then he threw
a line N the Kaiser wilhelm II. The tug
boat had almost got her OF once. but she
foated down closer to the Frenchnan,
and for a time Il seemed as though col
IIsion was certain. The two vessels were
not more than sr4 feet apart when the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. went on the mud for
the second time. Then another attempt
was made and tire Kaiser was drawn
away from the ship she threatened and
safely anchored IN deep water Her cap
tain. however. refused to proceed until
