COLLISION OF TWO TUGBOATS.
THE BLANCHE SERIOUSLY INDENTED BY
THE WABAN, OF CHARLESTON.
Accident Year Mouth of the Cape Fear
Yesterday Morning : he Waban Not
Injured - Now Receiving
emporary Repairs May Be Ready
for Service oday.

The steam tug Blanche, of the Cape
Fear Towing and Transportation
Company, sustained serious damage
yesterday morning about 2:30 o'clock
at No. 5 buoy, opposite Bald Head,
near the mouth of the Cape Fear riv-
er, while plotting the tug Waban, of
Charleston, out to Ca The Waban
was towing the Standard Oil Com
pany's barge, No. So, from Southport
to Charleston and ran. bow on. into
the starboard side of the Blanche,
amidships, indenting her side and
causing a serious leak which made it
necessary for her to return immediate
ly to Southport.
The Blanche. under Captain L. J..
Pepper, left Wilmington for Southport
about s o'clock Tuesday night with the
oil barge in tow. The tug Waban was
in waiting for the barge at 1~ou,apufI.
Owing to the darkness the Blanche
went ahead to pilot the Waban out to
sea. When about three miles below
Southport, the Blanche, being a little
too far ahead, stopped for the other
tug to come nearer. She was holding
close to the weather side of the chan
mel on account of a stiff breeze, and
her bow turned toward the bank of
the channel. The tide was going out
and the stern of the Blanche was
thrown in the path of the Waban.
Captain Pepper, of the Blanche, seeing
the danger, did all in his power to no
tify the approaching boat. The cap
tain of the Waban reversed her en-
gines, but it was too late to avert a
collision. The Waban struck the
Blanche and made a large indenture,
pulling loose some of the rivets in her
iron side and causing a leak.
AS soon as possible the Waban turn
ed and came to offer assistance to the
Blanche. Both tugs put back to
Southport. The Waban remained un-
til day to ascertain for a certainty
that she a sustained no damage, and
finding none, proceeded yesterday
morning at Z o'clock for Charleston
with her barge.
The Blanche was brought up the
river early yesterday morning by Cap
tain Burriss and put on the railway at
SINNERS s%hipyard for temporary re-
pairs. Captain S. F. Craig told a
Messenger representative last night
that the Blanche would be off the
railway today and ready to resume her
harbOr duties.
None of the crew were hurt except
Captain Pepper, who had his knee in
jured by falling or the deck when the
L collision occurred. The following were
ABOARD at the time: Captain Pepper,
Captain Burriss, pilot; J.. w. Copeland,
engineer; George Savage, mate; Rob-
ert Weeks, fireman, and Mcdonald, a
deck hand, and a cook. Captain Pep
per. stopped at his home at Southport
and has not yet come UP.
The permanent repairs on the
Blanche, when made, will probably
cost several hundred dollars.
