Islander fouls the Postal Cable

When the steamer Islander went t.
back down through the draw Of the
Gardiner and Pittston bridge, yoSt"r-
day morning. she met with an accident
that prevented her from making the
trip. There was a remarkably low
tide and the cable of the Postal Tclr-
graph Co.. which has been but recently
repaired, was near the top Of tn"
water. capt. Westman feared striking
il ana kept as near as possible 70 tn
middle pier. but the cable was pick
el ~.
'icfpre the wheel could be stopped,
the cable had taken a few turns about
the propeller and tore one end from
the cable box on the bridge ana allow
"a the boat 10 drift down the stream.
The wheel was turned over slowly in
order that the cable might b" freed,
but this was not accomplished and the
boat had t. lay to below the bridge.
She had a large number of passengers
and a heavy freight aboard.
The steamer Gardiner had left. but
She was stopped at the kcnnebec Mar
ket. and returning here at about go
o'clock. completed the trip for the Is
lander. J NJ POSTAL ~ ~ ONE Ild'I
men on the way here to repair the
damage A lin" was strung across the
draw ana soon communication with
Rockland was opened. 1t was found
that the cable had been badly injured
ana a diver was sent for from Rich
mond. The Islander was taken 10 the
wharf Al Randolph and there waited
until evening, when capt. Johnson OF
Richmond, came up.
The diver found that about the pro-
prllrr there are tiv~ twists of the CABLE
and three about the shaft. 1t is s.
strongly tangled that To unwind il has
been found almost impossible ana it
has been decided to cut il.
1t is hoped that the repairs to the ca
be viii be completed ana that the Is
lander viii be able t. make her trips.
