Ten minutes later she fioated In safety

preciable extra tearing TO the Chapin's

which afforded an immense strain.
Another valuable agent was the light
ening OF the Chaplin by blowing Off two
of her boilers and pumping most of the
water out of her hull
wREcKING PUMP USED.
The water was pumped out by means OF
a big i0-inch Scott wrecking pump which
was brought on from New London for
that purpose.
AS soon as the Chaplin was clear the
Fall River proceeded to her dock In this
city, arriving about il o'clock where
Captain Hazard was warmly greeted by
Agent @. A. Gunderson. whose face was
wreathed I'm smiles as he announced his
relief at the successful outcome.
Once in readiness the Chaplin proceeded

Alert and the Henry II. SssOn. She had
steam up In two OF her boilers.
Agent Gunderson stated that at New
port an investigation will be made, after
which the Chaplin will be ordered 10 soma
dry dock for repairs.
STEAMER BADLY DAMAGED
How badly she is damaged he could not
say. but he imagined IL TO be costly to
repair her.
He said that Il was reported 10 him
that several plates in her hull are torn
and about nine steel floor frames broken.
Ii may be more or less, he said.
Captain Hazard said Her bottom is
I'm bad shape"
II is the opinion OF some persons who
claim to be familiar with such matters
that IL will cost $4,000 or $4,000 TO pue
the Chaplin back to her original condition.
The insurance companies will have to
stand the brunt OF II, IL is sas-.

last night and the water was practically
all out this morning.
IL was altogether a creditable handling
of the difficulty and everybody viii he

The steamer has a badly damaged bot

ed without ~urther examination.
The story of the Chapin's release. as
told by Captain Hazard OF the FAN River.
is one OF intense interest.
It was a novel performance and hap
py thought on the part of Captain Nick
erson, superintendent OF the Consolidat-
eds marine department. who came 10 the
conclusion that the Fan Rivers powerful
engines could move the Chaplin IL any
thing under the sky could
PATCHED IN TIME.
Accordingly, when Captain Nickerson
saw that the worst holes in the Chaplin ;
hun could be patched UP I'm time 10 per-
nit the water being pumped out he ar
ranged for the Fall River TO stand by on
her return from New York this morning
and lend a hand.
The Fall River came mp the bay on
time and stopped opposite the stranded
steamer at $3.50 O'Clock,
After the preliminaries the Fall River
backed I'm toward the Chaplin and when
from 700 TO 500 feet from the Chaplin let
go both her anchors.
Then the Fall River backed up 10 the

quarters

Next the Fall River went ahead OF asr
main engine, thereby getting a strain on
the hawsers.
Then they hove In" on the Fall Riv-
ers windlass on both anchors and got an
equal strain on both.
The Fall River then went ahead on the
main engine and the steam windlass at
the same time
Something had 20 come" said Captain
Hazard otherwise we would have pull
ed the stern off of the Chaplin"
The Fall River tugged and churned and
rolled for about 30 minutes with 20
pounds of steam on both her boilers be-
fore the slightest impression was per-
ceptible.

For several weeks, i'm fact since the
time when the resolution authorizing the
investigation was passed the committee
on accounts has devoted considerable
time to looking over the accounts of the
department of public buildings for the
past few years, that is from 1896. the tirre
when superintendent Mansfield was elect
ed to office.
Visits have also been made 20 school
houses, fire stations, police stations, and
other buildings owned by the city, but
principally 10 school houses, and wofl k
done by the department has been in
specteJ and persons connected with the
buildings have been questioned.
Laborers and artiZans employed to do
the work have also been appealed to for
information, and the committee has had
the use of a stenographer and thus has
a pretty correct record Of all the state
ments made.
How valuable these may prove TO be. of
course, cannot be learned until the invos-
tigation is we'll under way, for the mem
bers OF the committee have been very
reticent as y what they have learned.
MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE.
The joint committee on accounts is
composed of Councilmen Trask. Massie.
Root, Hall and Parks and Aldermen Rey-
nolds and Covell Councilman Trask be-
ing the chairman OF the committee.
1t IL stated. but whether there is any
truth in the statement is not confirmed,
that Messrs. Trask. Hall and Covell are
more conservative i'm their me thods than
some OF the other members of the com
mittee. and they believe I'm having some
thing tangible to go on before opening
fire.
Mr. Root of the committee, who took
the first steps in the matter, is OF
course, anxious that something should be
done TO either show that the office is or
is not properly conducted, while Messrs.
Massie. Parks and Reynolds are of the
opinion that any doubts existing should
be settled.
one interesting feature Of the case is
the fact that Superintendent Mansfield Is
really an agent of the committee on city
property. which had charge OF all public
buildings. and Mr.. frask, the chairman
Of the committee on accounts, together
with Mr.. Hall OF the committee, which is
to carry on the investigation, are both
members Of the committee on city prop
erty.
