ACCIDENT AvERTED.- What might
hsvs proven serious accident was mai
rowly averted yesterday afternoon
while the Presidents yacht Sylpb,
bearing the distinguished French visit
ors to the Rochambeau statue unveil-
ing, was proceeding down the Potomac
to Mount Vernon. Fortunately. how
ever, the danger as avoided, with the
result that the yacht merely poked her
long bowsprit into the pilot house OF
the police boat Vigilant, wreokiDg the
interior of the latter and demolished the
steering apparatus. The collision oo
cured opposite the arsenal wharf, and
had the yacht struck but few feet
farther to the stsrbosrd she would have
struck the wharf itself, with probably
serious damage to the vessel. The
trouble was caused by the Sylph at.
tempting to pass between the VigilsDt
and schooner which was anchored In
the stream. After punching her bow
spirit through the pilot house, the Sylph
continued her headway down the river
to her destination without further
event
