an Accident near North

tcausay Gone to Her Assistance
200 People ON Board.

The steamer Maquam ran on to a reef
! about 10 rods from the North Island City

Inc boat was on her way from Platts-
| burgh, having on board about 200 people,
VINO had been attending the Plattsburgh
fair. The boat, when she ran on to the
reef, was about TO make the turn before
coming to the wharf on the North island
shore.
Two men who were on the steamer at
the time she ran on to the reef arrived
in this city Friday night at 0:30 o'clock
They were Guy Start of Bakersfield and
William Landon of St. Adams. When
seen and questioned in regard to the ac-
cident. they stated that everything was
running smoothly until about seven
clock when there was sudden crash
and the boat came to standstill. The
only reason they could see for the boats
running on to the reef was that the
steamer ran too close to the shore
These two men after remaining on the
BOAT short time got a chance to go
ashore in row boat. There were
also several other passengers who went
ashore in steam yachts that came to
the scene Messrs Start and I.andon hired
a team and drove to South Hero and
came to this city on the 1910 train When
they arrived at South Hero they learned
that the officers on the boat had telephoned
to the station agent to telegraph the
Champlain Transportation company to
send the Chateaugay to their assistance
Every means was tried to get the steam
er off the reef. The passengers were
placed at different points on the boat to
see If she could not be moved but 1t was
Of no use. Finally ropes were tied to
different places on the shore and the men
tried to pull the boat off This prevented the
yachts from taking any more passengers
off the boat.
