LAUNCH SUNK
BY BOSTON
FERRYB0AT

Boston. Aug. 25.-The S5-foot naphtha
launch Catherine containing Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Wing of st. Luke's place. New
York city. and Albert w. Barnes OF Ever
EFT. was run down and sunk in the inner
harbor last evening by tho East Boston
was drowned.
The two men were considerably cut
by the splinters from the launch and
narrowly escaped death. but were res
cusd by the crew of q tugboat and after
receiving surgical attention were taken to
Mr. Barnes home In Everett.
The party was returning from a days
outing in the bay TO an anchorage in
the Mystic river near the Halden bridge
about 7:so o'clock and had passed the
Cunard wharves, when the ferryboat
bround from East Boston TO the city
proper on the South Ferry suddenly
came upon them. So rapid was her ap-
proach that the launch had no time to es-
cape and il was crushed like an egg-shell.
Mrs. Wing. who was seated in the stern,
was carried down with the launch and II
is believed that. when the craft is raised
at ebb tide her body will be found i'm
prisoned In the wreckage. The men were
hurled into the water, and as they were
badly cut and bruised by coming in con-
tact with the broken woodwork of the
launch they would surely have drowned
had not the tugboat Dunbar been near the
scene of the accident
Her crew rescued the nearly exhausted
men and they were taken to the harbor
police station where physicians attended
them.
Mrs. Wing was 90 years of age and
her husband is well known in the East
among members of the iron trade.
