SIX we're DROWNED
PLEASURELAUNC COLLIDES WITH
A BARGE OFF n. ]. COAST.
Captain Vince Undertook to Pass Be-
tween Tug and Barge and Was
struck by the Hawser and Knocked
overboard-Launch capsized and
Rolled Under Barge.

Beverly, N. j., Oct. GA launch
containing nine men, all of Philadel-
phia, collided with barge in the Della
ware river, off this place, resulting in
the drowning Of six of the occupants
of the little boat. The other three
were rescued by the crew OF the tug
boat Bristol, which was towing the
barge when the accident happened.
Those rescued are:
Captain John Winch, owner of the
launch; w. F. Russell and j. Ruther-
ford
The dead are: William Winch, John
Ellis, John Stevenson, Samuel Heron,
Norman Delaney, James Yonkers.
The launch was hired by eight of
the men, most of whom lived in the
northeastern part of Philadelphia. The
elder Winch took his son along to as
sist him in running the boat. The day
was spent near Croydon, on the Penn
sylvania side of the river. The start
home was made late in the afternoon.
Opposite this place the launch met
the tug Bristol, in command of Cap
tain Mott, which was towing a barge
to Bordentown, N. J. Whether Cap
tain Winch saw the barge is not
known; nevertheless, he attempted to
cross the tugs stern. Captain Mott
hailed him and tried to prevent him
from doing 30. Captain Winch was
standing at the wheel OF the launch
as he went around the stern of the
tug. The hawser of the tug struck
aim and knocked him overheard. Be-
fore the captains son or any other
member of the party could take the
wheel to steer the launch clear of the
barge, the latter struck the frail boat
amidship, capsizing it.
The launch rolled under the barge,
and its occupants went with it, Cap
tain Mott put the tug about and went
to the rescue. He and his crew threw
ropes and life preservers to the strug-
Cling men in the water, but they were
able to save only three OF them. The
rescued men were landed here by the
tug and cared for at hotel.
Captain Mott, assisted by several
residents of Beverly, went in search Of
the bodies and were rewarded by find
ing three, but darkness put an end to
the work.

Members of the South Hudson Boat
club heard cries for help out on the
river, and in the heavy mist that pre-
vailed were able to make out the out
lines of capsiZed sailboat and of
tug that was running rapidly down the
river. The cries ceased before the
yachtsmen, who had put out to the
rescue in a rowboat, reached the cat
boat, which they found deserted and
with her side stove in. In a coat
aboard the boat they found list of
names, which proved to be those Of
party who had gone sailing In the BOAT.

son, all of South Yonkers. The body
