MANY ExCURsIoNIsTs IN PERIL.
Tug Engine Balks and Two Crowded Barges

TUG Engine Balks and Two Crowded Barses
Drift Toward the Rocks at Yenkers.
YoNxERs. July 30.-An excursion party
on two barges towed by q tug came peril
ously near being dashed on the rocks at
North Yonkers this evening during storm.
The quick work Of the Joseph Peene, sr..
a Yonkers tugboat, which went to the
rescue, alone prevented the disaster.
The excursion was under the management
Of THE Two Sergeants, Hoboken organi-
zation. They had the tug Neptune and two
barges of the Meyers Navigation Company.
1t was after O'Clock when they cast on
from Rverview Grove. opposite Yonkers.
Soon the engine on the tug stopped sud-
denly. Every effort to start it was futile.
Meantime the two barges and the tug drifted
toward the Yonkers shore. The captain
whistled for help and many small river
craft responded.
James Cunningham Of ls2 West Four
teenth street and B. Plumacher of,sA East
Fifty-ninth street, New York. with party
were among the first to reach the barges,
and they were asked to speed to Yonkers
for a tug. which they did. Small river
boats took large number Of people from
the barges and landed them at Yonkers.
where they took the train for home.
The Peene made fast to the barges
and pulled them out into the river when
they were within 100 yards Of the rocks.
After over an hours drifting the engine Of
the Neptune was repaired, and the ex-
cursion proceeded to New York.
The captain Of the tug refused to give
his name or to say what caused the accident.
People on the barges declared that the
hawser broke and, becoming entangled In
the propeller disabled the engine.
