Time
A large houseboat, owned by Sanford
& Brooks, the contractors now engaged
in enlarging the dry docks of the Harlan
q Hollingsworth Co., suddenly went to
the bottom Of the Christiana, at the
mouth of the drydocks, on Sunday after
aoon about 4 o'clock. Four men were in
theboat asleep at the time, while the re-
mainder, a total Of about 40 were at
tending church or visiting relatives in
different parts of the city.
The men in the boat had a narrow es-
cape from being drowned and in their
escape had a chilling bath from the icy
waters. The men lost their effects. An
effort is being made to raise the boat.
The men occupied the boat as eating
and sleeping quarters.
The men are now taking their meals
at restaurants and boarding houses and
have changed their sleeping quarters also.
