dress says in part:
''The proposed deep water is to

Commend that for the purpose of

be inadequate and wholly unsatisfac-
tory. we favor appropriations by con-
gress, diligent, assiduous and untir-
ing efforts to secure the necessary
means with which to develop the

Kentucky's Stern Line Parts
And She Swings Menacingly
Dick Fowler Makes Three Attempts
Before She Succeeds I'm Land
ing at Wharf.
HOPKINS TIES UP AT ISLAND

With only one small rope holding
1t to the wharfboat. and the wind
blowing at high velocity, the
steamer Kentucky nearly was swept
out into the river last night. The
crew, all but the Waterman, were
asleep and there was no steam up.
The steamer would have been at the
mercy of the wind and waves.
The one rope holding the Kentuc-
ky to the wharfboat was at the head.
The stern rope had been broken
loose by the Dick Fowler while try
ing to land in the face of the gale.
John Street, the night wharfmastsr.
recognized the perilous position of
the boat and with the assistance of
the hastily aroused officers, succeed
ed in securing 1t before the rope was
broken.
The Dick Fowler made three at
tempts TO land before It succeeded.
The wind was blowing a gale On
the first approach to the wharfboat.
the Dick Fowler hit the head Of the
Kentucky. breaking the stern line of
that boat and from the force Of the
contact. aided by the wind, was
swept nearly to Owens island.
After drifting down the river sew
eral hundred yards below the wharf
boat, the second attempt was made
to land. The Dick Fowler drove
straight to the wharfboat. but the
wind was stronger than the rudder.
and 1t went in between the south end
of the wharfboat and the Bette Ow-
ems landing dock.
Drifting down the river again, the
third attempt was made. This time
the Dick Fowler made the wharf
boat all right. but got in between
the Kentucky and the wharfboat. BY
this time. the Kentucky, the stern
line having broken, was standing
with the stern pointed straight out
into the river toward the Illinois
shore. held only by head rope. The
officers on the Kentucky aroused by
this time, were confused for a while
by the position of the boat.
The gang-plank of the two boats
became mixed as did some of the
rigging. 1t was evident that the
Kentucky could not remain long in
that position and the Dick Fowler
was compelled to unite again, to
allow the Kentucky to swing back
against the wharf The wind by that
time had subsidized somewhat and the
exchange was accomplished without
incident though only through the
hardest work.
Had the Kentucky been swept out
into the river, the result cannot be
predicted. With no steam up and
terrific wind blowing, Il is probable
that the steamer would have been
swamped or blown against some oth-
err craft sinking or seriously damag-
ing IT. The breaking of the stern line
was through no avoidable act Of the
Dick Fowler. The wind made it al
most impossible for that boat to
land.
The John S. Hopkins arrived from
Evansville at the same time after a
stormy trip but did not attempt to
lite up to the wharfboat. The Hop
kins tied up to the far side of Ow-
lens island until the gale had sub
sided. Little damage was reported
from the wind otherwise.
