TUG SUFFERS NO DAMAGE.
Boat Driven Into Current, but is An
chored in Safe Position.

Sergt. Russell A. Dean, pilot of the police
boat, went out upon the Highway bridge
yesterday morning before daylight to see If
he could ascertain anything about the sea-
going tug Sea King that had left the wharf
Of j. Maury Dove and drifted down the
river. with two men aboard, as stated in
The Sunday Star. He saw the boat an
chored about 800 yards west of the bridge,
in a safe position William Clements and
Frank Rogansky, members of the crew of
the tug, had reported to the police that the
boat had left the wharf after the hawser
had parted. and they feared Capt. Frank
and Assistant Engineer Johnson who were
aboard the tug, were in danger Of losing
their lives.
Sergt. Dean was told that the high water
and swift current had caused the accident,
and that number Of accidents happened to
the boat soon after the start down the swift
stream was made The bow OF the boat
struck against some rocks in front Of the
home of the Analostan Boat Club and
when the craft swung around her side came
in contact with the obstruction. At the
wharf Of Lfttlefield & Alvord the Sea King
struck against barge. and a short distance
from there a collision occurred with the
government boat Gen. Warren
It was believed that the tug had been dis
abled. and that the two men aboard would
go down with the craft, and it was because
of the fears that were entertained that the
police were asked to assist In the search for
the boat. Sergt. Dean remained on the
bridge yesterday morning long enough to
become satisfied that the tug was in no
danger of sinking.
There had been no distress signals dis
played, and the lights on the boat were in
proper positions. After daybreak the boat
steamed back to the wharf, and the men
aboard told the story Of their experience
They were asleep when the hawser parted
and the boat was drifting down stream
W
dropped as quickly as possible, and the men
thought it best to wait until daybreak be-
fore they attempted to get up steam and re-
turn to the wharf
