NAVIGATION NOTES
New Launch Nancy Upset
While Being Unloaded
Fleet Being Repaired at Docks

The gasoline motor boat, the Nancy,
arrived from Portland on Monday She
was unloaded from the cars on Tuesday
and was to have been launched into the
placid waters of the Pend d'Oreille on
Wednesday, and THE MINER outfit was
TO have had ride in her on Sunday,
but now they will not, and thereby
hangs tale.
The Nancy was unlOaded on Lindsey
Bros spur on the Great Northern and
loaded onto large sleds. From the end
Of the spur to the Stevens docks the
road is very steep and covered with ice
The rig on which the boat was loaded
proceeded very we'll down the grade
until about the steepest point was
reached. A block and tackle had been
arranged to hold the rig back at this
point Just as the driver was trying to
stop his team he fell into a hole along
side the road and the team went on.
The heavily loaded sleds crowded on the
team, and they swerved just at the edge
Of the river bank, and the boat slid from
the rig and pitched over the brink, a
distance of ten feet, and landed keel up
Her upperworks and a snowbank saved
the boat from being entirely wrecked
The canopy top and frame work of the
boat were badly smashed, electric con.
nections and apparatus were put out ot
commission, brass ratings and mount
ings twisted out of shape, but her hui
was but slightly injured. The glas:
windows were in crates and packed in
side the cabin and were not injured il
the least. The machinery is also in goot
shape.
She was righted and hauled to the
waters edge, where she is undergoing
repairs, and will probably be in commits
sion within the next two weeks. The
damage to the craft will proba bly, no
exceed $500.
The Nancy is the finest looking boa
on the river, both as to speed, lines ant

and her cabin is furnished with rattan
easy chairs and moquette carpets. sh'
has electric lights operated by botl
dynamo and storage batteries He
upper works are of oak and she has
