ACCIDENT IS AYERTED
AT PORTAGE LAKE DRAW

serious accident was narrowly
averted at the Portage Lake draw
bridge this morning. Only the pres
ence of mind of the captain of the
steamer Niaraga prevented that boat
from crashing into the draw, which
could only have resulted in damage
such as that of three years ago when
the steamer Northern Wave ran into
the bridge and put IL out of commits
sion for several months.
Large quantities of ice formed on
the gearing of the draw during the
that it could not be used this morn
ing The steamer Niagara was the
first boat to attempt to pass through
but as it approached. the captain no.
ticed that the bridge did not act prop
erly. He Immediately reversed t.le
engines but even then had TO resort
to other means to avoid a collision.
A small boat was lowered and MEM
bers OF the crew rowed to the Ross
and Leiblien dock and succeeded in
fastening line by means of which
the progress of the boat was stopped
At the time. there were a number
of people on the draw all of whom
became greatly excited when they be-
came aware of situation and dashed
Off the bridge to safety. Had it not
been for the presence of mind of the
captain and his prompt action, there is
little doubt that a serious accident
would have resulted.
