The damage is estimated at between
S350.00 and 100000.
The Crescent City crashed into the
Assiniboia as she was swept out OF
the lock. making a big hole in the
hold OF a latter. The Crescent City
sank after reaching the American side
and is lying with her forward end on

ed around several times, finally land
ing on a shoal out OF the channel.
Capt. Mosher said the Walker would
be able to proceed today.
The cause OF the accident has not
definitely been learned. Vessel men
here place all blame on the engineer
of the Walker. Capt. Mosher says he
gave his engineer a signal 10 back up,
but instead the boat was sent ahead.
Her nose poked into the lock gate,
breaking 1t and causing water TO

say the accident was due 10 the ma

impaired and prevented the engineer
