Burlington Gazette: The govern
ment engineers today located dam
gerous snag in the river. 100 yards
west of the government light at the
ferry landing opposite Burlington. For
the past twenty years the pilots have
been trying to locate this snag with
out success. 1t will be marked and
will be withdrawn by the snag-puller
David Upton. The snag was first dis
covered twenty ysars ago by the
steamer Nautilus. As the steamer
was passing at full speed, she struck
the snag and stopped instantly, just
as effectively as if she had STRUCK
stone wall. D. D. Robinson, who was
standing in the rear of the boat at
the time, was thrown against the
boiler of the boat and suffered three
fractured ribs. Since that time the
steam boat men have been ANXIOUS
to have the snag pulled, but it could
not be located. 1t had become danger
GUS at the present time, as several
launches have hit 1t lately and some
serious accidents might have been
the result.
