A NEAR DISASTER Capt. M. L. Pendleton
had quite an experience last week in the aux
iliary sloop he built on the shore south of the
steamer wharf. The craft was launched re-
Gently and when atioat her deck was laid. Not
being able to get calker here, and wanting
some material which he could obtain in Cam
den, Capt. Pendet.n decided to go there, and
secured freight of about IS tons of scrap iron
from the Duplex Roller Bushing Co. for Knowl-
ton Bros. He loaded at the Roller Bushinp
wharf having part of his cargo on deck. An
engine had been installed in the craft, but she
had not been ceied and had no pump, A start
was made last Thursday afternoon, but when
off the Camden shore the engine refused to
work and the boat began to leak badly. Capt
Pendleton threw over most of his deck load
and by baling kept his craft afloat until motor
boat came to his assistance and towed him
, back to the Roller Bushing dock. Had Capt
Pendeton got farther down the bay he might
have met with total loss, as the craft has five
tons of iron on her kee and that with her car.
go would have taken her to the bottom.
