The day was beautiful one. the water
being as smooth as a mill pond. but three
quarters of a mile from the start, or just
above the Aqueduct bridge, a cyclone
struck the neighborhood. and the quiet
river was suddenly changed into a stream
like the Niagara whirlpool. The Column

the stream, We're in great danger. and.

the combined efforts Of the others to keep
him afioat. He cut himself badly on the
leg, the sharp edge of the oarlock ripping
a long. Jagged wound. il was impossible
for any craft to reach the oarsmen, and
they were not rescued until the cyclone

ABANDON SUNKEN LIGHTER.
Cargo Of Vessel to Be Removed and
Hull Broken Up.

According to reports, the lighter OF the
Alexandria Fertilizer and Chemical Com
pany, which sank in the dock at the
sulphuric acid-making plant the latter
part of last week, has seen its last serv-
ice. The vessel, when it sank had a
heavy cargo aboard, and it is supposed
that each end rested on an elevation in
the bottom of the dock, and allowed the
center to go down, or break its back, as
the river men term it.
Yesterday workmen Were employed in
stripping the house off the craft and the
cargo will then be removed. 1t is not
thought that the hull will be found worth
repairing, and it is more than probable
it will be broken up to get it out Of the
way.
The lighter was built twelve or more
years ago for the purpose of transporting
fertilizer from the mills at Alexandria to
Georgetown. OF late years it has been
used to bring iron pyrites from the mines
at Quantico, Va, to the acid-making plant
at Alexandria. 1t is stated that a new
lighter will be built for this service as
soon as possible.
