COLLISION BARELY AVERTED.
Charged to Defect in
HIGHWAY Bridge Draw

Failure of the draw Of the new High
way bridge to open properly as the tug
James o. Carter was on her way I'D to
Georgetown with light Consolidation
Coal Company barge in tow was yester-
day nearly the cause of a collision be-
tween the bridge and the barge, which
would have resulted disastrously for the
vessel The Carter, with barge No. ID,
which is to load 1900 tons of Cumberland
coal at the Georgetown piers, had blown
for the draw to open. and the bridge had
answered. The tug had passed through
the draw of the railroad bridge and was
halfway across the space between the
two bridges when Capt. Davis of the
Carter noticed that something was wrong
with the highway structure.
A series of sharp whistles notified the
crew OF the barge to get anchor over
board quickly. This was done in time to
keep the big vessel from striking the
bridge, but there were not many feet to
spare. The tug and her tow were held
an hour and a half before the trouble
with the draw was remedied.
AS soon as No. IS was locked at George
town the work Of pouring the coal into
her hold was started. and it is probable
she will be ready to leave here this after
noon or tomorrow morning.

Finally, after many delays, she arrived
here, and after unloading was sent to the

of her at this city, but after leaving the

forced to leave the vessel at Norfolk and
go to his home. Capt. Gaskins then took
