Launch, Crowded With
Sailors Returning to
Supply Ship Glacier, is
Cut in Two by River
Boat at San Francisco
Sixty Thrown Into
Water-LOss of Life
May be Heavy.

San Francisco, Nov. 25. = A
launch from the naval supply
ship Glacier was cut in two by
the river steamer Apache off
the Mission street wharf here
today. Fifty or sixty men were
thrown into the water. The
loss of life is not known.
The Glacier lay at man-of-war
anchorage. The launch going to. and
from shore had to cross the path of
the big Sacramento river steamers
which arrive and depart early in the
day.
One man is known to have been
drowned. It was said a roll call
would be necessary to determine how
many, if others were lost.
The launch, putting off crowded
with men returning from shore levae,
was swept by the tide under the stern
wheel Of the Apache as she backed
out from her berth. The big wheel
paddle blade sheared off the steam Of
the launch which sank. Every man
aboard was thrown into the water.
A fleet of small boats was rushed
to the scene and began picking up
men. The United States cruiser South
Dakota, at anchor on Man-o-War
Row, a mile away, rushed her launch
es to the rescue and picked UP the
first body. x

They found the trouble could not
be remedied today, so they sealed up
the machine with it's one vote regis

use the reserve machine. The ma
chine that broke down was the one
usde for demonstration purposes prior
to the election.
