S. S. WAKEFIELD SINKS
AFTER STRIKING PILES
Settles in Shallow Water at Ma.

One Is Injured.

With fifty passengers aboard the
steamer Wakefield struck submerged
piling at the Matthias point landing
Va. late yesterday afternoon. stove a
great hole in her hull and settled in
about ten feet of water. No one was
injured. This morning the stern of the
vessel was still submerged. there being
about eighteen inches of water on her
main deck, which last night was clear
awash.
The accident. which occurred about 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. as the
Wakefield was on her way down the
river with passengers and cargo from
here and Alexandria to river landings
as far as Mattox creek and Colonial
Beach, caused little excitement among
the passengers, who were at no time In
danger. as the steamer was in shoai
water when she struck the piles. All

lonial Beach.
The piles broke in plates In the hull
of the Wakefield until there was hole
so big that her steam pumps were UNI
able to combat the water that flowed
through and the vessel gradually
settled to the bottom.
Will Be Raised at Once.
Last night at midnight the steamer
Gratitude, with Chief Engineer Smith
of the Potomac and Chesapeake line
aboard, was sent to the sunken vessel
and arrangements will be made at
once to have her raised and taken to
a shipyard for repairs. How long will
be required for this is not known by
the officials of the Potomac and Ches-
apeake line here. but it will be done as
quickly as possible.
Meanwhile the steamer Gratitude will
take the place of the Wakefield on the
Colonial Beach -Mattox creek route, and
the steamer Volunteer will be used on
the route to river landings as far as
Winthrop and the marine rifle range.
The accident to the Wakefield will pre-
vent the putting in effect at this time
of a special schedule to Winthrop
which had been arranged for the bene-
fit of the marksmen going to the
