NAVY TUG BACKS INTO
CUSTOMS LAUNCH AND
ENDANGERS TWO LIVES

Because the u. s. tug Navajo
backed out from the navy slip and
rammed her stern into the customs
launch Water Witch the lives of DR..
A. N. Sinclair acting assistant sur
vice and superintendent of the Leahi
Home, and Customs Inspector Gilbert
McNicon were endangered recently, It
was learned today.
In q heavy rain the Navajo backed
out Of her berth at the navy slip In
the morning while the customs launch,
owned by Young Brothers, was pass
ing at right angles, bound for the i'm.
migration wharf to pick up the inspec-
tors going out with the doctor and the
customs officer to board a steamer of
port.
Owing to the rain DR.. Sinclair and
McNicoll were in the cabin and il Is
said that the Navajo did not blow her
whistle or have man watching on
the after deck. The launch engineer
and pilot did not see the tug until It
was too late. Neither, evidently, saw
the other coming.
The Nasajo's stern ripped the roof
of the after cabin almost entirely off
when 1t struck the port side of the
launch nearly amidshins. Or. Sinclair
and Inspector McNicoll, whose backs
were toward the tug. heard q noise
and looked up to see the roof going
overheard and the tugs stern right
above their heads. McNicoll was
slightly cut on the head by flying
glass; Thas launch ,is sbeing.repaired
