hitting.

birthday anniversary of General
Grant, narrowly escaped serious dis.
aster when part of the third deck OF
the steamer Island Queen crashed to
the deck below, carrying with it some
200 persons. Only half a minute s
warning by cracking timbers gave a

ers on the deck below time to get
from under the crashing deck. Only
three persons were injured.
That the president and Mrs. Hard
ing and other distinguished person
ages in the presidential party were
not aboard the Island Queen was due
to advice OF government inspectors

the president making the trip on the
old pleasure boat because of her con-
dition. Consequently, the president
and his party were assigned to the
Cayuga, a government boat, which
led the flotilla of seven steamers
from Cincinnati bearing between 49,
900 and $4,000 people.
The injured were: Wilbur Morgan,
