 A few minutes after the long line of moving passengers had been stopped because the boats capacity had been reached. the vessel leaned slightly toward the dock. In a short time she recovered and then. with out warning. sloped heavily away from the pier l. was then only matter of minutes until the crowd on shore saw the slimy. moss GOV cred bottom of the boat heave up a> 1t overturned.
 The navy took charge of the craft In 1917 and commenced recon ditioning with the purpose of mak- ing 1t 8 training ship. AS the L. S S. Wilmette she was to be sent 10 France as a convoy in 1918. When the time came 1t was found that she was too long to go through the locks of the Welland canal. so 40 feet of the bow were cut off. By the time this was done the armistice had been signed and the boat was no longer needed in the war.
