When the oak hulled Patterson
with its crew of 10 men piled up
on Eye Opener Rock in Sumner
Straits at o'clock yesterday morn
ing the weather was heavy with a
fine sleet, and visibility was very
low Fortunately the boat slid onto
the submerged ledge at low tide
which prevented the tWo-foot keel
from travelling high and dry on the
barrier. Contact with the reef was
made while the ship was travelling
full speed ahead and although there
was a severe jolt when the hit was
made no cargo shifted, it is said.
The ship rested on the ledge

for help, the ship registered 80
degree list and the starboard life
boat was swung cut preparatory to
abandoning ship. However, as the
tide rose the list was decreased and
eventually the ship stood on an
even keel and floated free.
