J N THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, MONDAY SEPTEMBER ---------- (ENGINEER WAS DROWNED HE WAS WASHED OFF THE wG 8. 0, DIXON. Accident Occurred in Lake Ontario Near the .Ducks--An .Unavailing Search Made For the Body. in the terrific windstorm on Sun-, day morning at three o'clock William Watts, engineer on the tug S. O. Dix- on, was washed overboard about five miles from the Ducks, and despite a search which lasted until long after daybreak, no trace of his body could be fond, The tug, with the barges Louisa and Islewid, loaded with mo- lasses and bound for Belleville, had cleared from Oswego on Saturday night after taking refuge in that port for several days from the storm. When som® hours out from Oswego a heavy wind came up and by three o'clock there was a hurricane. Some difficulty was experienced in the fire- hold with the water injection and En- .gineer Watts went in to see what was wrong. it was while he was making the re- turn from the firehold to the engine- room that he was washed overboard. The fireman, Joseph Williams, who had shipped at Oswego, saw him top- pling over when the tug lurched to one side. He endeavored to save him and managed to secure a hold on one of his legs. He called for help, but before it could reach bim he had been forced to loose his hold and the engineer was carried off in the fury of the storm, Capt. William Ziem, of Detroit, heard the cries of Fireman Williams for assistance while he was in the pi- lot house, Speaking to the Whig on Monday morning, the captain said: "When 1 heard Williams yelling 1 dashed to the engine-room and shut off the power. I dared not reverse the boat, as I was afraid that Watts might be caught under the wheel at 'the stern, I had life belts thrown out and also a couple of outer doors that were lying on the decks in the hope that Watts would manage to take hold of them. I blew the distress signals to the barges behind and then yelled to them that there was a man overboard. I ordered life boats to be released and when they were lowered we searched until long after deylight for a trace of him, Meanwhile the tows had got swept around in the wind as the tug had no power on and the lines were very confused. We tried to fix things up but were unsuc- cessful, We had no regular engineer on board and I had to do the best I could with the power." | Later, when it was found that pow- i er could not be kept up, the steamer Keyvive was hailed and the tug and the barges were towed to Kingston, On Monday they 'were laid up in the slip between the machine shop of the Canadian Locomotive Company and the elevator of Forwarders' Limited, The boats were tangled up and under the supervision of Capt. Zim the ropes were being straightened out. -Each McC : an n Y's 86 Broek Bt. Phone 826 or 621 When we can exam- ine and prescribe lasses that will add ours each day to your working effici- ency.
