HE most serious ac- cident to the lake fleet during August was the grounding of the steamer "thomas 8... Cole, flagship of the Pitts- burg Steamship Co.'s fleet, about 6 miles off Detour, dur- ing a heavy smoke on Aug. 24. Gen- eral regret is expressed in lake cir- cles over Capt. Morgan's misfortune, 'but accidents will happen to the best -of men, The Cole was bound up light and 'she went on hard for over half her length, puncturing a number of her starboard tanks. She was exposed to southerly and westerly winds, atid '.4s the weather was fresh every effort TAE MarRINE REVIEW was made to expedite her release. The wrecker Favorite was rushed to her assistance and released her within a few hours after reaching her, much to the company's surprise and relief, as it looked like a long job. The Cole re- turned to Lake Erie and was docked at Lorain. Examination of her bot- tom revealed the fact that she had 92 damaged frames and that 45 plates would have to be taken off. The Darge J. Hy -Pellett, to the Kelley Island Lime & Trans- port Co. was in collision with the car ferry, Marquette & Bessemer No. 15, between Ashtabula and Conneaut, on Aug. 10. Her: bow was °* crushed in practically to the collision bulk- head and the wonder is that she did not go to the bottom. Capt William belonging September, 1910 _ ACCIDENTS TO LAKE VESSELS Kelley, master of the Pellett, was knocked into the hold by the force of the collision and was pretty badly shaken up. The Pellett was in tow of the tug W. B. Sanders at the time. The Sanders towed her to Cleveland, where she was put in dry dock. The steamer Moses Taylor ran aground in a fog near Sarnia and broke her shoe. A description of the repairs to the shoe by the thermit process will be found elsewhere in this issue. The steamer Schoolcraft was sunk in collision with the steamer Amazon in. the St. Clair river. .Her. stem. was pretty badly twisted, but after tempor- ary repairs were effected she. was taken to Buffalo. id DATE.
