414 ESSEL accidents were numerous during Sep- tember, giving the ship yards abundant repair work. There were three total losses, the car ferry Pere Marquette No. 18 which foundered on Sept. 9 on Lake Michigan, the steamer New York, which 'foundered on Lake Huron on Oct. 2, and the steamer Frank L. Vance, which burned to the water's edge at Milwaukee on Oct. 4. The steamer Pontiac of the Cleve- land-Cliffs Iron Co.'s fleet struck at Watson's Reef, St. Marys river, and was so badly damaged that she had to be beached. She was released on Sept. 13 but was leaking so badly that it was necessary to again 'beach her to prevent her from sinking. She TRAE MarRINE REVIEW porary repairs were made. She was later docked at Cleveland. The steamer Clifford F. Moll was caught very suddenly in a fog while entering Niagara river and naturally got out of the channel. She swung broadside to the current and it was necessary to lighter 3,000 tons of ore before she could be released. She was taken to Ecorse for repairs. The steamer Lakeland was struck by the barge John Smeaton in Little Rapids Cut near the Sault, cutting a hole in her from below the water line to the deck. After being temporarily repaired the Lakeland was docked at Cleveland. The cause of the acci- dent was the parting of the wheel- chains of the Smeaton. The Smea- ton's steering gear again became dis- abled in Lake St. Clair and she had the misfortune to shear into the steam- er Corunna, knocking a hole about 10 "GO. s§ fleet.

The Brown was very badly damaged, it 'being necessary to put a canvas patch 125 ft. long and 40 im. wide on her starboard side to take her to Cleve- land: It will take about two months to repair her. A curious accident happened to the Maritana of the Pittsburg Steamship In attempting to pick up the barge Maia off Lorain on Oct. 1 she got the Maia's anchor chain caught in her wheel, which wound around the shaft, disabling the Mari- tana instantly. Dynamite was used to 'break the anchor chain after which the Maritana was put in dry dock. The steamer W. S.
