ENGINEER FALLS OVERBOARD Launch's Engines Break Down Craft Drifts Three Hours, Helpless Anchor Holds in Time to Avoid Striking Perry. An accident that almost ended in very serious consequences, occurred lato la-t night, when the engines of the gasoline launch Queen, became disabled, while the craft was on her return trip to this city from Gray's River, and for three hours the liont drifted helpless in the darkness, down the river, and only escaped a disaterou collision with the revenue cutter Commodore Perry by the narrowest margin. The Queen left Gray's River after dark, and about eleven o'clock the en gines went wrong. Efforts to repair the injury proved futile, and the boat drifted with the current. In his efforts to uid in obtaining an anchorage for the craft, Engineer Steve Williams fell overboard, twice, and was only snved after hard' work by those aboard, As the boat drifted down the river, all hearings were lost, and a number of passengers on board, became badly frightened. The current carried the Queen swiftly, and as the crew were working frantically to get nn anchor age, they failed to see the Perry, which was directly in their path. Suddenly when the Queen was within 100 yards of the government ship, Miss Lueile Black, one of the passengers saw the outline of the Perry loom up out of he darkness, and at once not i lied Cap tain Hall. At the same moment the watch on the Perry saw the oncoming craft and warned by the cries of those on the Queen, that 'something was amiss, a boat was put off which went to the Queen's aid. Luckily however, the Queen's anchor enuglit, when within a few yards of the Perry, and the collis ion was avoided. . The cutter's boat removed the pas sengers from the Queen to land. The swift current at this point would no doubt have carried the Queen into the Ferry -with great force, and serious consequences have resulted, had not the anchor held in time.
