PROPELLER UNDER WATER.
Supposed to Have Struck a Rock in
Norwalk Harbor.
The freight steamer Eagle. owned by
the New York and Norwalk Steamboat
Company. is nearly under water oppo-
lslte the company‘s dock in Norwalk
with a big hole In her bottom, supposed
to have. been knocked into her by a
large. rock on the edge of the chan-
iicl.
The accident occurred about 1:30
this morning. when the tide was about
‘ialf out and while Captain Edward
Hill was attempting to "win(" the
bout around. The vessel's bow may
have struck the big bank of mud In the
1cntcr of “'10 harbor and the resultant
41min being so great that she sprung
ileak.1 As the tide was falling at the
ime she. did not begin to take In much
water until It began to rise again this
nor-ping about ii o'clock and when high
again her main deck was completely
covered.
The crew worked like beavers all
night long unloading the freight, trans-
‘erring if to the City of Norwalk
which lay at the deck Nearly all of
it was removed before the tide reached
It. Consequently the damage to her
cargo Is very small. Both the boat
and the cargo is Insured in reliable
impunies.
There are two commanders aboard
the Eagle. Captain Edward Hill and
L‘aptnin Walter Miner. and the engine
‘oorn Is in charge of Engineer llrowcr.
Captain Hill had charge at the time
of the accident. Captain Moses Wil
=011 notified the. Insurance companies
if the accident by telephone, this
morning. and ii In expected that. a New
York wrecking tug will arrive some
time during the day. It Is not thought
that. the job of floating her will be u
‘vcry difficult one: As soon as this
is accomplished she will be taken to u
try dock for permanent repairs.
The boat was purchased a dozen or
111 years ago byiho company from
\lorih ltlvcr parties, and was built in
Mystic. Though she Is quite an old
malt It Is believed that she sun has
'01s of good servicr1 left In her.
'Shc will not be taken possession o.
