CARELESS SEAMANSHIP
LINER INFLICTS £(5,000 DAMAGE. By Electric Telegraph.—Fress Association —Copyright. (Times.—Sydney Sun Service.) Received 7.15 p.m. NEW YORK, May 28. The steamer Vaterland when departing overturned a coal barge and dragged two tugboats from their berths. Backing out she nearly crashed into two large passenger steamers. She then swung towards the pier, the screws churning sucked the water out, causing the hawsers of two steamers to snap, forcing them against the bulkheads and smashing her own rails and also the pier rails. The Vaterland proceeded on her voyage after inflicting £6,000 damage.
