- Full Text
A telegram from Detroit, Monday, says: An accident on the schr. C.G. BREED this forenoon resulted in the injury of two sailors and the narrow escape of two others. The four were about thirty feet above the deck working on the triangle scraping the main mast when the strap holding the block from which the same were suspended, broke. Two caught the ropes and escaped falling to the deck. The third, Alexander Brown, caught first by his leg and then his hands, and escaped with his hip strained and hands severely burned. The forth, Joseph King, fell on the fife-rail and then on the deck. His thigh was broken, and he
suffered from internal injuries. He was taken to the Marine Hospital.
