Riverside (Propeller), U110974, aground, 4 Jul 1900
- Full Text
The excursion steamer RIVERSIDE, from Elmwood Beach with a big crowd of holiday excursionists, ran on Hickory Reef at the head of Grand Island at 11 o'clock Wednesday night, in the heaviest fog ever known on the river. A report that the boat was sinking caused a panic on board. Revolvers in the hands of a few brave men alone prevented a horrible stampede. The passengers, 263 in number, were safely transferred to the steamer IDLE HOUR and were brought back to Buffalo at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The RIVERSIDE has not yet been released.
