FELL INTO THE WATER

Captain John Jarrell of Port Hope, who has been in command of the steamer Caspian for some years, suffered two broken ribs on Wednesday night when he fell when boarding the steamer, which is laid up at the Canadian Pacific wharf at the foot of Brock street.

It appears that the captain had gone over the gang plank leading onto the steamer, when he suddenly fell, with the result that he struck an obstruction. He lost his balance and fell out of the gangway into the water. He swam for some little distance and caught hold to one of the ropes holding the steamer and by this means was able to pull himself up onto the wharf. After making a landing he again boarded the steamer and went to his room.

His side commenced to give him considerable pain. He made a closer examination and found that two of his ribs had been broken by the fall.

It is very fortunate that the captain did not lose his life, as there was no person near when he fell into the water.

p.8 The Haddington Lightered - Port Colborne, Sept. 25th - The wrecking outfit worked all yesterday on the steamer Haddington, and expected to float her sometime today. Three hundred tons of coal were lightered into the Manistique. The Haddington will not be fit to proceed through the canal, and will most likely be towed to Buffalo dry dock for repairs.
