Accident to the 'Varsity Launch.

Monday morning as a large dredge was going up the river it drifted across the bow line of the 'varsity launch thus pulling the rope so tight that the launch was overturned. It immediately filled with water and sank. The the dredging company put men at work Monday night and at low tide the launch was raised, Pumped out, and was ready for crew practice yesterday afternoon. The accident happened at a very unfortunate time as Perkins, captain of the '84 crew, had come up from New York to aid in coaching the crew and without the launch he could do nothing.
