1882 - Raised Barge Reaches Oswego

The Barge Kingsford in Port

The steam barge Thomson Kingsford, which was sunk by a collision

with the Saxon, on the Bay of Quinte, arrived in port yesterday. The

damage was temporarily repaired by a diver, she was pumped out and

steamed here. The cargo was taken off yesterday afternoon, and she

will go on Goble and Macfarlane's this morning. Captain McCarthy's

statement as to how the accident occurred, differs somewhat from

Capt. Van Alstyne's. He says the night was not dark, and that the

side on which the Kingsford was damaged proves that she was in her

proper position.
