It was found that about a feet of one hlade had been broken off. The wisdom of making the ship fast was soon manifested by the strong current caused by the overflow water learing the canal through the tidal openings. A large ship would have been powerless to mancouvre in such a run, for, should vessel touch the bank she would immediately wing round. alhwest the canal, and sustain disaster to the stempost or proceller but more probably to both.

This compelled the Titan practically to stop, and bend at this point, progress was made more difficult by the presence of a dredger and the amount of flood water coming down after the raise.

She afterwards made fast order to allow the Clan Frajer to pass. astern a complication was observed, the steamer Avalon, Jollowing the Liban, was just meeting the Clan Fraser to the bend, msiters not being improved by the presence of the dredger and the mod lighters.
