Yachts Hit Point Judith. 
Tue following partial account of Nada’s ex- 
perience with the Point Judith breakwater is 
taken from the New York World. 
“Newport, July 17.—The steam yacht Nada, 
belonging to Willard P. Ward, of New York 
and Narragansett Pier, with her owner on 
board, in a fog last night crashed into the west- 
ern arm of the Point Judith breakwater. It is 
a wonder she wasn’t totally wrecked, but she 
managed to make Newport to-day under her 
own steam. 
“Nada was groping her way through the fog, 
blowing her whistle at proper intervals. 
“Capt. F. M. Allen thought he had plenty of 
sea room. The first intimation of anything 
wrong was the crash. The bow watch reported 
that the yacht had struck upon the outer arm 
of the breakwater, which surrounds the Point 
Judith harbor of refuge. 
“Capt. Allen signalled for the power to be 
reversed, and Nada backed away from the 
rocks. She struck about 9:15 o’clock. 
“Tt took only a few minutes to learn that 
Nada was filling rapidly through a ragged hole 
in the bow, and both Mr. Ward and Capt. 
Allen decided she must be beached. Blowing 
signals of distrress, Nada was headed toward 
the shelter of the breakwater, and there moored 
to a two-masted schooner laden with lumber. 
“The steamboat Frank Jones, of the Enter- 
prise line, had heard the signals of distress, and 
notified by wireless the wireless station on Point 
Judith, which in turn telephoned to the life-sav- 
ing station. 

“Capt. Tefft and Clifford Whaley, son of the 
lighthouse keeper, hurried down to the beach 
and boarded the yacht. It was then 10:20 
o’clock.- The yacht was taking in a great deal 
of water and her stem was damaged. 
“With the help of the life-savers Nada was 
steered ashore under her own steam at Sand- 
hill Cove, and all hands, including Mr. Ward, 
worked nearly all night making repairs.” 
This is the second accident to happen in al- 
most the same place. The Cavalier, a new 135ft. 
steam yacht, built this year by Robert Jacob, of 
City Island, for M. C. E. Proctor, of New 
York, from designs by Swasey, Raymond & 
Page, in running east a short time ago in a

thick fog, found herself suddenly confronted by 
that same breakwater, and in making a sudden 
turn to escape smashing into it, damaged her 
propellers, rudder and stern, only escaping 
greater damage by her ability. to turn quickly. 
Any one who has made the run from Watch 
Hill east and has been caught in that thick fog 
so common down around Point Judith, Block 
Island and Newport, can appreciate how easy 
it is to get into such trouble as these two yachts 
have done.
