Fire engine water deluge drenches steamer crowd scene
Passengers aboard the steamer Boundary Norfolk were soaked by a high discharge from a new American-French motor fire engine tested on the Mutual Ice Company pier. Firemen failed to redirect the stream, sending a wall of water across the river toward the vessel as it approached the Norfolk and Washington pier. Witnesses and officials observed the feat while the crowd retreated to cabins.
