Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. ? Tragedy was averted by the narrowest of margins Thursday evening when a 16-foot Starcraft found itself in the path of a downbound tug and barge on the St. Marys River.
According to reports from the Chippewa County Sheriff Office, the captain of the Starcraft was well ahead of the tug and barge combo when he attempted to cut across the river, running out of gas directly in their path. The operators of Zeus, pushing the Robert F. Deegan, were unaware of the smaller boat?s situation and continued to bear down on the little Starcraft.

I would assume that this would now be let go of pretty cheaply.
