The Citizen, here is a summary:
A 24-foot power boat traveling at high speed was sighted by the M/S Mt. Washington at about 3:10 AM Saturday. It struck rocks at Eagle Island's shoreline, and "sailed through the trees". The boat's operator was charged with DWI.

"The three aboard were uninjured, and were sighted standing at the end of the island's only dock and signaling for help with a road flare...The boat came within 15 feet of the island's sole house and knocked its electrical wires down, but the house was otherwise unscathed...We're not sure how they're going to get that boat out of there," said [NHMP's] Ouellette .

COMMENT: It seems that the early morning hours are bad hours to be anywhere near alcohol and boating. However, staying within the confines of your island house remains a relatively safe place to be.
