of the Point of the Hook, where she went ashore
The telegraphic operator at Sandy Hook informs us
that she is ashore about fifty rods from the
Telegraph Office, inside the channel buoy, and
that she would be got of at high water
At u o'clock this morning she still aground in the
same place aud it not probable she would be got
of before morning. The steamtug Titan was along
side There was no surf where the steamer lay, and
if it held calm there was no danger but should a
heavy easterly or norh-westerly wind spring up, it
would be likely to do considerable damage.
