crew were taken off by Government transport,
in which they were taken to Baltimore. Some
Of them arrived in Philadelphia on Tuesday
night. Most Of the cargo, it is thought, will be
lost, though the vessel may be saved. Tho
Caymont belonged to W. P. Clyde & Co., who
we're her shippers also It is not known what
caused the leak, though the belief on board was
that y was caused by the bending of the screw,
which forced IL against the stern, aud worked a
hole in 1t. The water entered so fast that
blankets and other bei-clolhes were used to
check 1t. Fortunately the weather was clear,
and the Chesapeake as smooth as the Delaware
usually is.
