On Sunday last, Capt Cole, formerly of |
the Sallie List, while on his way down the |
river with fiatboat load of hoop poles, |
ran on to the wreck of the jeff Thompson.
The bottom was torn out of his boat, and |
most Of his cargo was lost; This wreck we
have alluded to on more than one occasion |
since the Totten claimed to have blown it /
up. 1t Is now within some two feet of the /
surface, and is much more dangerous than
ever before. Boatmen should be cautious
Of this obstruction. 1t should be removed |
lmm ediately.
