remarkable trips on record. On her way
up the Arkansas, at Red Fork, she picked
up some kind of an obstruction, which
knocked q hole in her hull ON th~elarboard

pass q -four barrel through. Owing to the
piled in the hull, the hole could
not be reached in time to prevent sinking.
Capt. Rice ordered her on a sandbar. upon
she was hauled as far as a stern line
an anchor forward could pun her. Here
,he settled down until the water reached
ler starboard guards. The freight Wasre-
moved, a double bulkhead was built, and
he space filled or packed in with dirt, the
pumps were put to work, and in q few

way to Little Rock. Notwithstanding her
misfortune she made the round trip on
lime, went on Ii docks yesterday, and
