The Connecticut experienced consider
able difficulty in leaving Troy on Monday
night. After several attempts, made to
head her down stream had failed an i'm
mense hawser which held her to the dock
was cut by those on board of the boat
At about the same instant it was through
mistake flung from the dock into the river
with the expectation that it would be
safely hauled on the boat. AS this was
impossible the cable was lost. Another
rope which connected the Connecticut
and Golden Gate, by some mishap got en-
tangled with one OF the wheels of the lat
ter vessel and before it could be prevent
ed the wheel was considerably broken.
At last, through the combined efforts Of
the Cate and tug the Connecticut war
got under wy. On Tuesday morning
the Vanderbilt was unable TO lind AT her
dock. and after severe struggle with the
tide She reached the Rensselaer, and Sara
togt railroad dock on Green Island, and
before she was secured TO the dock several
ropes which had been fastened to lumber
piles to prevent their foatrg off were
broken and lumber went down raidly.
