Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-12-03

A telegTEn1 received last evening from
All authoritative source states that the
Katie was bonded yesterday, and her
salvage and tOWage bills - the
former amounting to ten thousand
dollars, End the latter to three thousand
dollars, were satisfactorily arranged;
also that she would be d0eked and re-
paired at once, and might &c expected
again to put in an appearance - our
wharf within two weeks.
The Katie's damaged cotton, three
hundred and eighteen bales, was sold at
New Orleans, at auction, day last
week, and averaged sixty-six dollars
Per bkle.
The furniture aHd rigging saved from
the st. Marys will, we learn, be sold here
at auction from the steamer Eckert,
either this week or next.
The Fort Gibson goes to the Arkansas
tomorrow evening. Shippers will make
a note OF the fact, and get their freight
to the wharfboat IN time.
The Mallie RagOn HAD on at dark last
night nearly eight hundred bales Of
cotton for Cincinnati, which she takes
to Cincinnati. Nothing further in re-
gard to the steamer Little Rock, sunk in
the Arkansas river, had been received
up to q late hour last night, by the Off
GERS of the Memphis and Arkansas
HiTsr Packet Company.
The Wre9Eer Eekert came down Just
at dark last tight from the wreck Of the
st. Marys, and had hey guards piled full
of cotton saved from that boat, but did
not land. She turned around, but again
pointed her nose down stream to the
wreck of the u, Clay Wilson, the par
ticulars Of the sinking of which viii be
found in this column. Reese Dugan,
the Eckert's commodore, and Capt.
SCbenek of the Wilson, were on the
Turner when the Eckert came in sight,
and probably we're taken on board.
There is scant eight feet of water at
Reeves, and six feet scarf Is reported
above here at Point Pleasant, where
yesterday the Bismarck, Carrie V.
KOuntz, James Howard and Glencoe
were reported dOuble-tripping it over
that bar.
The kittie Hegler, sunk at MillerspOrt
on the Ohio, has been raised, and will be
repaired.
Still another boat sunk. By the ar
rival Of Captain Schenck Yesterday, we
learn that the Steamer H. Clay Wilson,
en- route from New Orleans to Cincin-
matt, with two barges and two coal flats,
the two former loaded with rice ard su-
gar, when going into the bank to make
a landing at the foot Of the bend lust De-
low Island Seyenty-One, at three o'clock |
last Friday morning, was carried by
the wind upon an obstruction there, and
. hole sixteen inches square Knocked in
knuckle, that caused her to fill
rapidly and sink with her stern resting
upon the bank in eight or nine feet of
water, and the bow down in very deep
water-sO deep in fact, that her pilot
house Is barely visible. So rapidly did
she go down, that the officers, crew, and
passengers barely escaped to the shore, |
and the chambermaid was severely in /
jured by a fall she got when the boat
went down, and was brought here by the
II. s. Turner last night, and sent to the
hospital. Several Of the crew received
light bruises, but other than this there
were none injured, and no lives lost.
The h. Clay Wilson was owned by
Captain. A. 5, Schenck, of Vevay, In
diana, her commander. Was worth ten
thousand dollars, and not insured.
She had a light cargo of sugar and rice,
as well as fruit and assorted merchan-
disc, the greater portion Of which was
for Cincinnati, and, from the best in
formation we could obtain, will be a
total loss. Captain Schenck came up
On the Turner with some of his crew,
and, We understand, entered protest
here before Notary BOughner, and acct
1entally meeting Captain Reese Dugan,
Of the wrecker Eckert, as mentioned
elsewhere, at Once secured the services
Of the Eckert to so down TO his boat.
