STEAMER JOHN KYLE SUNK.
The steamer John Kyle from New Or
leans bound for st. Louis, left this port
Friday at l2l o'clock pm, and at 81 am.
when about miles above Commerce, Mo-,
and while going over Grand Chain, she |
struck the rocks, and sunk and now lies
with five feet water over the main deck.
The leak is on the larboard side and ex-
tends nearly across the kclsom. She is
resting on the rocks with 9 feet Of water
on the larboard, and feet water on the
starboard side. Captain Davidson re-
| turned TO this port, and secured the sery-
ices of the T. f. Eckert which lett for the
scene of accident yesterday
| forenoon. 1t is said that
she can be raised. Her cargo consists
principally of sugar and molasses, and il
is feared the greater portion of the sugar
will be badly damaged. At the time II
the accident the moon was shining bright
~, and the pilots could see ahead Of them
some distance, and the general opinion Is
that she was drawing more water than
there was on the rocks. This is the third
serious accident she has met with, since
she has been built.
