ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER D. w.
WTLsoN-Whlle this steamer was off
Fairport, passing down the lake last
Saturday morning about 2 o'clock, she
ran into the wreck of the bark Board of
Trade, whose masts were standing high
above the water. There were no lights
on the wreck, and the Wilson ran be-
tween the masts of the bark carrying
away the foremast and probably doing
other damage The steamer returned to

getting the balance. The lightship sta
toned at Bar Point during the severe
weather of Saturday night was driven
ashore and soon after sunk. The work
of raising her will be attended to atonce,
and it is very important that she should I
be at her post from this time until the
close of navigation.
