The st. Louis Republican of the I'd
says;
The Kate Kinney arrived yesterday
morning and was taken upon Thomas
docks to be repaired. The injury to her
hull commences at the stem, and is O
clean break eight inches wide. The con.
c%lusion is arrived at, from the cleanness
of the cut, that it was done by an iron
obstruction. About seventy timbers are
cut or broken, and it will take about all
the week to do the necessary repairs.
The obstruction lies below Kinney's
Point, after making the crossing. The
Helena hit the same obstruction, which
the Anchor Line has, we believe, made
arrangements to buoy. At all events
the snag boat S. Il. Long has been or.
dered up to Devils Island and vicinity,
and will remove a number Of obstruc.
tons, and, if possible, the one in ques-
ton, which makes no ripple on the wa.
ter's surface. The Helena broke a num-
Der of timbers and will be taken on the
marine ways upon her arrival.
