THE sAND.
As to the claim that The Ina threw sand Into
malicious fa1schootl. No one % The Frolic
saw any sand in tho wake Of the Ina, and tho
story attributed to the crew OF the Fro1ic that
they saw II is coyardly stack on tho
veraclty Of those gentlemen. There was not
an ounce Of sanl OIL the Ina. Ilcr bal
last was Of pig load, z, pounds to the
pig, and dtwcnty-four pigs on board. a TnlnuNR
reporter examined tile ballast and examined the
cabin, and there was nothing In TINT cabin but
an extra stay-sai', twenty-fnlr pigs of lead, two
small oars, two looking glasses, y by 4, two
pictures Of tho Ina, four cunts, two Bkull-eaps,
an ice.watcr tank, two baskets Of provisions, .
tin, dippcr, md pint bottle Of whisky, going
out, and any empty pint bottle coming back.
Thu reporter ppGiicd every locker aud examined
every granny, asid there was not grain Of sand
on the, boat, nor was thcro my dirty water
either fl tho wake Of the 1ua or Under tho bow
of the Frolfc. It Is IN outrage to attribute any
such statement to the people OF tho Frollc, for
they are gentlemen, mud will not Ito to win
race.
A statement was made yesterday TINT Capt.
