The CUTTER GRANT CoLLIDEs WITH A
ScHooNER.-The United States revenue steam
cutter Grant appears to be unfortunate in Maine
waters. At Rockland she went ashore and
burst hole in her bottom, and row she col
lides with schooner off this halbor and the
former sinks. The cutter left here at o clock
Wednesday night and about eleven collded
with the schooner Don Pedre loaded with freight
and passengers for st. john, N. B., from Bos'
ton.
at the time of the collision there was thick
fog and the schooner had no port light set,
which, with the absence of torch light and fog
horn, made the accident possible. The cutter
was under steam, running for New York, and
at 10 o'clock was going at half speed, as she
was approaching a fog bank coming from the
southeast. AT intervals the fog lifted, shutting
down thick in the next few minutes. At 10 so,
the steamer still moving cautiously and blow
ing its whistle every twenty seconds, the look
outs discovered a schooner about three-quarters
of mile ahead, one pont on the starboard
bow In the next moment saw her starboard
light distinctly, and then the fog covered the
schooner. The cutters engine was slowed, and
it was expected that the schooner, running be-
fore moderate breeze with following sea,
would pass the steamer. Almost Immediately
thereafter the schooner appeared heading to the
eastward across the steamers course. The en-
gines were at once stopped and backed, and the
helm put hard-a-starboard, but the schooner
came on at the rate of about six miles an hour
and struck the starboard bow of the Grant In
an instant the steamer was clear of the schoen-
or, having gathered stern way. The cutters
launch was in the water Immediately, manned
and differed, and went to the schooner, which
was found cut in her port fore chains so badly
that she was sinking. The captain, crew and
passengers, with portion of their personal eff
fects were taken off and carried to Boston. Be-
sides the captain of the schooner there were
nine persons-Gilbert Green, mate; John Will
cox, seaman; Isaac Ralph, seaman; Wallace
Green, cook. As passengers-Mrs Jane Riggs
and daughter, Mrs. Sarah Cumberland and two
boys. The Dom Pedro was about ten years old
English built, valued at sbout $4,000, and had
general cargo valued at about $4,000.
