NORFOLK, VA, Feb. 2.-Thc wrecking tugs
have all returned from the scene Of the wreck
of the Metropolis, and report that terrible surf
is breaking all along the shore with strong
southery current Nothing is visible Of the
wreck but her stern drivers, all the woodwork
being gone. The CygneI and other steamers
that went by tho way of the canal will not ar
rive here until late to- night or carly 10 the
morning. 1t is the general opinion of the
wrcckers that the Metropolis grounded at low
tide which kept her from forging closer in
shore, having Dothine but her sails to
hold her head CO. The vessel from the
force of the surf came to with her side exposed
TO the sweeps of che surf thereby causing SO
much loss Of life. the people on her deck being
unable to hold on.
