A private letter, dated New Orleans, April 2oth
says:
1.-THE Joe Briarley is at New Orleans undergoing
REPAIRS from what came near being serious acc
dent on her last trip to Jefferson. In coming
through the lake the wind blew her out OF her
marks, causing the pilot to lose his reckoning
somewhat and run over a stump on the side OF the
Blind Bayou, which she was in at the time. She
struck forward, splitting the stern, and being urf
der headway ran entirely over It, breaking her
floor timbers from the forward to the after hatch,
not breaking all of them, but missing some and
breaking others She was nearly on an even keel,
having trimmed up to come through the cut road
above where she struck. Had she been foot Oh
eighteen inches by the head, the whole bottom
would have been torn out. Think there are about
sixty floor tinibers broken"
