THE McALLIsFER.
Report af capt. shepard. of the Revenue
Cutter Mclean.

Report of Capt. shepard. of the Revenue
Gutter Mclean.
No definite news has as yet been received
concerning the fate Of the crew Of the missing
dredgeboat McAlistsr. From the, following
report published in the Galveston Ne,cs, there
appears TO be no doubt that the Inflated yes
sci liz lost. Great hopes are. however. enter
tHined that some Of the crew have been saved,
III they wore provided with good strong boats
with all proper appurtenances. We sincerely
wish that such may be the case. and that their
anxious families will soon be relieved from
the awful suspense that has been SO long try
ing their souls:
The cutter left this port at | a. M. Tuesday
last and steered southwest by south 14o miles
to d point off Arkansas Pass TO Corpus Christi
Bay; thence due east $50 miles. thence due
north 40 miles; thence due west 81 miles.
Here was picked up the MeAllister's skylight
and board attached, In latitude n deg. 46
min, longitude 90 deg. As min. From the
drift OF the current 1t appeared that the sky
light came from northeastety direction.
Steered ON that course IA miles, and picked
up the skylght rail, on which is secured tack
ling for raising the windows of the skylight.
Still keeping this course 20 miles further,
part Of the Inflated vessels companion-way
was picked up. After running on this course
80 miles further, the course OF the vessel was
changed toward Galveston. n distance of 125
miles. Total cruise Of TIC miles.
The skylight, companion way and rail were
recognized as part of the MeAster by Capt.
Davis Capt Miller and Capt. Shepard. Tho
board attached to the skylight was recognized
MS tabletop from pieces Of venecring and
from piece of oilcloth evidently torn from
the board and wrapped around n rope which
secured the board to the light The rope was
tied In a granny knot, making O space large
enough to admit a mans body. The ends of
the rope seemed to have been chewed and ii is
surrnised that man was tied on the light and
In his furnishing state resorted to the dry ma
terial for sustenance; the oilcloth being used
TO prevent chatting of his body. Around the
skylight. when discovered in the water, there
were several sharks playing, and none
being seen about the companion-way, it il
presumable that lives had been intrusted to
the former piece of wreck, and when OK
hausted were devoured by the voracous ter
rurs OF the deep. On the companion-way
we're observed small barnacles, and there
was also mud on 1t when found Both these
facts would seem to indicate that this piece Of
wreck had been at the bottom, where the
dredge doubtless WENT and was broken off by
the vessel keeling over The pieces of wreck
will probably be sent to New Orleans for the
inspection Of government officers there. That
the dredge has been lost no one who has
learned Of the report of the cutter seems to
doubt. As for the crew. hopes are still enter
tanned that some of them may yet be picked
up, and time only will reveal the facts. The
most tenahle supposition Is that the dredge
and her people were lost together
