Capt. Waldo Hill of schr. Henrietta, which
was abandoned at sea few days age, arrived
home last night. His injuries from the falling
! rigging were very painful but not serious. 1t
gave him severe blow upon the head and dis
located his shoulder. Mr.. Elijah Emmons of
Saco, one of the mates, was but 81 ghtly injured.
They passed the last four days upon the wreck,
in one of the upper berths of the cabin, the
only part of the vessel out of water, without
food or drink. Capt. Hill reports the story of
the vessels being picked up at sea and towed
into port since, as improbable and without
foundation.

destructive freshet followed carving away
nearly all the bridges of Biddeford and Saco.
