The SCuOONBRD. II. INGRAHAh's HATCHEs
OPENED.-The schooner ID. II. Ingraham,
Captain Greeley, from Rocklsnd, with
lime, which has been heretofore reported
rs having her cargo aiirc, had her hatches
opened Monday, aid was found apparently
all right so far as the fire was concerned,
the flames having to all appearances been
smothered by keeping the schoOner's
matches tightly battened down and exclu-
ding rs far as practicable all air from the
hold. The fire in the Ingraham's cargo
was discovered on the 14th OF last Septem-
ber, while on her voyage hither, and
when she was about two hundred miles
northeast OF Cape Henry. Captain
Greeley Immediately made his vessels
hold as Albright as possible and continued
his voyage to Hampton Roads, where he
took tow up James river, and reached City
Point on the 18th Of September. He kept
his vessel at City Point until the 10th OF
October, and then brought her up to Rich
mond and moored her TO the wharf near
the old sugar-refinery, in Rockets, out OF
the way Of other vessels, so that in case
the burning lime got beyond control
no other craft in the river could be
endangered. The vessel being opened,
as above stated, and there being no
signs Of fire, she was hauled up into the
dock Yesterday, and the work OF discharg-
ing her cargo will be begun as soon rs pos
sib!e. The lime is consigned TO Mr.. X.
Wendenburg. AS TO the damage resulting
from the fire nothing can now be definitely
stated, and il cannot be ascertained until
after the vessel is unloaded. The Ingra
ham has been singularly unfortunate in the
matter OF fires, this being the third time
her cargo has been afire within the past
few years. Twice she has been in that con-
dition in this port the first time it having
been found necessary to scuttie and sink
her in the dock i'm order to put the fire out. |
