when of Georges Island was run into by
ibe steamer Gamma. which was lust COM

made by those on board both vessels are
yery clear. and The accident seems 10 have
been the result OF mistaken signals. The
Gamma was steaming very slowly, and con-
seoueptiy could not answer her helm quick
IT,. The Widdrngi0n appeared to be under
n nreity good head OF steam, and was cross
ing the Iormei's track, heading toward The
CITY. AS soon a. this was perceived, the
Gamma reversed her engines under iuil
speed and ported her helm, but before she
conld lose her Roadway she ran into The
Widdripotou. The Gamma had her stern
twisted aud a few bOw-pIates started, Dut
beyond this she sustained 90 very serious
damage. The Widdrington ran into the
nas wharf with crash thai might nave
been heard half a mile of. She was i0uod
with her bow two or three yards into tue
wharf, and apparently sinking.
The vessel has settled aground her entire
length. As the tide has sill two hours or
more 10 rise. sue will probably be covered
AZ high water. All the perishable hxtures
in the cabin and elsewhere are OF course
seriously damaged, out the full extent OF
damages To tie vessel it was impossible 10
ascertain. Lighters were sent Tor 10 save
what was possible. The cargo, loaded al

corn, A. 900 bushels OF which IS III bags ana

As the vessel Is full OF wafer, the corn VIII

valuable part OF the cargo, being worth
