the Beavers, and reached here this morn
ing with the schooner in tow for Ash

be supposed from the time she was on
and storms exposed to. One steam pump
keeps her free.
The tug J. W. Bennett left yesterday
10 recover anchors and chains from the
schooner Lawrence. 1t is probable that
an effort will be made to raise the hull,
as an examination showed it to be in
good condition. The spars are broken
off at the saddles. Last Sunday two
anchors, large one and smaller one,
had been raised.
The captain of the Rhodes refused
to deliver his report at the canal office
on Sunday afternoon, and until he
would do so the canal men would not
release his lines. He cut his lines, how
ever, and slipped away, swearing that
he would never take another report to
that office. Perhaps not. He is proba-
bly, thinking Of navigating the rapids in
the future.--Chippe,ua County Ne,cS.
