The steamer Flora had the misfor-
tune to break her cross head last
Friday when near Middle Island.
The steamer City of Mackinac hap

hand, and took the disabled Flora in
tow, arriving at this port with her
Friday afternoon. The Flora was on
her way down, being on her 26th trip.

sideways caused the rumor that she
had again broke down. She left for
Detroit Monday morning.
