IAN old sesmboatmsn who visited the City
OF Greenyille reports it TO be the most COM
! plete and terrible wreck he has ever seen.
After she had sunk and slipped from off the
sandoar, the upper deck, together with the
cabin, parted from the hull, which was lying
in 80 or 40 feet of water Tho smokestscks
remained in position and the upper decks
slipped along 10 the top of them and were
held there by chimney and a wire rope
which chung firmly 10 the hull. The tag
arrived and at once began the work OF saving
the furniture, etc. Each state-room was cul
open and nearly all the furniture in them, az
| we'll as in the cabin, was saved, though much
damaged. Fully 80 skiffs were found around
The wreck, like vultures around carcass
and as box OF freight or anything valuable
would pop up TO the surface there would be
a general scramble for 1t. Three double
barreled shotguns were necessary to keep of
TO sleep on the. floating mass in the rain L
save NOV sbles from being stolen. There il
about 700 tons of freight in tue hull, most O
which, together with the 10 machinery, will ye
