vsuld have been at the wharf hers at !.
10 or III O'Clock of the Alb. Ia reply to
vour correspondence question AS to
hov the ship happened to run on the
sand spit At the entrance OF Soov Bsy,
toe Cnief Essiueer said that owing TO
darkness aud a hazy atmosphere, Mar
rowstone Point, commonly called Pint
RiuRRold, was set visible, bat the high
land TO the right had that appearance.
and IL was mistaken for Msrrswstone
Point, while Ssow Bay, which Is quite a
larse sheet OF water, was taken for a
continuation of the Sound. The spit
across the bay was not seen until after
the vessel struck. Several vessels have
been ashore at the same place on
account Of she same mistake. Ihe San
Pedro Is not 10 any manner injured, a.
sue has not leaked drsp, and outside
the rubbing of paint of her bottom ana
the parting OF a new hawser, she Is IN
the same good condition. The tugs
fyee and Tacoma have the credit OF
floating the steamer, as they pulled on
nawsers from her stern, while the
Goliah and Holyoke worked their en-
gines alongside.
Captain Msmford informed your cor
respondent that there are at present
500 tons Of coal 10 the buukers. and
that though he has loaded the San
Pedro in seven hours. on account of the
high tides in the day time. he would
have her loaded by tomorrow night, so
that she could go 10 sea Tuesday
