The work OF discharging the damaged
cargo of the Norwegian bark Gler is still
progressing. About 300 bales had been
DISCHARGED up to dark last night. Messrs
Bergman & Kehoe deserve great credit
for the manner in which the work is being
done. They will probably finish the work
By tomorrow. The crew is still kept at
the pumps and the water is held down
pretty well.
The cargo taken out by the British
steamship Dragoman is the largest cargo
ever taken out of this port, and is I'M
dOubtedly the LARGEST ever taken from
any South Atlantic port. The Dragoman
will sail this morning for her destination.
The entire cargo of 1925 bales was taken
in the ship at Haywood & Cages ice
wharf, and she was not compelled to
drop to Venus point, as is usual,
with vessels of her size and class, to finish
loading. If she gets to sea without
grounding it is a good evidence of the
| Improvement in the river and of a greater
depth OF water, as no vessel ever went
from the dock to sea with so large cargo
before.
