night, and this morning at O'Clock the
government crew, composed o. six able
bodied men, started again TO the vessel. Ii
took them en- hour and a half to reach the
brig, which was only 200 yards from the
shore.
The brig has been twenty nine days at sea.
The gale on Sunday night struck her to the
eastward, where she had been blown by adj
verse winds. The gale then blew the brig
northward till the craft struck the south bar
of the Cold Spring inlet, when the rising tide
clearing her, she went ashore ON the beach a
half mile to the westward, where she now
lies.
The crew fastened themselves up in the
cabin after failing to work the breeches buoy
and remained there till sunrise this morning,
while the seas broke over her with tremen-
dous force.
The brig is owned by John s. Emery &
Co, Boston, and will be a total loss. The
cargo, however, will probably be saved.

number of votes cast exceeds the number Of

due TO the fact that women unwittingIy
voted the entire city ticket, including the
school COMMITTEES, instead Of voting simply
for the school committee, as required by the
law
