ASH0REINTHE BREAKERS
THE BARK BESSIE STRANDED OFF
ST. GATHERINGS.

The Vessel Discovered by the Revenue
Cutter Boutwell, and a Boat Sent Off,
but the Crew Refuses to Abandon
the Ship-1he Bark in Ballast, and
Likely to Become a Total Wreck.
The officers of the revenue cutter Bout
well, at anchor Off the Ocean Steamship
wharves, report that the British bark
Bessie went ashore OFF st. GATHERINGS at
2:30 o'clock Sunday morning. She was
seen from the Boutwell, as the latter was
coming up the coast. The cutter sent off a
boat to rescue the crew, but they refused to
abandon the vessel
A Doboy pilot was aboard, but the off
GERS of tho Boutwell, do not think there is
any hope OF getting the Bessie off, and she
will probably prove a total wreck. 1t is
probable that the bark mistook the inlet
and went ashore in St. Catharine's sound,
as she is off her course and in the sands.
With the rough weather and breakers
there does not seem to be any hope that she
can be gotten off. The Boutwell, was un-
able to afford the Bessie any help as the
bark was too far in shore and the weather
wouldn't permit
The Bessie sailed from Marseilles April %
IN ballast, bound for Darien, and must have
taken the pilot aboard after going ashore.

JOHNSON SQUARE.
a Suggestion That the Grass be
Watered in Dry Weather.


Editor Morning Net0s: Some weeks ago
the city went to considerable expense IN
putting johnson square in order. 1t took
down the iron fence, placed fine curbing,
reset the walks, and sodded the edges and
bald spots of the grass with Bermuda grass.
This was well done, and beautiful square
was the result
Then it set man to cutting the grass.
This was essential, Then came dry sea-
SON, within which time scarcely drop OF
water was poured upon the square except
at the roots of young trees, and the grass
parched, and In places turned black and
bare.
Lately we had rain, and the square looks
better, but still the burnt and bare spots re-
main in testimony of the curious system
which plants grass in public places, and
then permits it to die, as If the previous
cost and the lost beauty count for nothing.
Thus people are confirmed in their prevl-
Gus opinion and say; "Oh, we can't nave
a good turf on the coast"
The fact is that no owner of lawn at the
north, the rich greenness of which we adj
mire as we ride by in summer, dreams of
permitting it to 60 unwatered in dry
weather, if the lcdter be procurd6te, and
where it is beyond the reach of water, the
lawn burns away under the sun therepre
cisely as it does here.
The only difference between those owners
and us is this, that they water if they can.
We do not. Nature is so prodigally bount1-
full TO us, that we presume upon her kindness,
and do not take the ordinary means of i'm
proving what we have.
1t IS said to be question of cost. How
much would it cost to have man attach
large hose and pipe to fire plug for one
hour at night three times a week and water
the squared Would it cost dollar weeks
And if it costs two dollars a week, would
that justify the loss of what has been so we'll
and extensively done. OBSERVER.
