At Pensacola, a day or two ago, when
the Russian bark Altai was weighing anchor,
preparatory to going to sea, the officers,
crew and pilot were surprised to find ths
ship hove short with the f1fteen-fathom
shackle just out of the water. Just after
ward there was very severe ST ain on the
cable, and the captain, the mates and the
pilot lent the crew hand at the windaSs.
The heaving was heavy, but, at length, the
cause of the difficulty was ascertalned, as
one end of piece of timber, with the cable
wound around it, appeared above the sur
face. In about three hours the captain had
slowed on deck a piece of oak, GO feet long
by 17xlS inches, and the ship went t. sea.
1t was a valuable find as, although the
piece must have lain on the bottom of the
bay for years, the teredo had done it but
little damage.

disposal. The money consisted of bills and
silver. The safe contained number of
notes and other valuable papers but these
not being negotiable and liable to tell tales,
were scattered about upon the floor in front

Jasper Times: Uncle Try Allen was told
before he s.arted to Bsllville, on Tuesday,
that if he crossed the Alapaha he would
have to swim his horse before he struck the
iron bridge, and TIE way the river was
rising, he wouldn't get back at all. Tn

over, but on his return he found the river
terribly swollen. He was kindly put acr0s

Roebuck and Sidney Putnal Then
these gentlemen attempted to cross
the main stream, but as the boat
was struck by the current it was hurled
against the bridge. quivered moment,
turned over and shot under water. 1t was
seen once after, then disappeared again.
Messrs. Roebuck and Putnal saved them
selves by clnging to the bridge and getting
up on the same. Both are good swimmers,
and say they would have escaped anyway.
But they might have been knocked senseless
had they not gotten out. Uncle Ury finally
