''Old Man" lying just outside tina; Harbor,

| came back into the harb0r for more help.
| bringing the captain and his men. but return

/ to give up the schooner to the captain. although

/ abandoned and lowed her into Indian Harbor.
| where she now lies, considerably damaged aud
| partly filled with water. Her cargo will be
nearly all saved. The captain is young man
and this is his first start in life. He is sole
owner of the vessel. The case has excited
| much interest.
