United States steamer wrecked.

MANCHESTER, MASS. Jan. S.-Thc
United States revenue steamer Gala tin
was wrecked oil Manchester a. ILLS
Wednesday morning. The Gallatin
started from Kittery. Me-, this morning
bound across the bay to Prlncetown with
two officers short. The patent log was
set al 9:j5, and the weather became
thick and it soon began to snow. The
course OF the vessel was then changed,
intending to make Gloucester for har-
Dor. Soon the quartermastcr male land
and the engine was slowed.
The pilot took the land to be Kettle
Bottom Island, but instead was Great
Egg RCck. With this idea, the boat
started ahead, due east, heading for
Eastern Paint. At ILLS the vessel
struck on sunken ledge. The engine
was stopped and backed, but the ship
was last. She began pounding heavily,
and the captain called the men to man
the boats. In the meantime the ship
was rolling heavily an filling rapidly,
as heavy sea had carried away The
slylights.
The smoke stack going by the board
to the starboard struck and instantly
killed j. Jacobson. carpenter. in tile bow
OF the cutter at the davits, and carried
the body overheard. The vessel was
sinking fast, and all hands took to the
boats and sighted land on the port side.
They pulled. and after attempting TO
land on the beach, reached Rocky Cove
on Eagle Head. The boats were left on
the beach, except one, which was carried
around to the west and bcached on the
sand. This boat was saved, but the
others dritled off with the tide.
The officers and crew were wet to the
SKIN, and went Immediately TO the house
otJ. l.. BabcoCk, where shelter was pro-
vided. The officers were taken to the
Manchester House and the crew sent TO
Boston.
