John Hathaway, James Fields and John
Hinds, hired boat at Long bridge about II

back steamer Wetmore, which is lying in

reaching the steamer, but up to a late hour
last night had not returned. A strong flood
tide was running. and the wind was from
the northwest, blow ing directly up the bay,

accident would in all probability have been
seen by some one on board the many vessels
at anchor in that part of the bay.
