UPON SHAG ROCK.
The Lost PIunger. Drifts
Ashore.
Oystermen Discover a Wreck AM
swering the Bessie's Description.
Fate of the Six Men.

Morgan & Co.'s oyster boat on her trip
to this city yesterday afternoon sighted a
stranded plunger on the south side of
Shag Rock and came about long enough to
make an inspection of the wreck.
Its description answers minutely to that
OF the plunger in which the unfortunate
boating party of six sailed to their death
last Sunday.
The wreck is half under water, and it
could not be determined whether it had
been broken up to any extent, as the
oyster-boat's crew was obliged to continue
on its course without too much loss of
time.
There is no doubt but that the stranded
boat is the DEATH trap in which the N olloy
boys and their companions shipped, and
their fate is thus definitely settled.
William Lenihan, cousin of one OF the
missing men, when told OF the discovery of
the wreck, stated without hesitation that
it answered the description of the Bessie.
Il have been satisfied all along" said he,
that the boys were drowned, knowing as
| did what rotten affair the plunger was.
If they he'd landed anywhere tie first
thing they would have done would have
been to telegraph the news 10 this city.
Il shall inform the lodges to which they
belonged. for they were all Odd Fellows
or members of the Foresters. and have a
search made for their bodies"
1t is considered very strange that no
trace of the bodies can be found, and
much conjecture is INDUCED in. One sup
position is that they have drifted on the
mud flats at the lower end of the bay
This is very probable, as the tide was run
ming in at the time the accident is sup
posed to have occurred.
If such Is the case, it will be very diff
cult to recover the remains.
Boating in the lower bay is dangerous
on account OF the shalowuess Of the
water and difficulty OF approaching any,
where near land without getting stuck in
the mud.
The wife of Michael Molloy has not
given up hope. and thinks that perhaps
some outpassng schooner picked the men
uD, could not stop TO land them and that
the plunger was abandoned and drifted
ashure.
None of the fleet which left here Sun
day night are likely to have had provisions
or accomm odatloDs for six men in addition
to their crew and would undoubtedly have
landed the party had they rescued them.
II the wreck on Shag Rock proves to be
the missing boat, whi it und oubtady Is,
then humanity speaking there is no posi-
bic doubt as TO the fate Of her crew.
Captain Hansen of the sloop Dandy is
reported TO nave sighted the Bessie in
distress at o'clock Sunday afternoon,
and gives as his reason for not going to
their rescue that several times hereto
fore he has helped distressed saiiboats
and has never been rewarded. the
bodies are supposed to be in the imme-
diata vicinity of Shag Rock and a search
party will leave the city to-day al 9o'clock
from the foot of Third street
The plnnger has hole in her starboard
bow. The planks were badly sprung. The
mast is loose. and it is thought that the
boat was struck by a squsll. which
wrenched the mast from its step and
caused the craft to spring leak.

The Fell-street sewer construction was
again the principal subject OF discussion.
John Dalton told of his experience with
the Inspector, who was paid by the city to
see that the work was properly done and
according TO specifications. When the in
spector was informed that there should be
Tour inches of concrete spread outside of
the 3X5 brick sewer he declared that 10
concrete whatever had been used on the
outside, and he was unaware that the
specifications called for the concrete. lie
Lao passed the work of the contractors and
alterward expressed himself as astonlshed
at the revelations of the evasion of. the
specifications. Whenever the sewer is un-
earthed the fraud will be exposed TO all.
Ii was reported that the clubs attorney
Is ready TO proceed with the suit OF the six
hundred property-OwnerS against the as
sessment levied for the sewer construc-
ton.
Chairman Dnnshee informed those own
ers who had been served with summons OF
suits by the contractors 10 visit the clubs
attorney, Major Mhoon, who will file de-
murrer, and The courts VIII sustain the
objections for the reason that the club
members have already commenced suit
against the contractors.

Dan Murphy selected bundle of letters
from the rolls of correspondence in his
attorneys possession and handed them to
Mr. Wheeler to be used in evidence as the
counsel desired. Like the majority of COM
munications introduced to the public this
bundle was in deepest mourning.
The som ber-looking epistles were scat
tered among the attorneys for inspection,
and IN irksome calm again settled on the
courG, while every line was carefully con-
sidered After a delay of ten minutes
Judge Henshaw told the attorneys he
would adjourn court for the afternoon to
give them an opportunity to compare and
inspect the letters before offering them in
evidence. Then the contents of the box
were turned out upon table, and every
letter yet TO be offered was scrutinized by
counsel for both sides. 1t is expected that
when court opens on Monday morning no
letters will be read aloud.
So far this is compromise between the
contestants and the defense to save
family's name as much as possible under
the circumstances.
