examination of her bottom, made by
Sub-Marlne Diver Harmon. The du-
ties of the diver were completed about

The following marine news is from
Saturdays Headlight:
The steamer Truckee came to the

struck on the sand, breaking her pro-
pellor. AS the tide was going out she
drifted out safely and anchored. As
the Augusta came in she spoke the
rruckee and preliminary arrangements
for towing her in were made. On
| Wednesday morning the Augusta went
out, but terms could not be made. The
Augusta wanted $1,000 for towing her
n and the Truckee was willing to pay
only $10O, so the passengers were
| transferred to the Augusta and the
Truckee set sail for San Francisco, ex-
pecting to make repairs there.
