Against the railroad trestle, Just south
of the station, this morning were piled
up a schooner yacht, a sloop yacht, two
catboats and several other smaller
craft. These were so wedged into the
trestle that traffic on the east track had
to be abandoned. all trains using the
west track.
One of these, the yawl Whistler,
owned by Hugh McRoberts, was
smashed and sunk. her crew Of three
narrowly escaping being carried down

she will sink. as the pumps are capable
of keeping her afloat.
The bales par;ly filed the slip but
