the wrecked Canadian propeller Enter
prise off North Point reef and had her tow
ed to this city Thursday. The vessel Is not
damaged to great extent, and one steam
pump easily kept her free of water. She
was placed in one of the slips at the bay
shore mill of the Minor Lumber Co. and
allowed to settle to the bottom. There
Is considerable OF the wheat yet In her.
AS the vessel is OF foreign build, she can
not get an American register, but 1t is
said by leaving her wreck for one year
she can then be repaired and become an
American vessel. She was purchased by
Mr.. Gilchrist while on the reef, and IL Is
probable he will convert her into a lum-
Der barge. Most OF the machinery Is yet
I'm the wreck.
