| wharf on Tuesday night. hut II is thought
that some malicious person cast her loose
and she drifted against a pile, broken or
/ below the surface of the water. When the
tide went out the sloop settled upon the
pile and her weight forced the snag
/ through her bottom and she soon filled
/ with water. In order to release the vessel
/ the pile was drawn out through her hull.
/ then to get at the hope for repairs they
/ were trying TO haul her over on her side
/ by using the mast for a lever. The mast
/ broke and fell, striking Capt. Goode on
I the head and body with such force that
| it was thought for a while that he was

| and a physician was called who revived
/ him, but at this writing he is in a very dan
gerous condition.
