The Ella Reached.
The Steamer Ella recently purchased by
our fellow townsman. Mr.. George F. Brady,
and was running between Smyrna and
Philadelphia as passenger and freight
boat and was doing fine business, met
with an accident during the snow storm
Tuesday night. On her return trip while
attempting 10 hug the western shore she
mistook the lights Of the Delaware
iron works at New Castle for those of the
light house, and in consequence struck up
on the old coal wharf and stove three
holes in the hull. Not thinking that The
vessel was injured seriously the captain
proceeded down the river and had reached
the light house when it was found that she
was leaking badly.
The captain put the vessel about and
made an attempt to reach New Castle, but
found that he could not reach the main
wharves, and the vessel was beached and
all hands went ashore.
The boat is neary filed with water at
high tide. At low water she is almost
bare and can be repaired. She was well
laden with groceries and provisions for
points in Kent county.
There were four passengers on board and
with the crew they took to the small boats
and made the shore. The snow storm was
said to be binding. It was about $50 in the
evening.
Mr.. John W. Watkins, the manager, was
on the Ella at the time. He came down to
Middletown on the midnight, notified Mr..
Brady and they went to New Castle the
next morning where they made arrange
ments for raising the boat and taking her
to Wilmington for repairs.
