the salt spray which continual y da shed over
her. Capt. Howcs stated that the weather
during the passage was terrific.

BONDS TO BE REPRINTED.

An Error VIII Lead TO the Destruc.
tiun of Few Hundred Thousand.
An error has been discovered in the print
ing OF the back OF some OF the new bonds,
which will necessitatc their destruction
and reprinting.
1t affects only few hundred thousand
bonds. The error consists in having a part
of the back of the new bonds different in
design from the back OF the bonds issued
on February l. 1895.
The bonds issued then were per cent
thirty-year-old bonds. AMI those issued now
are of the same issue. being dated February
1, 1895, and must therefore be identical
In all respects.
To correct the error will. 1t is said, cost
but little, and Chief Johnson, Of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing. says it Will not
cause any delay in the delivery of the bonds.

Ell Mary Sprague, which sailed from
Brunswick Ca. on May Is, was towed up
from out the bay by the tug Kate Jones
this morning, and Captain Poland re-
ported that ne believed ten persons
had been drowned from the three-masted
schooner with which his vessel was
in collision in South Channel in a fog
Friday night The Mary Sprague was
leaking badly when the Kate Jones
went TO her assistance. In the collision
she lost her bowsprit. jibboom and all
headgear Her bow was stove In.
Captain Poland said the schooner
Mary Spraguc. with q cargo OF hard
lumber. left Brunswick, Ga, on MAY 10.
While in the South Channel Friday night
his vessel was enveloped in dense fog
suddenly the Mary Sprague came in
collision with an unknown three-masted
schooner. which was apperantly in bal
asst trim and outward bound. The
Spraguc struck the unknown vessel
abaft the fore rigging. and what dam
age resulted TO the unknown craft could
not be ascertained, although IL Is thought
| she must have been seriously injured
and probably sunk.
Ten persons were seen ont the vessel
and among them was q woman. 1t Is
| thought that the vessel was bound to n
Southern port The vessels came to-
gether with n terrific crash. Had the
Sprague not been loaded with lumber
she would have gone to the bottom, as
her bow was stove in. the water pour
Ing in In vast quantities After the
| vessels had separated the wreckage was
cut adrift from the Sprague. and Cap
tain Poland patched the damaged bow,
using nearly bale of oakum in the
operation.
Previous to the accident fog horn
was sounded at intervals from the deck
| of the unknown vessel, and was answer
ed from the Sprague. Suddenly the
huge hull doomed up in the fog and dark
ness, and the Sprague was kept of.
Captain Poland thinking that the an
preaching craft would keep clear, but
she came towards the SpIague at ouch
a rapid rate of speed that collision
was unavoidable.
The threemasted schooners Carrie IT.
Baiano and Stephen G.. Loud left Bos-
| ton for Savannah. Ga, last Friday, and
the Josephine EllicQ:t left for Fernan-
dina. The unknown craft may pos .ibly
have been one of these vessels.
