PACIFIC AGAIN DAMAGED.


LAND COLLTDED WITH HER AT
CHERRY ISLAND.
The steam dredge Pacific, owned by
w. n. Brainard & Bros, OF New York,
which has been at work on the Cherry
Island flats, in the Delaware river OPP
posite Wilmington, was run into and
damaged yesterday by the steamer
Pennland.
The dredge was in the western chan
mel, and how the Pennland, which was
coming up the irver, came to run into
her was a mystery. One corner was
torn of the dredge, but she did not
sink.
The Pacific a few months ago. was
run into and sunk by the steamer Della
ware. and only resumed operations yes
terday, after having 1000 worth of
repairs made. The owners of the Pa
cific have given notice that to-day they
will file a libel for $4,000 against the
Pennland. Repairs to her will be made
to-day.
