SHIPS IN DISTRESS.
Port Townsend. Wash, Sept. 30.-The

St Mlchaels, having left on September
IL with the schooner ]. Bryant in tow.
On the 2lst of the months, while off
Kadiak Island. heavy storm prevailed
and the tug was forced 10 heave to for
a period OF twenty-eight hours During
the storm the hawser which connected
the sooner and the tug parted. and the
l,-s hlrE
on the tug afterwards see her. While j;
is not bought that the Bryan has been
lost. grave fears for her safety are en-
tertained. She carried a crew OF seven
men and two passengers. the latter Two
being Engineer Turner and wife. The
reason given for the probable safety OF
the Bryant is that she was known as
one Of the best sea boats OF her tonnage
in the north Pacific waters.
