THE MERR1MAc KNOWN.

The Merrimac. which press dispatches
say, was deliberately sunk at Santiago by
Admiral Sampson In order to block the
channel. was well known in Galveston
She belonged to the Lone Star line and
was sold to the government by 7. Hogan
a. Sons soon after war was declared. Inc
Merrimac was the largest collier flying
the American flag and had a dead weight
capacity of 1000 tons. The last harbor
she cleared from was SANTIAGO lust two
days before the war and it is little re-
markable that she should meet destruction
at the same place
The Merrimac touched at Galveston for
orders and while here d. Ripley. general
agent OF tho line. placed forty tons OF
coal extra on her in order that steam could
be up in her main boilers all the time.
She drew about twenty six feet OF water
when loaded.
