Dangerous wreckage.

up about four feet from the
water, southwest from BARRIERS
Point about four miles. He says
that it is in a dangerous position
and might cause damage to a
vessel running at full speed in

load in the hold, an island steamer

in her. Captain Mosher also
states that this wreckage, together
with other pieces, are from thu
Edward O'Brien. Some steps
should be taken to remove the
dangerous material as soon al
possible.
