street-May BE Necessary to Dis
charge Her Cargo of Lumber to
Make Repairs-Other Matters of In
ferestS to shippers aud Mariners.
The schooner Edward W. Young. capt.
/ Phillips is leaking at The dock foot OF
Drayton street. and the steam pumps are
kept constantly going. II was found yes
| terday that the y oung is making about
nine inches of water every two hours. She
has a cargo Of lumber aboard. and until
Capt. Phillips hears from her owners in
| New York. no steps wiz be taken to have
her repaired. Il may be necessary to hold
a survey, aud discharge the entire cargo
! in order to make the necessary repairs.
| As stated in the Morning News the
Young put in at Tybee in stress last
! Monday. after unsuccessful horts had
been made TO keep ner free with the hand
pumps. It is stated the crew Were I'M
willing to proceed on the voyage owing to
the condition of The vessel. Shortly after
! leaving jacksonville the leak was discover
! ed and a force of hands was set to work
at the pumps. Owing TO the fact the men
were soon fatigued the steam pump was
brought into play. but it is said TO have
failed TO keep her free. 1t is impossible
TO locate the leak at present. SO that the
| extent of the damage cannot be told.
|, There is some doubt as to what caused
the vessel to begin leaking. 1t is stated
| she was in perfect condition on leaving
! Jacksonville. One theory is that she suf-
| fered damage iii the hurricane, which
| from New York. During the blow
| she lost her spankerboom, fore
staysail, and both anchors and chains
were lost. The only way the leak can be
accounted for is the possible damage the
vessel may have received during the hur-
ricane. Her cargo down was slight, con-
sisting of about coo barrels of oil. Capt.
| Phillips will probably be advised at once
| what TO do with the vessel, as she proba-
| bly, would not be considered seaworthy IN
her present condition.
