on at low tide which will be in her favor.
The place of the disaster is few miles
from where the Moravian of the Allan
line was lost some years ago.
The first and second holds are full OF
water. The steamer is aground aft of the
engine room. There are six feet OF water
in the engine room. The steamer Is
bulged badly up from the saloon. There
are six fathoms of water under her aft.
The captain, three mates. the steward,
engineers and some of the crew remain
on board and three tugsiare standing by.
The weather is moderate and there is not
much sea on. There is q fair prospect OF
salvage of cargo, but very little hope OF
saving the ship. The steamer was 10
miles out of her course with fresh
southwest wind which would increase the
current. The weather has remained mod
