Chronicle of the 18th inst, with a gen

as no certificate of inspection from
the United States Local Inspector Of
Hulls was presented. Under a FEEDER
al act approved on July 1 of this year, !
all sailing vessels of 700 tons or more

sells Welch & Co.'S broker called on |
Captain BOlleS at the inspectors Of |
flee to arrange if possible for a tenn
porary certificate, SO that the cargo |
might not Sbe disturbed, but the in
spector explained that it was impossi-
bic to grant a certificate until the in
spectiOn was made, and that no tenn
porary certificate was provided for by
said, to break into the cargo in order
to inspect the timbers and planking
down to the keelson. something to
which WEIGH e Co. objected strenuous
ly, since it involved much work and
delay. Yesterday arrangements were
made with the Custom house people by
the firm to clear the Davis without in
spection regardless of Federal enact
ments! The vessel was built in |
East Boston twenty-siX years ago, and |
has been in the Island trade for some |
time
The steamship DOric, which arrived |
from the Orient on Tuesday and had |
been lying in the stream awaiting |
room TO dock, ran into the Mail dock |
Yesterday says the Chronicle of the |
oath, while being brought alongside |
and cut away forty feet of the dock, |
besides smashing several piles and |
throwing stacks Of freight along the |
wharf Captain Smith left the vessel |
early yesterday morning for a trip to |
the country, and left orders with First |
officer Wilson to notify one of the pi- |
lots to dock the DOric as soon as the |
steamer Aztec was removed to the sea- |
wall. This order was carried out, and |
Big Pilot Jordan was assigned the |
duty of bringing the steamer along |
side. After waiting forty minutes for
the pilot, the officer concluded to dock |
the vessel, which was thirty-siX hours |
late in discharging her cargo. AS he |
neared the dock, coming up at a good |
rate of speed. the mate feared he would !
strike the bulkhead and sounded the |
gong to back water. If he had not done |
this he would have cleared the wharf |
but as it was the tide caught the |
steamship and threw it head-on into |
the dock. Large and heavy timbers |
were smashed into splinteTs and the |
shed was carried away. So sharp was |
the shock that at the end of the pier |
fully 500 feet from where the accident |
occurred, it was plainly felt. For a |

the steamer and wharf but, as nc Sc |
rious mishaps occurred, order was soon |
restored.
