Monday night an effort was made to
steal a large schooner in the river at Port
Tampa. The Rosa Scarborough was ca
bled to the docks, and some one cut ii
loose and hoisted the sails. The boat
went down the river for a short distance,
and became stuck in the mud as the chan
mel was not followed; the boat was then
abandoned. 1t was evident that the per-
son who did this was not familiar with
the river and its winding channel. 1t is
thought that the idea was to leave the
country, for if the boat had been stolen
successfully 1t could never have been used
in coastwise trade. and would, therefore.
never have been safe unless out Of the
country.

me screams of the women soon drew a

in and attended the man. The cut extend
