tons of Pocahontas coal, dumped her
cargo In the Eastern Branch of the
Elizabeth river instead of in the hold
of the big British steamship Noranmore
now at the Norfolk and Western grain
elevator for cargo.
The barge capsized Saturday night
near Lambert's Point, which accident
was due, 1t Is said. to the failure of
negro to keep the pumps working.
There was no insurance on the coal.
which means the loss of several hun
dred dollars to some one.

Pleiades. Captain Smith, arrived here
Sunday from Baltimore on her maiden
