BOTH STRANDED.
Steamer Wl|llamsporl and Her
Tow Ashore on Pollock Rip.

Chatham, Mass, April 1i.-An unknown
steamer. supposed to be a towboat, lies
sunken on Pollock Rip shoals. 1t is
thought she may be a Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad boat. A barge she was
towing has gone ashore. The Monomoy
Life Saving crew has put off to the scene.
Philadelphia. April ll.-Advices received
by the Maritime Exchange today state
that the steamer which went ashore is
the Philadelphia and Reading steamer
Wiliamsport from Philadelphia for Port
land. She had in tow the barge Paxinos,
also bound for Portland.
The patrol OF the Monomoy station dis
covered the steamer at daylight. She was
on the southern end of the shoal and APP
parently was resting easily with decks
awash. A three-masted barge also was on
the shoal near the steamer
As soon as possible the Monomoy crew
started for the stranded vessels. II was
not an easy job for the men TO launch
their boat on account of the heavy
ground swell, but after they got started.
II was not difficult work to reach the
scene.
