Fall River and Newport.
Last Monday morning the Hughes with
the four barges in tow came through the

wind suddenly changed to the southwest
and blew a gale. kicking up a heavy sea
and causing the barges 10 roll heavily.

sea became so rough and would surge
ahead broadsIde on some especially high
billow, so that at times she would be
heading several points away from the
tug. The hawser broke about 10 o'clock
In the forenoon, giving away between the
second and third barges.
This left the Falcon and Thomas
Cleaver still In tow OF the Hughes. while
the George Hughes and the William Cur

Then turning about Captain Fitzgerald

A hawser was floated down to the barge
and made fast with great difficulty, both
