ered to-day about ten miles of this city in
disabled condition. She had lost her propeller
and vas drifting about at the mercy Of the

came ashore. that the Monroe was passing Little
Egg Harbor Inlet when the propeller slipped
of and went 10 the bottom This was about
midnight Saturday.
II was some time during Sunday morning
when the passengers became aware that an ac-
cident had happened. the boat was then
drifting with the tide. The accident was eX-
planned. and the passengers accepted conditions
without q nauruur. believing, as the captain told
them. that il was only q question OF q few hours
when passing steamer would pick them up
II was nearly 10 O'Clock, however, when the
steamer Jefferson. also Of the Old Dominion
Line took her in tow. The Jefferson was bound
for New-York. Il decided 10 anchor of
Atlantic City and then send the mate and a
crew ashore TO wire for assistance
At O'Clock in the afternoon another arrived
and toWed the disabled steamer to her destina-
ton For a while it was feared that the Mon
roe would be washed ashore on this beach. The
ocean was in q rough mood. and the currents
were carrying the boat toward the inner bar
