Steamer Ramona's Hull Opens and
She Sinks.


New Westminster, B. c., March 21-
The Western Steamboat Company's
passenger steamer Ramona is lying in
shallow water near Sumas landing.
There is dangerous spot at this place.
as the water is swift and shallow, and
although there are large number Of
sunken snags about there is not a
rifle to show their location. The boat
left here Thursday morning, couple
of hours late, bound for Chill:wack,
with an extra large cargo.
Late in the afternoon, when passing
this dangerous spot, the boats DOW
struck hidden snag and part of her
hull was started open. She rapidly
filled and soon lay in four feet or more
of water at the stern and about three
feet at the bow. Her passengers were
soon landed, none the worse for the ac-
client, and word was then sent to this
city, which, however, did not reach
here until last night.
The owners at once had the Domin-
ion government snag boat Samson and
some scows dispatched to the scene.
all the cargo will be lightered to scows,
and then with her powerful lifting gear
the Samson will attempt to get the Ra
mona off the snags. The Ramona's
hull is of wood. and Jared worse than
the steamboat Beaver, which hit snag
in the same locality month ago, with
the result of loosening couple of her
plates. The Ramona is the boat that
met with an accident two and half
years ago, when her boiler front blew
out and several lives were lost.
Should the current shift the Ramona
off the snag before the snag boat gets a
good hold on her, there is every posi-
bility that she will drift into deep wa
ter and the tie raising operation will
be harder. No blame is attached to the
officers.

Cheer up, comrades, they will come,
And beneath the starry flag
We shall breathe the air again

In the battle front we stood
When their fercest charge was made,
And they swept us off, a hundred men

But before we reach'd their lines,
They were beaten back dismayed,
And we heard the cry of vict'ry DER and

We are waiting for the day
That shall come to open wide the iron

And the hollow eye grows bright,
And the poor heart almost gay,
AS we think of seeing home and friends

A Sea Song.
A wet sheet and a flowing sea,
And a wind that follows fast,
And fills the white and rustling sail,
And bends the gallant mast, my boys,
While, like the eagle free,
Away the good ship flies, and leaves
Old England on the lee.
o, for a soft and gentle wind!
heard a fair one cry;
But give to me the snoring breeze
And white waves heaving high;
And white waves heaving high, my boys,
The good ship tight and free
The world of waters is our home,
And merry men are we.
There's tempest in yon horned moon,
And lightning in yon cloud;
And bark the music, mariners!
The wind is piping loud
The wind is piping loud, my boys,
The lightning flashing free
While the hollow oak our palace Is,
Our heritage the sea.
