The tramp steamer Hestia, which
came into the harbor the first of the
week with load of steel billets for the
National Wire corporation, was taken
In tow early yesterday morning for the
Wire company's dock on Quininpiac
river and ioated until Tomlinson's
bridge was reached. When half way
through the bridge it stuck fast and
refused to be moved and consequently
the bridge was closed to travel all day.
The craft is the largest vesesl which
ever entered the port of New Haven,
being S65 feet long, and when loaded
draws % feet of water and can carry
a cargo of 5000 tons. 1t has now a
cargo of 2,400 tons of steel billets, which
reduces it's draught to II feet. The YES
sci halls from Sydney, Cape Breton, N.
S.. and is commanded by Captain Fer
guson. While fast in the mud many
people took the opportunity to view it
from the west pier Of the bridge.
About o'clock last evening the tide
rose high enough to permit the steamer
to be drawn through the bridge and up
the river. Several tugs were used dur
ing this operation and it was only with
the greatest difficulty that she was
moved. She Is now inside the bridge
and it is expected that great difficulty
will be met with turning her around,
when she is unloaded, and getting her
out again.
While going through the bridge the
keel of the vessel cut the big telephone
cable which runs under the bridge,
thereby injuring the service on the east
Side of the bridge.
The work of dredging Mill river, west
channel, is progressing favorab1y, it
having been deepened and widened as
far as to the foot of Green street. At
the turn, which is just back of the New
England Stone company, the channel
has been made double the width, which
will aid greatly in navigating large yes
sells to the various docks Of that Sec
ton.
The oyster steamer Eric, Captain
Fred Rowe, was unable to proceed on
her regular trip down the harbor yes
terday morning owing to arrangement
OF her propeller. Repairs on the boat
