DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Rivermen and Lighthous Authorities
Disagree.

According to the lighthouse authorities IN
charge of the Potomac river. buoys are not
needed along the shoal fats abreast the
naval magazine wharf, below this city.
Rivermen say hardly day passes that a
vessel does not go ashore between Shep-
herds and Mann's fertilizer factory wharf.
Yesterday afternoon the bugeye Keller left
here to take load of watermelons to Alex
andria. Her master not being advised that
there was a shoal there ran the vessel
ashore near the magazine wharf. Fortu-
nately those aboard were able to work her
off. Her centerboard was damaged and a
large number Of the melons In her hold
were broken by the sudden stoppage of the
vessels Roadway.
Shortly after the Keller had been worked
af1oat the schooner Rosalie started down
the river light and she went ashore on the
upper side the magazine wharf. She was
worked into deep water. and in the next
tack she again went ashore, a short dis
lance below the wharf and this time stuck
fast. The schooner was moving with
good breeze filling her sails when she
struck the mud bank. and the tide was I'M
usually high. Some trouble may therefore
be experienced in getting her afiOat.
Several months ago petition signed by
the steamboat men and others interested in
shipping here was sent to the lighthouse
authorities requesting the placing of a buoy
or two along this shoal, but the petition
was refused.
