convinced me that they were making
an attack with their main forces on
our south front near Outuschountoun

THE battle began under the most
favorable auspices for US. The first
report l received was from Lieut.. Col.

tenaciously holding his position, al
though he had many wounded. I or
dered two companies and then bat

The investigating officers have

Country Attorney Emery admits that
in his judgment a scufIle took place in
the afternoon of the day on which Skill

down to the well to draw water and

The examination by the divers de-
vclop"d more than ever the supposition
that the steamer had morrow escape
from sinking after striking on the
Gangway Ledge and while being tOwed
to Rockland. Sunday.
The damaged section of the hull is n
space about Is feet long and two or
three feet wide under the boiler room
on the StarbOard side The divers found
this matted with kelp and it was this
that aided in keeping the steamer
af1oat.
a large canvas bag will be fastened
over this bruised portion, as it is call
ed, and then sheathcd with plank.
When this is done and the steamer
has been pumped out She will be ready

she will be towed by the tugs Under
