cause of the sinking cannot be deter.
mined until she is raised and on the
ways for repairs. but there are sew
eral theories advanced.
The boat worked about the harbor

ing out the docks and barges, and
this morning at three o'clock tele.
phoned to Manager Joe Bishop that
one of the siphons would not work.
The engineer was sent down to in
vestigate, but arrived too late. The
boat had sunk. She had careened &c
the outside of the docks and only her
smoke stacks and pilot house are Wis
ible to the eye.
The Mary N. was built first in 1873
by Captain II. G.. Rouse, then mana.
ger of the st. Bernard Co. In 1891
the boat was rebuilt and her original
name, the Little Mary, changed to
Mary n. She was originally about
175x16 feet, but when rebuilt was
heightened some and is now about
1872 feet long with the same beam
Last December new boilers were put
on the boat and she is valued at
about $4,000. She is laying in such
position as to render 1t hard to
raise her, especially since the rivers
are rising so rapidly, but Captain
r. Broadfoot was at work carly this
morning lashing her to the docks
and getting in readiness to pump her
out.
One theory as to the cause of sink
ing is that a pipe burst and the water
from it filed the hull. Another Is
that a seam which had frozen. thaw-
ed out and let in the water. Another
is that ice jerked the oakum out of
seam and let in the water. From
present indications it will require two
or three days to raise her. 1t is
thought she was not badly damaged
No one was aboard the boat when
she went under except the little
watch dog. Black Mary, which had
been on the boat for years. This lit
tie dog always had a chair by the
fire in the cabin and whenever any
one came on the boat she was up In
minute giving the alarm. The dog
was caught, evidently when she went
under, and drowned, as no trace of
her can be found.
