BARGE EN0S S0ULE
FLOODED FROM LEAK

Sometime during the night the barge
Enos soult. here with 210o tons OF coal
for railroad. sprung q leak and is now
resting on the fats In the harbor Just
off Wikesbarre pier.
The captain OF the vessel stated that
there might be two reasons for the leak
one that she settled when the tide fell
upon some old wreck that cut her bottom
or that she was tseverely cut up by the
ice. At any rate this morning when
she was boarded IL was found that she
was filled with water nearly to her decks.
The pumps Of the vessel were not dam
aged and they were put TO work For
a time there was but little headway
made, but later on the water were seen
TO be flowing out faster than they were
coming in, and now IL is hoped that she
will be fosted so as TO bring her into
the dock
AS soon as II can be discovered Just
where and the extent OF the hole men
will he put 10 work TO repair the dam
