have the tug rebuilt and again placed in
service in the towing trade on the bay and
its tributaries. The Emma left this city
about eight months ago with two light
barges bound to Norfolk. Off the mouth of
the Rappahannock river she was discovered
on fire. and in spite of the hardest efforts
Of her crew they could not check the flames.
The master Of the tug, finding he could not
save the vessel with the fre-fghting ap-
pliances he had at hand. ran her as close
inshore as he could. then he opened the
valves, allowing her to fill and sink, while
he and the members Of the crew escaped
in a small boat. When they left the tug
they had to go in a hurry, leaving all their
personal belongings. The sinking of the
tug saved the hull and machinery. The
tug was afterward raised and taken to
Baltimore where she has been lying. The
Emma Is a wooden hull boat. and is one
of the oldest in service on Chesapeake
bay, having been built IN 1862. She has
