 Whether or not Louis Truth, the night watchman on the steamer Gordon Rowe is drowned will not be known until the steamer is raised. The Cor don Rowe is one of the large steamers of the oyster-dredging fleet of Il. c. Rowe & Co. and was sunk at her dock at the company's oyster shops below Quinnipiac bridge some time Monday night. Truth undertook to fill one of the vessels tanks with water and failed to shut off the supply, which filled the craft and she went down at her moor ings. If Truth retired to his bunk, then he must have been drowned. It is thought to be quite probable, how ever, that, realizing that he was re- sponsible for sinking the craft, he ran away. He is about twenty-five years old and single. His boarding place could not be ascertained last evening. MT. Rowe stated last evening that it would cost from $500 to $500 to raise the steamer. A wrecking outfit will come up from New York and soon have the craft afoat again. At low tide the steamers upper deck is awash. It was a very careless piece of business sink ing the craft. It is not expected that much damage has been suffered by the steamer.
