BOND
FURNISHED
German Steamer Egar Fur
nishes Surety in Sum
of $4,000.

The German steamer Egar, the YES
sci to ram the Norwegian bark Maren.
in the harbor about three weeks
since, has given bond in the sum of
$4,000. and will proceed to sea today,
having taken out clearance papers
yesterday at the customhouse.
The steamer was libeied by the mas
ter of the Maren for $4,000, it being
alleged that the collision was due to
carelessness and negligence upon the
part of the crew of The Egar, mas.
much as the bark was at anchor in
the harbor, when she was struck by
the steamer. The damage done will
require the expenditure of over $4,000
for pairs, in addition to discharging
part of the cargo and the delay of
several months.
