kerchiof shoal about 10 o'clock last night
and the crew Of the Monomoy point lifs
saving station started To her assistance.
There is very little sea running, the
wind is light and the weather clear,
and it i believed that the stranded
vessel Is in no serious danger.
From the Monomoy life saving station
the identity Of the vessel could not be
determined, although her distress sig
mails were clearly seen. 1t is believer that
she is either large towboat or possibly
the steamer Charles r. Mayer, which left
Boston yesterday with two barges for
Baltimore. Both the barges in tow OF
the stranded boat appear to be light.
