Bay Schooner Goes Ashore.

Inc tWo-mdsted bay schooner John Nc
Hinnis, while coming up the river Wednes-
HaE' ran ashore on the mud flats on the
Virginia side of the river a short dis
lance below Fort Foot. The vessel was
travelling at Il fair rate OF speed and
when she struck the mud she slid well out
upon II, and the falling tide left her with
only a foot or two of water about her
For time 4 looked as If some of the
large cargo of cord wood the vessel had
aboard would have TO be liShtered in or
der Ia get her atioat. but the tides We're
high yesterday and the tugs were able
to pull her off the mud bank and bring
her up To this city. The McGinnis is one
OF the Carter fleet of sailing vessels
owned in this city. and was on her way
here from the Rappahannock river with
a big cargo of cord wood when the acci-
dent occurred. The schooner was not
damaged by her stop on the mud bank.

| that any one should believe or state
| that she would be capable OF permit
ting any one besides herself to write
her life history to be printed in the
fern of an autoblograp ply. The pub
| licity, of course, was an old story to
| her: she passed that away with a
| shrug OF the shoulders and wave of

| one might dispute the correctness OF
one statement or another, was dis
missed with another shrug. But when II
was stated publicly that she was about
| to issue a volume, signed with her
| own name, which was written by
somebody else. then her wrath was
! aroused"
Mr.. Sears was treated to display
