CHooNER SUNK,
William Montgomery Blocked Channel
between North and South Hero.

The schooner William Montgomery,
owned by Capt John Fleury sunk Tues
day afternoon between North and
South Hero near the railroad bridge.
The schooner left this port early in the
day for ports in the northern part Of the
lake, loaded with lumber, and as she
reached the point known as the gut was
driven by the strong wind which was
blowing at that time against one Of the
piers, and Immediately sunk. The crew
had time to get out the life boats, how
ever, and We're all saved. This place is
especially dangerous because of It's mar
rowness and only the best pilots can
guide a large craft through there during
wind storm.
The steamer Ticonderoga. which was 1t
St, Adams Bay, was unable to return by
her usual route because the schooner had
blocked the way and so was obliged 10
go around by the way of Alburgh which
made the trip about 40 miles further, and
arrived in this city at $50 p. m. The
steamer Chateaugay. which was in port
Tuesday. was sent in the Tlconderoga $
regular trip south but when the latter
boat arrived in the city she had soma
passengers for Westport so was obliged
to leave at nine o'clock for that port.
