Norwegian Steamer Floated.

The Norwegian tramp steamer Athelie
which went ashore on the fiat off the
mouth Of Port Tobacco creek week
ago, was fioated unassisted Thursday
and has arrived at Norfolk to load a
cargo Of coal for a port in the west
Indies. The steamer was passed by the
tug William r. Yerkes. jr., soon after
she f1oated' and the news of her getting
off the bar WAS brought to this city by
the tug. The tides Thursday were full
and that fact, combined with the aid
given the schooner by the steady pressure
exerted by the drift ice piling against
her hull, assisted In forcing her into oeep
water. The steamer was on the sand
bar for six days. and the general opinion
among tugboatm here was that the
services of several powerful tugs would
be required before she would be fioated.
1t is understood that the vessel sus-
tanned no serious injury by laying ashore
as long as she did. AS stated, a Chesa-
peake bay pilot was in charge of the
steamer when she grounded.
