chants and Miners steamer Powhatah,
bound from this port to Baltimore
went ashore near the Three Sisters
lighthouse about eight miles below
Thomas Point in Chesapeake Bay at
4:40 O'Clock Sunday morning. she
was floated about 7:15 o'clock in the
evening and proceeded to Baltimore.
The fog is described by Captain
RYAN of the Powhatan, who remainei
at his post in the pilot house from the
time the ship left mere on Saturday
until she was finally docked IN bal
timore about 10 o'clock Sunday night,
as one Ct the worst That he ever ex-
perienced in this vicinity.
The powhatan took the ground so
easily that the seventy passengers on
hoard were not aware until break
fast was served that there was any
trouble whatever or that the ship had
even stopped.
Fearing that the ship would remain
ashore fcr some time. the officials OF
the company arranged to have the tug
