cargo of lumber from Grays Har-

leaking and in considerable distress.
The Rosamond made the run from

and appears to have been favored
with fine weather until last Friday
when heavy storm was encountered,
! During the gale the deck lashinSs
parted and about 100000 feet OF lum-
Der went over the side.
The loss of the lumber relieved the
| stress on the schooner, but before the
lashings parted the Rosamond's top
side had been badly strained and was
leaking when the vessel arrived at
Sydney. According to cablegram
received yesterday, the Rosamond's

schooner also lost number OF sails.
A preliminary survey was made Of
the damage. and 1t Is estimated that
repairs will cost $500.
