WHEAT STEAMER

Ran Aground But Will Float
After Cargo is
Litered.

Buffalo. N. T., Aug. 19-The steam
er A. e. Stewart. carrying cargo Of
100000 bushels Of wheat for Buffalo
mills, ran ashore at Sturgeon Point,
twenty miles west Of here, early Sun
day. She is resting easily on an even
keel and can be floated after a part
of her cargo has been lightened. She
carried no passengers. The crew re-
mafned on board.
The weather was heavy at the time,
both rain and fog obscuring the south
shore line. The Stewart was running
at reduced speed when she struck and
although 1t is a rocky shore, the bot
tom Is comparatively smooth and her
hull probably was not badly damaged.
A wrecking tug was unable to move
the Stewart and went to Buffalo for
a lighter. The captain of the Mason
reported that unless storm blows up
the Stewart will not be badly dam
aged.
