visitors to this port and Alexandria, the
James Pierce has been wiped from the
list of American vessels. having been
sunk at sea about a week ago in a col
lsion with the Norwegian steamer Fran.
The collision occurred about go miles
east of Hatteras, and the Pierce, loaded
with 200 tons of coal, sank to the bot
tom of the Atlantic in water deep enough
to hide her from sight dozen times
over.
The first news of the accident was re-
ceived when the Fran limped into Mo-
bile with her bow stove in and her fore
peak full of water. The only thing that
kept her from sinking was the holding
of a collision bulkhead in her bow. The
Pierce was bound from Philadelphia to
Jabos Porto Rico, with coal. Her crew
were rescued by the Fran. The last
visit of the Pierce to the Potomac is
said to have been about five years ago,
when she discharged a cargo at AleXan-
