gale in the lower Potomac Tuesday after
noon were brought here yesterday by the
master of the two-masted bay schooner
Minnie May Kirwan, which arrived with
canned goods from the Yeocomico river

schooner was on her way up the river
when struck by the gale. and before the
sails of the vessel could be lowered the
mainsail and jib were torn to ribbons.
The storm only lasted about half an hour.
but the schooner was directly in the path
of the worst of it, as on the river above
and below the vessel the storm was very
light.
The tug Camilla. returning to this city
from having delivered barge at Point
Lookout, took the Kirwan in tow and
brought her to the 10th street wharf,
where she is discharging. New sails have
been ordered but it will be a day or two
before they arrive and the vessel will be
