after 6 o'clock this morning, Captain

boat, an unusually trim craft. had no
name on its bow and Captain Norton
and his passengers had visions of an
other river tragedy. It was thought
the boat had been swamped by
passing steamer during the night.
The tow aroused much interest
among river men as the Anna

Orange street Upon arriving there
it was learned that the boat belonged
to Edward Justic and George Jordan,

and proceeded to Wilmington TO dis
charge their cargo. They were just
preparing to go in search Of the boat
