RAM SCHOONER IS FLOATED,
Agnes Quillan Ashore on Croatan
Bar for About Ten Davs.

After having been ashore on Croatan
bar, near the lighthouse marking the
entrance Of Croatan sound, N. c., for
about ten days, the ram schooner Ag-
mes Quillan has at last been f1oated and
taken to Elizabeth City, N. c., where
she can be hauled out for repairs.
Soon after the vessel went on the
shoal the revenue cutter Pamlico went
to her aid. but on reaching her found
she had started leaking and was full
of water. This made 1t inadvisable to
attempt to float her until she was
pumped free.
Slow progress was made in pumping
the vessel out, but in the middle of the
past week this was accomplished and
the Pamlico f1oated the schooner and
took her to the repair yard. The Quill
Ian is one of the fleet of ram schooners
employed in the lumber trade between
the Carolina sounds and ports on Ches-
apeake bay. She is frequent visitor
to this city.
