ANOTHER ATTEMPT WILL BE
MADE TO FLOAT SHIP
THIS EVENING

Another attempt will be made
by the U. s. coast guard cutters
Saranac and Saukee at high tide
this evening to pull the stranded
ship Pecos into deep water.
These vessels worked on the
steamer last night but all efforts
to move it proved of no avail and
Agent G. f. Smith decided 1t was
necessary to remove more of the
cargo.
Accordingly work began again
this morning and one barge load
of cotton and four was brought to
the Mallory wharf shortly after
noon and two more lighter loads
are expected to be brought to the
city before night.
II is said that two of these loads
will approximate 100 tons each
and the other will be of about 100
tons. The removal of these will
practically discharge the cargo.
When the ship is freed, the sur
vey made and the vessel found to
be unchanged. all of the cargo will
be reloaded and she will proceed
on her voyage to Charleston, S. c.,
and New York.
