This time the ship remained longer in the trough of the sea than she did the first time, on account of not getting so much way and running head into it, but she behaved very well, though rolling frightfully. While the steamer "was coming about, Capt. Lyons braced himself by holding onto the handles THE MARINE REVIEW Sheadle let go her anchor. Capt. Lyons pays a very good tribute "The use of the. deep sea lead," he said, "was a great to the deep sea lead. comfort to me. I knew where I was all the time.

The Corsica Shoal lightship was torn from her moorings and fetched up two miles east and two miles south of her station.

He says the 70- mile gale lasted from about ten o'clock Sunday morning until about two o'clock Monday morning, or 16 hours with continuous snow. It will probably cost about $18,000 to repair the damage to the Sheadle caused by the pounding of the sea. We. steamer Matoa, of the .

The Price was directly in the track of vessels and a positive menace to navigation, whereas the Grammer was resting upon a sandy bottom and could not possibly injure herself or anything else and was in no need of assistance from any revenue cutter.
