We learn from Capt. Bagnell, that the schooner ROBERT EMMETT, while
entering the mouth of the Chicago River, on Tuesday, struck a sunken anchor,
which made a hole in her bow, and it was only with extra exertions that she was
kept from sinking. She was taken into dry dock for repairs. She was loaded
with lumber.
