Lakes during 1869, Capt. J.W. Hall
. . . . .
We learn that the schr. FLORETTA, grain laden for this port, went ashore at Pt. Abino on Saturday night. The tugs PEREW and NIMS went to her assistance with lighters last evening. It is thought she will be got off without much trouble. She was leaking a little yesterday.

The schr. FLORETTA which went on Pt. Abino Saturday while en route from Detroit to this port with a cargo of 20,000 bushels wheat, was lightered off yesterday afternoon and arrived at this port, and has discharged her cargo of 2,000 bushels of which is wet. A survey has not been held, so that we are unable to give the damages.
