- Full Text
The schr. ARROW which during the recent gale was driven ashore at Pt. Au Pelee is reported thus in good condition. The greater portion of her cargo is yet dry, but nearly all will have to be lightered out. That which is wet or damaged will be thrown overboard. The tug SATELITE, which has been chartered to get her afloat returned yesterday from the scene of operations for a vessel to receive the cargo, when it is expected she will be got afloat.
