- Full Text
The Chicago Tribune says:- The schooner Wm.H.HINSDALE, of and from Michigan City, while entering our harbor at 11 o'clock on Tuesday night last, with a cargo of wood, ran into the north pier while under full headway. The wind was blowing a gale at the time, and the entrance to the harbor was obstructed by a fleet of vessels. The schooner tore her foresail and both jibs to pieces, carried away her jibboom, and a portion of her head gear, also broke the end of her bow-sprit. The full extent of her damage is about $200.
