Description
Full Text

VESSEL ASHORE. - The bark ANDREW STEVENS, which sailed from here a few days
since for Georgian Bay, on her arrival at or near her destination she ran upon one of those dangerous reefs so numerous in that locality, and will fare hard ere she gets afloat, if not totally wrecked. She is a vessel 12 years old, 417 tons burthen, built at Hamilton, and was owned at that port until quite recently. Being so far advanced in years it is barely possible that she will ever reach port again. The tug B.B. JONES has gone to her relief with a steam
pump.

The bark ANDREW STEVENS - This old vessel, it is surmised by several in all probability has become a total wreck, and is hardly worth going after, except for anchors and chains and other outfit.
Two attempts have been made by tugs with steam pumps from this port to reach the locality where it is stated she was lost, but in each instant the turbulent state of the weather forced them to return, and subsequently to abandon the project.
