IT IS TRUE - The story that the scow WAKEUP was lost, is true. She went ashore in the gale of Monday near Port Hope, and will prove a total loss. She is now being dismantled, and all that is worth saving taken away. Her cargo of lumber is still on board awaiting the decision of the owners. The boat was of little value.
