A TUG SUNK. - On Saturday afternoon the tugs SWIFT and BRITTON started out into the bay on a race, in pursuit of business. The immediate object of attention was the schooner ANNA C. RAYNOR, which was coming into port heavily laden. The officers of the tug SWIFT displayed considerable energy, and doubtless would have captured the prize, if, in the excitement, the engine had not become powerless. As it was, the engine "got stuck" on the centre, and, being in the way of the schooner, she was run into and sunk. The men on board had a narrow escape. It is possibe that the unfortunate tug may be resurrected from her watery grave without serious injury. The boat, we understand, was not insured.
