Belle Cash (Schooner), aground, 27 Sep 1875

The captain of the prop. VANDERBILT, which arrived down yesterday, reported an unknown propeller and 2 barges ashore at Long Pt. The propeller appeared to be painted green, but the distance was too great to ascertain her name. A special dispatch from Port Colborne reports the prop. SCHNOOR ashore at the same place, and it is probable that this is the name of the boat seen by the VANDERBILT.

Capt. Charles Cash, owner of the barges BELLE CASH and HANNAFORD, and part ower of the stmb. SCHNOOR, which are ashore at Long Pt., was in this city yesterday fitting out an expedition to go to their assistance. He secured the tug SARAH E. BRYANT, Capt. Robert Byers, and several strong hawsers, from this port. The tug NEW ERA, of Port Rowan, and the MAGNET of Detroit, have also been engaged for the expedition, and it is believed that with good weather they will be able to relieve the boats in only a few feet of water. They rest easy on the sand in only a few feet of water, and up to the time of the captain's leaving had not leaked a drop. The BRYANT left for Long Pt. late last evening.

Owing to unfavorable weather the expedition for the relief of Capt. Cash's barges, ashore on Long Point, was unable to accomplish much effective work. The barges lie as before, uninjured. Tug BRYANT returned from them Wednesday evening. Tug bills grow just as steadily when the tugs are waiting for good weather as when at work. Captain Cash came down on the tug, and is desirous of limiting the expense to some definate amount, has entered into contract with Messrs. Jones & Maytham, managers of the tug line, to get his barges off. The terms are private. capt. Robert Byers of the BRYANT will superintend the job.

The tug NOLTON, which went to assist in the release of the barges CASH and HANNAFORD, ashore at Long Pt., has returned and reports that the CASH will probably have to be abandoned until next year, but with good weather the HANNAFORD can be got off in a short time.

The expedition which went to the rescue of the barges CASH and HANNAFORD ashore at Long Pt., have abandoned the undertaking, for this season at least, on account of the continued bad weather, and returned to port yesterday afternoon. The barges lie high upon the shore, deeply imbedded in sand and it is thought that they can be easily got off next season. by dredging.

The barges BELLE CASH and GEO. W. HANNAFORD owned by Capt. Cash of East China are still on the beach at Long Point, Lake Erie and there seems to be but little hope of their coming off before spring. They have been there since early this month.

As soon as the weather will allow, an effort is to be made to float the barges CASH and HANNAFORD, which were driven ashore on Long Pt. last fall. The barges have shifted into deeper water, one of them being imbedded in sand and almost entirely under water.

      UNSUCCESSFUL. -- The expedition which started out a few days ago to raise the BELLE CASH, sunk at Long Point, returned Tuesday night, having abandoned the job. The CASH lies deep in the water and sand, and it was found on placing two steam pumps on the cabin, which is the only part of the boat above water, that their united efforts were unavailing and she is left to her fate. --- Detroit Free Press.
