Capt. Charles Neff of Milwaukee, owner of the stm. VENEZUELA, which was reported ashore and released in the St. Mary's River on Monday, declared after a talk with the vessel's captain that the vessel was never really ashore, and that the anchor was simply caught in the mud, due to the low water in the river caused by the heavy winds and the vessel's donkey engine could not raise the drag. The captain called for a tug and the offending anchor was soon aboard. Capt. Neff says the calling of the tug probably gave credence to the idea the VENEZUELA was aground.
