Port Huron, Sept. 20. -- The schooner GEORGE THURSTON, which went ashore at Point Edwards on Sunday night is leaking badly. The tug A. J. SMITH, which has been endeavoring to release her, dredged a channel alongside of her and tried to pull the vessel in it. Failing in this the steam pump has been secured. She will be pumped out, when it is probable she will be released.
