Full Text

A WRECK ABANDONED. -- Some three weeks since, a scow called the MILT GILL got ashore on Peach Island, having on board a cargo of lumber and lath. Efforts were made to get her afloat and that undertaking was eventually abandoned, and she lies at present exposed to the elements with fair prospect of both vessel and cargo being totally lost.
