SCHOONER KITCHEN HAD A ROUGH TRIP

Oswego, July 8th - The schooner J.B. Kitchen was towed into port by the tug Tonawanda at six o'clock last evening after a severe trip across the lake from Kingston. When the boat was more than half way across the lake the storm became more severe and the huge breakers which tossed over the schooner's deck carried away the forecastle. Otherwise the vessel was not damaged.

At times during the afternoon and the early part of the evening the waves broke over the pier and dashed against the beacon lighthouse. Captain Frederick Anderson, in charge of the United States Live Saving Station, said that there was no trouble of any kind reported.

The steamer Donnelly arrived back in the city on Tuesday morning with this report.
