Errickson, in trying to caps out over the bar, having in tow Porter Bros.' barge, Frederick, on Saturday at high tide, was, owing to the strong southwest gale that was blowing and the heavy seas that was rolling in, driven to the north side of the channel into the breakers and struck upon the jetty with such force as to knock four or five holes in her hull. The Roscoe, in the heavy seas and wind that prevailed, did not have power to keep the barge off trie jetty. She bad on board for Porter Bros. 8o tons of oats, 70 tons of hay and 60 tons of dynamite. After the barge struck Captain Errickson, with rare judgment, pulled her off the rocks and beached her near Olssonville in a safe place. The oats and hay is a total loss, but the dynamite can be saved. The barge is insured and I understand the cargo also. Cap tain Severson and a sailor were on deck when the barge struck and it was feared the concussion would explode the dynamite and at the same time the waves were breaking over the deck. It was a trying time for these brave men, who are familiar with a sea-faring life. It was an experience that they will not soon forget. The loss will be four ur five thousand dollars, but the insurance will no doubt more than cover this amount. Mrs. P. M. Abbey has been very sick but she is now much improved. Mrs. H. F.
