!lho steatnor Allianco which eailod for

yesterday in n lonkiug condition front
iho effects to striking whllo crossing out
over tho bar,
Tho steamer started out (1:30 p, in. It
was foggy, tho tido waa running out nnd
It was nearly low water. Tho bar was
supposed to boatnooth,buton ronchingn

At (his point it Is uecotaary to koop
oloso in to the lino ol tho submerged
end of tho Jetty, which oxtonds eomo
600 feet boyond' tho oud of tho trostlo
work which still stonde. ,
It waa too thick to distinguish the lino
of tho jotty which usually servos as a
guido, and the black buoy bolng gono it
Was dlfllcnlt to got exact boarings. As
tho lino of broakora oxtendod acrosa

is thought that tho steamer's course waa
uida littlo too far to tho north. Tho

It Is extremely fortunate that the

There were about 00 passengers aboard

ALLIIANCE Q0ES ON BIACH
Her Injuries Thought to be Com
paratively Slight
From Saturday' Dally.
Tho Alliance went down the bhy yes
terday afternoon to go upon tbo beach
at North Bond for examination and re
pair of her Injuries. 8ho had been
lightened by unloading part of her cargo,
and trimmed down by the head by mov
ing cargo to the bow and pumping out
tho water tanks, Jiy thoao means tho
stern was lightened considerably. Tho
toilers and engines of the Al'lftnco are
so far ft'l that her stern could only bo
raleed to a limited rxtcnt by loading
down tho how, but it is hoped that iho
can now he hauled far enoueh up on
tho beach so that hor injuries can bo got
at.
Captain Ilardwlck thinks that somo
of tho oakum was started from tho
srams near the sternpost and that this
will bo found to bo tho extent of tho
dnmrgo. It is evident that no bad leak
exists, for tho stream thrown out by tho
pumps was comparatively small. In
fact, tho leakage would not havo inter
feared with tho steamer continuing on
hor way to I'ortlanJ but Captain Hard
wick did not caro to take the chances on
Its getting worse when off eomo part of
tho coast where many lives as well as
well as liis ship might bo lost.
If it is found that tho working out of
somo of tho calkins Is tho oxtont of the
damage, tho repairs will take but a
short tlmo, provided tbo voseel can be
beached high enough to get al tho
seams.
