The master's telegram to tno local agents (tho Northern Coal Company} is as follows : "During an easterly gale th© Bravo dragged her two anchors, »nd carried away her cable. There is a chance of getting her off if the weather moderates, but at present it is impossible to do anything, as the seas aie breaking over the hulL and ringing. Tho members of the crew are all on shore." It has been decided to &rod a- scow to Poulana Bay to take off the Bravo's. cargo of coal. A tugboat will then toir the Bravo elf the beach.
