Owing to tho great demand for tonnage and tho boom in sailing ships’ freights Captain George J. Santa Cruz some months ago purchased three wrecks lying around Gulf waters, the vessels being the ship Avenger, stranded at Ship Island; the schooner Mary C. Hale, which has for the past 10 years been sunk on the eastside of Mobile Harbor; and the barque Oban Bay, which was at .Santa Rosa Island. These vessels were to be salvaged and repaired. The first vessel floated was the Avenger, which went aground on January 19. 1905. while on a voyage from Natal to Gulfport. She was towed off and taken into Mobile Harbor on August 20, after being ashore for 11 years. She will be rebuilt at a coat of £15,000. At least a dozen attempts havo been made to float the Avenger, but this was not possible until the great hurricane of July 5, when the high seas washed the land from around her, leaving her in sft of water. The freight lon one single cargo of this vessel to the River Plate justified the floating and rebuilding of the Avenger and placing her in commission. The Avenger is" an iron vessel of 1,286 tons ( register, and was built by' the Whitehaven Shipbuilding Company at WTiitehaven in 1879, just 37 years ago. She was built principally for the Australian trade, and was for very manv years a regular trader from London to 'Melbourne ; with general cargo, thence returning to London with wool and other colonial products.
