SAVED FROM THE ROCKS
BARQUE’S NARROW ESCAPE. Press .Association—liy Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. SYDNEY, April 2. (Received April 2, at 10.30 a.m.) The four-masted barque J. and T, Dollar, the largest sailing vessel that has ever entered Sydney, carrying a cargo of 2,660,000 ft of lumber from America, had a narrow escape from being wrecked o/f the Heads. The tow rope snapped in a heavy sea, and the big ship was driven within a cable length of the rocks before the tug secured a new bold. Only the skilful handling of the ship by the barque’s captain and the plucky work of the lug master averfed a disaster.
