DAMAGED NORTHUMBERLAND
POSITION IMPEOVED. GOOD PATCHING AND PUMPING. GISBOENE, This Day. The position of the Northumberland is much improved and pumping work has been reduced today. Operations on board are now being devoted to getting the ship in readiness to steam to another port, but to which port is not yet known. The vessel is now floating in a much improved position, due largely to the patching of the hull and pumping work in the No. 2 hold. Tho sea still remains calm and from the present indications it appears as if no further lightering of cargo will be necessary.—Frees Assn.
