The stranded coaster is well up on the beach, and sheltered from all weather except westerly. One suggestion is that the steamer should be jacked across and dropped over i> the mole into the river, but _ in' ; salvage operations tho Governing fact is how much in th? way, of hard usage her venerable hull will stand. Tenders are now .being received, for th» vessel as she lies. .'
