THE STEAMER WALLACE IN TROUBLE.

(per united press association.)

Grkymottth, Oet 14. The Anchor Line steamer Wallace, while comiug in this afternoon, being very light, was caught on the top of a roller and thrown dangerously near the rocks, and before she coi Id regain her position in the channel she was struck on her quarter and lauded on th« stonework, where she lies full of Holes. All the passengers and most of their luggage were got ashore. There is connection between the ship and the shore by means of planks and ropes. There is a heavy sea run*niug, and a southerly wind blowing, which makes the vessel work on the stones a great deal. All the passengers and their luggage were safely Undcd, but the cargo has not yet been touched. The captain and crew are now all ashore. She is fast with a chain to her bow and a hawser at her stern, and as there are no signs of the weather moderating, she may remain where she is intact, but if the weather becomes rough she will probably break away and sink in the channel The Wallace is not iuaured. Deep sympathy is felt for Captain Williams and Co.

Three months ago she began to use Hop Bitters, with such good effect that she seems and feels young again, although over seventy years old." — ALadx in R.1,, U.S.A. Look up
