GOES HARD AGROUND
AFTER TWO COLLISIONS
Brltlsli Steamship George Ppee
Stuck Fast In Sand at
Point Breeze.
DRAGGED HER ANCHOR OVER A HUE
Swept Before Violent Gale, the Ves?
sel Passed Through Fleet of Ten
Schooners, Crashing Into the John
Twohy on the Way?Hull Probably
Damaged.
After dragging anchor for more]
than a mile down the harbor through'
n fleet of about ten big .schooners.)
and colliding with the four-masted!
schooner John Twohy, the British
steamer George Pymnn, Captain I
Oalne, which arrived here Sunday
from St. Vincent, Cape Verdje islands,'
went hard ashore on the big sand bar
at Point Breeze, just south of this:
city, about 8 o'clock yesterday morn-'
ing during one of the most violent
wind storms that has swept over this
section in several years. The steam- j
er now rests in an easy position on
the bar and probably will be floated ,
today, whatever damage, if any, that
has been done her; hull, will not be j
ascertained until offer she has been j
docked at the shipyard and a survey
of her hull made.
Had Lost One Anchor.
When the storm arose the Pymnn ,
wns anchored off Chesapeake &. Ohio i
pier No. 8 with only her port anchor
overboard, the starboard one having
been lost in Hampton Roads Satur- j
day, while the vessel was anchored
off Old Point Comfort. i
As the fury of tho wind Increased
Captain Oaine played out the cable
on the port anchor, but tho anchor
could not hold the big ship against
the strong wind and about t; o'clock
she began drifting down the harbor
toward Hampton Roads. Her'skipper
Immediately sent up distress signals,
which were unanswered. He then
hoisted signals asking for n tugboat, i
but these, too, were unheeded.
Blown Rapidly Down Harbor.
With the wind steadily increasing
In velocity the steamship was blown '
rapidly down the harbor and before!
the crew could hoist sails and by'
their means keeps the drifting ves- j
sei clear of schooners anchored in
the harbor, the Pymnn crashed into
tho schooner John Towhy. The
stenmer Immediately heaved off with?
out damage to herself and it has not
yet been ascertained whether or not
the schooner sustained any damage.
Captain Gnine dared not attempt to
steam Ills vessel, for fear of ram?
ming the anchored schooners before
lie could get sufficient headway on
his vessel to keep her under control
In the face of the gale.
Sails Unco to Advantage.
Soon after the collision with the
Tw?hy, however, the crew succeeded
in hoisting the steamer's sails and
by heroic work prevented her from
colliding with other vessels. Tho
steamer enme dangerously near strik-1
lug the steamer Springburn, anchored
iu the harbor about a mile off Point
Rreeze, on several occasions, but she
was finally worked away from that
vessel.
In Bplte of every effort that could
be made to keep the drifting steamer j
In deep water, the wind blew her
shoreward and she was soon piled on '
the bar at Point Ureeze. The vessel
was not loaded and the wind and
waves forced her high on the bar
until she rested In only about soven
feet of water. Fortunately the strong
tide running over the bar quickly

First Steamship Ashore.
I This Is the first steamship over
driven ashore in this harbor and the
news of her grounding spread rapidly
and hundreds of people journeyed to
Point Breese during the day to wit?
ness the novel sight of a big steam?
ship lying only about 150 feet from
the shorp.
No. efforts to float the vessel were
made yesterday, as Captain Gaiuo. Is

the harbor to tow her to the yard,
but the little tow boat was unable to
handle the big craft in the face? of the

LIVER TROUBLE.
A dull, sluggish liver always brings a
dull, sluggish feeling to the entire body.
When tho liver
w o r k b-. properly
the blood course*
through tho body
In a bright red
stream. When the
liver Is Inactive
the blood be?
comes dull and
muddy.- and It In
full of polsouo'.w
natter.
A great manv
people try to got
Micnaei Silk a line, clear, pink
and white complexion by rubbing
tilings on their faces. They might
rub 0 life time and the samo yellow
complexion would remain?for the li?
ver causes it. Only bright, red blood
brings fine complexions. Blood load?
ed with Impurities from the liver
tjcnds tho impurities out. through the
pores of the skin nnd turns the skin
a brownish yellow.
To get. rid of the dull, heavy feel?
ing and muddy, yellow complexion
gel the liver to working again. Two
bottles of Cooper's New Discovery i
will do this nine times out of ten j
though sometimes it takes four or
five bottles.
Here's what. a man who tried It
says:
"My health had been poorly for
several years. My face was yellow
and covered with pimples, I was both
t ered constantly with chronic consti?
pation, had little or no appetite and
could not. sloop well at night. I be?
came weak and lost all ambition. I
tried many different medicines but
nothing seemed to help me until I
began taking Cooper's New Discov?
ery. It seemed to help mo al once.
Now, after I have taken several bot?
tles I feel entirely well. My face is
clear, 1 sleep well, have a pood appe
lite and am quite myself again."

stored health." Michael Silk. 24 Ken?
