know, that the :value of the lumber
on the wrecked Norrie will not pay
the tug and other charges.
The schooner Ariel arrived in
harbor ou Wednesday morning
with a cargo of lumber for W. and
H. Dyment. The Ariel was towed
from Kin eardino by the tug Onap-
ing.
The daily papers state that the
City of Owen Sound was wrecked in

The steamer Utifcrl Empire did
not arrive on Saturday as expected.
Enquiries' show that she broke her

misfortune for Goderich, as at pre-
sent there are over fifty car loads of
freight awaiting these boats.

Captain Jas. W: Green of the
schooner M. L. B,eeh• effeeted the
rescue of the crew of the J. D.
Norris consisting of five hien and
ono woman. The crew were taken
off the vessel during the storm of
Monday, ono of the severest on
Lake Huron for many years, the
rescue occupying between three .slid
four hours. We are informed that
the utmost difficulty was exper-
ienced in nearing the wreck, but
obstacles were eventually ' overcome
by the gallantry and seamanlike
qualities of Captain Green and his
crew, and the six persons safely
placed on board the M. L. Brecht.
We aro always pleased to record an
act of bravery, but the pleasure is
enhanced in this case by the fact
that Captain Green is a resident of
Goderich and ono of her hest known
sailors.

The wtock (the J. D. Norris, of
Detroit) that was mentioned in last
week's iasue as nearing this port,
was. washed on shorn about two
miles south of this place early on
'Wednesday morning. On the same
meaning the tug Derailing of Wind
sor took her off the beach and
brought her towards this harbor; on
trying to enter which the wreck
stuck fast on the bar. P,y Thurs-
day noon the Norris had drifted a
few fathoms, to the north of the
north pier, and it was 'determined
to bring her in if possible. Tito
Gimping put a line on her and after
two hours steady work, during
which titne one line was broken,
she was steaming away westward
with the Norris. About two miles
from harbor she turned with her
charge and made for the harbor at
a high rate of spend. The sand
bat' however again claimed toll and
the .Norris was again left at rest.
During the afternoon the Todmcara
was placed beside the Norris, i+, and
received about thirty thousand feet
of the latter's cargo. The Onapinq
then fixed a line and startod 1'or the
harbor, the Norris following in her
wake. The Norris is a complete
