THE I’NDIXE LAID AT REST.
|
The Wrecked Austrian Bark Pal Away
lor Good.
An Undertaking Three Timeß Aban
doned and Finally Accomplished.
The Old Hnlk no Longer an Ob
struction. but Serving a Useful Pur
pose in the Harbor Improvement.
Mr. Charles W. Johnston, of Johnston
& Townsend, of Somers Point. New Jer
sey, yesterday practically finished the
work of removing the bark Undine from
the channel near Long Island, where it
capsized and sunk on February 26. last,
while being towed from the quarantine
ataiion to the city.
The remains of what was. only a little
more than six months ago, a handsome
bark, are now lying in Back river near
the end of the Fig island training wall.
On Saturday night Mr. Johnston hail the
Undine towed to the point indicated by
Capt. Carter, and there scuttled her, it
being found impracticable to deliver her
at any wharf in the city for the ptirpo.se
of selling her at auction, on account of
there being at least fifteen feet of solid
mud in the hold.
The contract between Capt. O. M. Car
ter and Messrs. Johnston & Townsend
stipulated that all parts of the wreck re
moved, including the cargo and other
property which might prove of any value,
were to be delivered at some convenient
point on the shore. If of no value they
were to be placed at a point, designated
by Capt. Carter, where they would form
no obstruction to navigation. The con
tractor was at libertv. if he felt so dis
posed, to blow the hull to pieces by ex
plosives and remove the wreckage to the
marshes by the aid of lighters.
TUB FIRST JOB 7.ET.
April 11 a contract for raising the Un
dine was awarded by the Austrian consul
to Cooley & Brown for $3,000 After
working ten or twelve day s on the job and
spending SI,OOO those gentlemen gave up
the task as being an impossible one.
April 23 the vessel was sold at auction
and was purchased by Mr. F. M. Jones,
who announced his intention of raising
her. He made strong efforts to do this
bv battering down the hatches and stop
ping up all the openings he could reach,
but when he attempted to raise the ves
sel, after pumping out some of the water,
he found the job a hopeless one and be
yond the capacity of his plant.
When Mr. Jones abandoned the work
Capt. Carter invited proposals for remov
ing the hull from the river, as it was a
dangerous obstruction to navigation.
When the bids were opened on June 17
Messrs. Johnston St Townsend were
found to be the lowest bidders, and the
contract was awarded to them for $3,645.
They competed against the Merritt
Wrecking Company and the Chapman
Derrick and Wrecking Company, two of
the most powerful wrecking organiza
tions on the coast, and several others.
Messrs. Jacobson & Morris, a local firm,
hid $4,300.
Mr. Johnston announced his intention
of removing the Undine from the channel
intact, but in view of the failure of the
two previous contractors to do this, it
was freely predicted that he would not
succeed, and his undertaking was care
fully watched by steamboat anil river
men.
THE WORK COMMENCED.
Actual work was begun on July 31st,
and a careful examination made by a
diver that day showed that 4 hatches, 3
companion ways, 3 hollow iron masts, 3
dead lights, 2 ventilators, 2 skylights, 2
stove-pijie holes, 2 hawser pipe holes and
many other smaller openings had to he
made water tight before the work of
pumping out the water could begin. This
was a task of no mean difficulty, but
through the care and skill exercised by
Diver Ross, whose work was performed
entirely under water, was successfully
accomplished. The oj>onings were cov
ered over with tarpaulins and timber,
securely fastened by spikes. On
account of the frequent squalls and heavy
northeast winds encountered the work of
the dive r was much retarded, hut on
August 12 was so much advanced that
pumping by the tugboats Cambria and
Forest City began. After the pumping
had proceeded for some time and no ap
preciable gain being made. an examina
tion was made by the diver, who dis
covered anew hole, altout 4 feet by 4 feet
in dimensions, througn which the water
poured as fast as it was drawn out
through the ten-inch pump. This hole
was closed and the pumping was resum
ed. and on August the Hnh the contrac
or and the steamboat men had the proud
satisfaction of having their arduous and
intelligent labor rewarded. One of the
men of Capt. Johnston's party, as the un
drive slowly moved from her muddy bod
where she lay imbedded for nearly six
months, like Silas Wogg, dropped into
poetry and shouted.
She starts, she moves, she seem to feel
The thrill of life along her keel.
TOWEII OUT OF THE CHANNEL.
The Undine was then towed out of the
channel, safe from contact with passing
vessels, but Capt. Carter, not deeming the
spot selected to be safe, and to put tlie
vessel in a position where she could do no
harm in the future, designated a berth
behind the Pig island Jetty for her to re
main forever undisturbed, and she was
towed there last Saturday night, scuttled
ami sunk. So firmly is she imbedded at
that point that the hurricane of Sunday
night failed to dislodge her an inch: but
to make assurance doubly sure. Capt.
Carter has directed that piling be driven
all around her, thus making it impossible
for her to be driven away by the fiercest
of storms.
Mr. Johnston has successfully removed
many wrecks from this harbor and vicin
ity. but without doubt the raising of the
Undine was the most difficult task of this
kind ever undertaken by him in south
ern waters Taking into consideration
the fact that two unsuccessful attempts
to raise her had been made by local firms,
after an expenditure of several thousand
dollars, extending over a period of sev
eral weeks, and the further fact that mud
was daily entering the hull, adding to its
weight and making the task of raising it
more and more difficult as the days wore
on, Mr. Johnson's determination to raise
the vessel intact and not to break her up
by tlie use of dynamite was considered
foolhardy and not feasible, but subse
quent events justified the faith he had in
his plan.
AN ARDUOUS UNDERTAKING.
To Mr. Iloss. the diver, and to Mr. Pur
dee, the engineer of the Fores’ City,
great credit is due for the determined and
intelligent manner in which they per
formed the share of the work allotted to
them, till* latter stieking to tlie pumps
night and day until the Uudme was
floated and finally placed in a secure posi
tion Mr. Johnston and incidentally tlie
Propeller Towboat Company, cannot be
too highly commended on the successful
- accomplishment of this piece of work’ and
the removal from the chaunel of a dan
gerous menace to navigation. During the
progress of the work not an accident of
any kind occurred, no loss ol proper„y
was suffered, and no valuables of any
kmu were recovered from the wreck, most
of tlie fragile articles being broken iuto
fragments and small portable objects be
ing buried in the mud in the hold.
The Undine was 183.7 feet in length,
85 4 feet in breadth, and drew 19.6 teet
She was a composite vessel and was al
most as heavy as though built entirely of
. steel. She was built iu England in I si;,',
and shortly before sailing for this country
was insured for £4,000.
NAVAL UP.
A Difficulty Between the Exporters
and the Railroads.
A meeting of the member* of the board
of trade was called yesterday to appoint
a committee to confer with the Central
and Savannah. Florida and Western rail
roads. regarding the disposition of the
naval stores which is scattered about the
wharves.
The following gentlemen were appointed
on the committee: Messrs. Walter Coney,
James Farie. Jr., S. I*. Shottor and Capt.
C. Schwarz, from among the buyers, and
Messrs. John R Young, and L. McNeill
from among the factors.
The committee held a meeting at the
board of trade yesterday afternoon to dis
cuss the situation and report the results
of their conference with the railroad offi
cials
After talking over the matter for an
hour the meeting adjourned to meet again
at 10 o'clock this morning, at which time
a full report will be presented, as it was
impossible to pain any information yes
terday, the proper railroad officials not be
ing in the city.
The main object of the meeting of the
naval stores men is to try and get tiosses
sion of their stocks or to receive damages
for losses attending the handling of it. The
railroads refused to allow the owners to
select their stock from the wharves, and
there will probably be a great loss,
especially in spirits tur|>entine. as the in
tense heat of the sun causes the hoops on
the-barrols to burst and allows the con
tents to run out and waste.
Almost the entire stock of naval stores
on the wharves is owned by the export
ers, and it is they who are particularly
interested in saving as much of the stock
as possible. The factors are interested,
as the loss would be compared
with consumption and would have
the effect of increasing values in
the future market, The great damage,
and loss will, however, fall hard on the
exporters, as there are a number of ves
sels already chartered, which are in port
and to arrive to take cargoes to Europe.
The railroads are. in the meantime,
doing all they can to straighten out the
stock at the wharves.
The meeting to be held to-day will
probably decide what is to bo done about
the matter.
The stoek of rosin on hand is in the
neighborhood of 150,000 barrels and of
spirits about 32,000 barrels, a good deal
of which is mixeiTup so that it is with
difficulty that it can be straightened out
and got in the right hands.
TROLLEY CARS COLLIDE.
An Abercorn Street Car and a St. Julian
Car Bang Together.
The electric cars on the Electric
railway and the City and Suburban rail
way collided at the crossing of the two
lines at Abercorn and St. Julian streets
yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
Car No. 24 of the Electric railway was
going west on St. Julian street at full
speed when ear No. 10 of the City and
Suburban railway appeared going south
on Abercorn street, also at full speed.
The latter road has the right of way.
The motorman of the electric car put on
brakes and reversed his motor, but the
track being slippery on account of the
number of leaves ground to pieces on
thorn during the day the speed of the car
carried it straight ahead. The motorman
of the Abercorn car, expecting the other
ear to stop, did not hold up until the cars
were almost together, when he put on
brakes and reversed his motor. The ears
came together with considerable force.
The Electric car was knocked from the
track and the force of the shock threw
two other cars off the track. Each car
had several passengers, who received a
good shaking up, but only one injury was
reported, that of a lady, whose arm was
severely wrenched.
The ears were not damaged to any ex
tent. The track was blocked about an
hour, passengers being transferred around
the wreck.

and Savannah railway officials could give
n<i information as to wneu they would be
aide to send out a train. He determined
to take the train on the South Carolina
railway, leaving at 0:40 o'clock yesterday
morning, in the hope of getting a train to
Savannah by the South Bound at Den
mark. He was disappointed in this, and
so kept on to Augusta, where he arrived
aliout noon. He left Augusta by the Cen

in Savannah at 6:20 o'clock last night.
NOT AS GREAT AS RELIEVED TO BE.
lie says while the damage in Charles
ton is great it is not so great as it is gen
erally believed to be. Hundreds of houses
in the city were unroofed and many
houses had their fronts blown off.
The greatest damage is at the battery,
every wharf on the river front being tom
away and the buildings in that section
generally wrecked.
The water did not come up into the city
at all. except in the neighborhood of the
battery and in the lower portions of the
town.
The severest portion of the storm, Mr.
Strauss said, was between midnight and
2 o'clock Monday morning. The St.
Charles hotel shook to its foundations and
the guests thought every minute the
building,was coming down on their heads.
Storm Notes.
The Georgia Hussars, in returning from
Bonaventure cemetery yesterday after
noon, had to jump their horses onto one
end of the bridge and jump them off the
other. The Shell Road Company should
have the bridge put back in its position
without further delay, or stop taking toll
until it does.
Henry Anibos of Thunderbolt, who
was injured the night of the storm, is out
again.
A schooner is up on the Warsaw wharf
at Thunderbolt.
The dance slit J in Bonaventure Grove
is wrecked.
Capt. W. T. Daniels, Jr., and T. H.
Brown, contractor, went down the river
yesterday toexamine the pilot bo it Belie,
to see how she can be gotten of McQueen's
island.
The county commissioners should re
pair the bridge across Isle of Hope cause
way at once. People are getting tired of
‘•skinning the cat’’ across the railroad
bridge. Don’t wait, Messrs. Commission
ers. until plans are drawn for anew
bridge; the old one is better than none.
At Wilmington Island not a single
building was harmed by the storm. The
only damage done was a small portion of
fence blown down. The wharf was in
jured by the heavy sea.
Tlie weather bureau reports of the
storm at Charleston put the maximum
velocity of the wind at 72 miles per hour
from the northeast Sunday, and Sunday
night 06 miles per hour from the east.
Monday morning a maximum velocity of
68 miles per hour from the south was re
corded. The total rainfall for the twenty
four hours ending ut 8 o’clock Monday
morning was 3.80 inches.
The British steamship Mara, Captain
Jenkins, and the Spanish steamship Pe
layo. Captain Baldo, arrived at quaran
tine last night. They were released from
the national quarantine station at Sapelo
on Sunday, hut were detained on account
of the storm. The Pelayo is from Sagua,
from whence she sailed on Aug. 5, ar
riving at Tybec about two weeks ago, and
was sent to Sapelo to be detained anil
disinfected. The Mara arrived at the
quarantine station from Demerara, on
Aug. 15, and after remaining several
days was sent to Sapelo, a case of small
pox haring developed on board. The pa
tient has recovered and the vessel was
inspected and thoroughly disinfected be
fore being released from Sapelo quaran
tine.
The “flotsams and jetsams" of the
storm continue to float in. If all the per
sonal experiences of that eventful night
could be gathered, it would fill a library
full of books. There is no place that lias
not had its haps and mishaps, but princi
pally the latter.
The occupants of Mr. J. G. Butler's
house at Tybce were rescued by Messrs.
Henry and Charles Green during the
storm. Their own house was burning,
but they saw the danger threatening
Mr. Bntier's residence, as it was more
exposed than any house in Beacon pond,
and went to the rescue, swimming part
of the way, and carried Mrs. Butler and
others to places of safety. The house
soon after collapsed anil was swept away.
The entire population living in the
lower part of Beaufort county, S. C., has
been ordered out to repair roads and
bridges, and in a few days the country
will he open to travel. Just now no one
' can go very far from homo unless they go
in boats.
The steamship City of Augusta did not
leave last night, but will this morning.
Capt. Daggett, in view of the fact that
the river and bar buoys are out of place
and a number of the lights goue, thought
it best to go out in daylight.
The Best in the World.
Senator Henry C. Nelson, of New York,
writes: “On the 27th of February, 188;},
I was taken with a violent pain in the re
gion of the kidneys. I suffered such agony
that! could hardly stand up. As soon as
possible 1 applied two Allcock’s Porous
Plasters, one over each kidney, and laid
down. In an hour, to my surprise and
delight, the pain had vanished and I was
well. I wore the plasters for a day or
two as a precaution, and then removed
them. 1 have been using Allcock’s
Porocs Plasters in my family for the last
ten years, and have always found them
the quickest and best remedy for colds,
strains and rheumatic affections. From
my experience 1 believe they are the best
plasters in the world.”—ad
