Brunswick Times: The bark Sralen,

out tho new clianDel on tire bar. Capt.
Johnson, accompanied by several others,
left for tho scene of the old wreck on
the tug Inca early in the morning. The
first charge was placed on the vessel's
deck. Wbon exploded, a large aperture
was made, and through this the second
charge of twenty-five pounds of dyna
mite was lowered, or dropped into tho
vessel’s hold. Five of these twenty-five
pound chargee were put in and ilred in
succession, until the old vessel was torn
literally to pieces. The vessel, as well
as tlie lumber It contains, is one promis
cuous and confused heap o; wreckage,
with the ruins of the vessel lying on top
of the lumber and bolding it on the bot
tom. The explosion sent a column of
water, with small pieces of wreck, it is
said, fully 100 feet in the air.
