Only Three Feet of Water when
She Went Ashore.
Naw York, Nov 23. —The steam

Her second officer Edward Webbsr,
said today that when tbs steamer
was at Cat island the Infanta
Maria Teresa was lying in about
fifteen feet of water and the surf
was breaking over her. She was
lying easy and not ou tbe rock,
but with'her nose in tbe sand.
“Had the surf not been so high,
I believe that we could have pull»d
her off,” said Mr. Webber, “I
questioned the natives and iearu*
ed from them that the Maria Tere

8 o'clock in tbe morning, the
Thursday after she was abandon

“She rede in gracefully, a.id

It is my opinion as well as the
opinion of the others on C*t is
land that for some reason au at*
