-Norwegian barque Braekka, Neiisen,
sailed from Amsterdam on the 1st ins?., for
this port. ,
The signal observer at Halterae, North
Carolina, reports that the schooner .fifeafc
OrM, with a cargo of guano, from Balti
more for this port, went ashore seven miles
south of Hattera Inlet on Monday The
captain and crew were all safely landed.
The vessel and cargo will probably prove a
total loss.
A curiosity is now to be seen at (Japt.
Skinner's shipyard in the shape of a portion
of tbe gunboat Raleigh, which was built
here in 1863 and soon afterwards sunk on
the rip off New Inlet . Mr. James Nolan,
on the wrecking schooner TFiaas. under
command of CapL Horton, was cruising in
that neighborhood a day or two. since,
when they came across aome obstacle 00
the bottom, whereupon Capt. Loriog, an
experienced submarine diver, -donned his
suit and went down, placing two kegs of
gun powder in tbe midst of tbe obstruction
and setting it off. The result enabled him
to ascertain that it was the wreck of a ves
sel, and he next placed a thirty-five pound
package of powder under tbe wreck and
blew it apart, when a portion of the sunken
gunboat, which proved to be the front of the
turret, was brought to tbe surface, hitched
on to the schooner and brought lo this port,
where it was dropped on tbe railway at
CapL Skinner's yard and hauled up out of
tbe water, it is chit fly valuable for tbe
iron which is attached to it, but if it was
in some sections of tbe country Mr. Nolan
and bis confrere would be overrun with
applications rrom relic seekers, aod tbe en
terprise might eventually prove an exceed
ingly proutaoie one.
