The tide fell and when it ro9o the stern end was 'filled with water, Every effort had been made to dislodge her before the tide should rise, but without avail. Mr. Koithan arrived on the scene and investigated the matter. Ho found that a son of the owner of the dock at Thunderbolt had ordered the marshal to to turn the boat adrift, on the ground as he said, that the smoke stack of the boat was omiUiug sparks, that might set property on lire. Capt. Jones had previously obtained the consent of the owners to tie the boat there. The matter has boon placed in tho hands of a competent lawyer in Jacksonville. He will bring a civil suit for damages, as we1! as a criminal charge under tho laws of fc.;at State, prohibiting tho turning loose of boats. Thunderbolt is a small town, used as a seatide epsort on tho Atlantic [Coast, not far from Jacksonville. Modern Sunday School Courses.
