This boat was sunk in Buffalo wo years ago, and in the harbor at Buf- falo' is no small menace to naviau- tion. The Reid Wrecking company failed to raise the boat some 'ime ago, and the underwriters turnal her over to the U, 8. government, whick has arranged with the Hincklay Wrecking company to give it the boat for the raising of her.
