Big Schooner Blocks Channel at Harbor Entrance
A three mastered schooner named James H. Hargreaves from Christfield Maryland blocked the harbor channel by anchoring at 5 30 last night. The captain chose the anchorage causing winds to swing the vessel across the channel and delay the Bridgeport Pequot and Leboard steamers. Habormaster Morris arranged for the mate to move the ship by tying to another schooner. The captain was ashore and the mate appeared unsure of the proper steps. The schooner cleared the channel by midnight and the night steamers proceeded without further trouble.
