The schooner Fred A. Tyler, which sank at the Pendleton wharf Fri- day, has been towed to New London by the tug Cassic of the T. A. Scott Co. for repairs. The large syphon pump. of the Scott company was work- ing on Saturday, but that was discon- nected, and the crew set to work with the hand pump after the cargo had been unloaded. The boat did not seem to leak after the cargo had been re- moved, so that the leak was in the up- per part of the vessel, above the water line, and not in the bottom, as was the general opinion. It is thought that the seams must have sprung from so heavy a load, as the boat was over- loaded with her cargo of coal. Rehearsal for Tree.
