Hearing that an attempt would be made tO' launch the stranded brigantine Emulous at 3: o’clock on Thursday morning, a number of citizens proceeded out to where the vessel lies for the purpose of rendering what assistance they could on the cccasion. At a few minutes before 1 o’clock the foresail and .the foretopsail were set, there being a light breeze from the N. W,, and the blocks were knocked away, but the vessel did not move an inch. Three screw jacks were brought to bear on the stern end of the carriage of the vessel was resting on, and at 2.12, the tide then being full, the vessel began to move steadily down. The timbers strained and creaked a good deal, and after going about fifteen feet she came to a stop. Lanterns were brought into requisition, and a thorough examination of the ways made, and ic wa,s found that the sliding carriage on which t’ne vessel rested bad slipped on the south way, and brought her up completely janlmed. Finding that i t was impossible to move ber the contractor wisely concluded to leave her, as before another attempt could be made to launch her the sea will have to drive her further up on the beach.
