ATiolher Important triumph In the lino of wrecking_bas been achieved by the steamer Andrew .lYHiuitli, of Murphy nros. line, in the rescue and gelling into harbor of tho schooner Starlight, stranded In Georgian Bay a short time since and abandoned as a total loss.

She Is next to the oldest craft on the lakes, I notice some mutters referring to narly marine history from a correspondent to a • Chicago paper.'
