Hospital Ship Ashore

Newport, R. I., Sept. 6. - The steamer City of Lewiston, chartered by the Massachusetts Aid association to bring sick soldiers of New England regiments from Moiïtauk Point, went ashore at 9 o'clock at night at Point Judith in the heavy fog. The tugboat John F. Gaynor was near at hand with a lighter. After much tribulation and distress the 137 wretched soldiers aboard were safely transferred to the lighter. Several of the more feeble of these men are likely to die as a result of the extraordinary exposure. The lighter brought them all into this port.
