Washington City, March 17. - Three vessels of the United States navy are now ashore along the ooast of Martha's Vinyard, the Galena, the Nina and the Triana. The latter vessel, the navy departraent is informed, went ashore off Cutty Hunk Sunday. ShĂ© is in a very dangerous position, and if the weather continĂșes rough may become a total loss. A dispatch from Lieut. Commander Bicknell, in command of the Galena at the time she went ashore, states that the Galena lost her rudder post and part of her keel. He expressed the hope tb at the Nina would be sa ved if the weather was favorable. No mention was made of saving the Galena and at the navy department she is regarded as totally lost. No lives were lost.
