She sailed hence, on Sunday the 18th of December,
just after the great fire in Ceder street, in a violent
snow storm, and for fourteen consecutive days
perenced head winds and gales, strong
enough to have torn any common vessel to pieces.
The ed interesting letter. from Mr. Fletcher,
passenger board, to Mr.. Edward Thompson, of
South street, gives all the particulars =
FAYAL, JANUARY 2, 1910.
DEAR EpwARp-You will, doubt, be little
asnonished, when you receive this written in one of
the Western Islands, where were compelled to
put in for coal We made land at one O'clock on
the 10Th ult and came to anchor the morning of the
Both. We had about 1900 tons coal when ar
rived and intended to take about 800 tons from here.
Ii is very tedious to get them board in lighters,
we lay about three quarters, one mile from
shore. hope we viii get from here the 18th, at
the longest, If the weather continues good.
You may wonder, when tell YOU, we had head
winds aud very heavy all the way. YeSter-
day was the first westerly wind which still conti-
nues. We passed the ship Toronto the 9th, in
company with the brig Caroline Of New Brunswick,
with cargo Of timber, for port in Scotland, feet
water in the hold. She also put in here. We passed
the British brig Lord John RUSSELL loaded with
timber, bulwarks carried away-deck swept clear
ofeyery thing-lost the watch over board-wantcd
a barrel of pork and some provision. We could not
supply them, as II blew gale of wind, therefore,
could render no assistance. We lost one man over
board. and a second fell over board also, which we
picked up Mr.. Daubney, the American Consul,
gave grand party the night of the 3lst December.
We could enjoy IL very much, all Portuguese ex-
cept the British COnsuls family. DO not wonder at
my meeting two Irish ladies at the party. They
bound for savannah board the ship Washington at
Liverpool put in through distress; Also six others,
from the same am told there never were
so many vessels here al one tine before. We cal
culate to reach Liverpool about the 10th 18th inst

will be very short. Still | am determined TO return
by her, whatever the result may be- IL this reach
you before the return of the Liverpool, you will
please let Mrs. T. know the detention have met
with, or Mrs. H. Yours truly,
f. FLETCHER.

ting in here-I am repaid for my trip.
Another letter received by the Mutual Insurance
Company. states that the ship behaved wonderfully
well, and that Captain Engcsdue deserves all praise
for his GOODNESS and skill The Transatlantic Com
pany, when the Liverpool commenced running
sent one thousand tons Of coal TO Fayal " TO meet
any emergency that might occur" From this sup
ply about three hundred tons taken ON board
the steamer. She sailed the Sd alt. for Liverpool
and viii probably reach there on the llth ut., and
therefore could not have very well sailed on the
3cth. As she is TO undergo repairs and altera-
tons, she NAV no; have left till the lst inst and
perhaps not then. IL new boilers were put into her.
has been contemplated, we cannot expect her be-
fore the middle Of next month.
The Great Western is advertised to leave the
10th instant and may therefore be the next steam ship
from England. If so, she will be here in three
weeks hence. In the mean time, however, several
sailing packets will arrive, and perhaps the Liver
pool Commodore Tom Boxer will therefore keep
a sharp lcok out
