blown with great violence all day.
The steamer New Haven, from GreenDort for
Aiyns Point, came over usual and landed her
passengers at the Point tool, ON board the Boston

She did not venture the Sound how
ever. but remained here until this morning. when

over to Fishers Island
The Mohcgan has Just returned y o clock I. NJ /
and reports the vessel to be the At1aatic; that she
is ut anchor about fourth ci mile from the shore
and appeaysto ride with ease. Her smoke pipes
are gone, rs also are her paddle. boxcs-supposed !
tohave been removed, TO prevent the action of the |
wind from driving her on shore.
The Mohegan. owing 20 the violence o! the gale /
could hold no communication with those on board,
aud could learn no facts in relation 10 her getting
iuto such situation. 1t is supposed, from the pc
ston SHE was trst seen M IN the morning that she

10 come to anchor, and the hercencss OF the gale /
drove her on ee.shore She was seen by seve.
