the rain came in spteful spirits they were at loss
how to enjoy themselves Small boats piled about the
steamer, their passengers much moved by the rough
waters, sfordng a view Of her from stem to stern.
vgilant guard was kept at the single entrance TO
the ship and admission refused to every one when
the preparations for hauling off had began.
The impotence of the thropg on the pier was q
moment diverted by the extemporaneous discourse Of
female evangelist who selected this gddy for the
dispeniation of Gospel truth. Her words were well
choten but the police could not perceive the point Of
the Argument, especially in view Of her bitter denunc
atoms Of the great enterprise lying before her congre
cation. She accused the inoensive vessel of taking
away all the money Of the people, and was arrested
just when she had begun to the conscences Of
her bearers.
The impatience was aggravated by the hints of i'm
mediate departure the big ship continually threw out
from her pipes Smoke pulled thence, at provoking
intervals for several weary hours, and once the great
wheel made move. About o'clock all the enthus
that had been extnguished by delay and rain
revived by plain indications of speedy start and
all the woodples and the rigging Of the near vessels
were filed. The two most persuasivet tugs ahoat were
standing off and on to the steamer, and the crowd ex
pected 10 see them made fast. But presently, without
The least strain the cables and chains at bow
and stern were clipped and drawn into their holes.
Captain Hall appeared on the wheel-house next the
city, and uttered clear commands; and while all the
people wondered whether the strength of the two tugs
would be equal the tack Of drawing off the boat the
paddle-wheel slowly and with majesty turned, and,
like huge, noiseless phantom, the Great Eastern
eded from the shore without the assistance of either
tug. The movement was quiet and grand the senses
could scarcely realize that the monster not inspired
with more than the wonderful genius of her designer
ANY little vessel that gets out into the channel makes
more fs and has more trouble than made and had the
Great Eastern And Philadelphia must settle about
the mud In which she was firmly imbedded.
The mighty hulk moved gracefully over the water;
out in the stream her anchors dropped, and the
boat nodded salute to the city, the flags Of England and
the United States waving fore and aft.
A large number of tickets have been sold for the
excursion to Cape May. The holders will be conveyed
to the steamer the Island Belle from the foot Of
Hammond street. and requested not to be later than
o'clock, the steamer sailing at 3. More than dozen
minor vessels advertised to accompany the big boat
to the Hook.
On Thursday the second excursion will be made to
Old Point Comfort and Annapolis Roads, arriving of
Fortress Monroe Friday evening, and leaving early
on Sunday morning for the return. The particulars
will be found in the advertisement Of the Company.
1t is grea, dea this supendous ship sailing naturally
